Your College Football Bowl And BCS Game Announcers

We finally have all of the information needed to put together a full and complete list of the bowl games and their announcers. With the exception of the sideline reporters for the BCS games (and who gives a shit about sideline reporters), we know where everyone will be and what games they will be doing. If you're a Penn State fan, you'll be happy to know that former PSU star Todd Blackledge will be on the mic analyzing in Orlando for the Capital One Bowl which will feature Penn State (WE ARE!!!) taking on LSU (WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? MY GOSH!). But I'm getting ahead of myself, we will start this year with the epic New Mexico Bowl! Okay, so Fresno State and Wyoming isn't exactly epic, but you get my point. Then again, some of the scenery you get during that game is beautiful.....

Okay, JFein, enough. 2009-2010 college football bowl schedule. Are you ready? LET'S GO! (all times eastern)

While there are some throwaway games, there are certainly some interesting ones up there as well. And once again, it figures that Pammy gets the worst and most useless bowl game that there is. She just can't catch a break, now can she?

Do take note though of that AutoZone LIberty Bowl as that will be the last football game ever called by the great Ron Franklin. Too bad ECU had to ruin it by beating Houston in the C-USA title game, as Houston vs. Arkansas would have been awesome. But ECU may not be such a bad game either. We'll see.

To a great career, Ron Franklin, and to learning your lesson about making slightly suggestive and rude comments to Holly Rowe.
