The San Diego County Credit Union Poisonous Plant Bowl

The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl was, without a doubt, the best football game on TV tonight.

What? You want to hear more about it? Well... I don't generally do this, but here goes nothing.

Texas Christian University, the #4 defense in the country, crushed NCAA leading rusher Garrett Wolfe and Northern Illinois 37-7. Fortunately for TCU, they didn't have to worry about defending the pass at all during the game (because NIU's quarterback Phil Horvath was injuried against Central Michigan) and were able to concentrate all their effort on trying to kill a 5-foot 7-inch running back.

To Garrett Wolfe's credit, he did not die.

Let's not even get started on TCU quarterback Jeff Ballard, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for 253 yards and another TD through the air in the absolutely gorgeous TCU option attack. If Michael Vick was a quarterback, he'd be Jeff Ballard. Though I'm not crazy about purple and black, and I have no idea what the fuck a Horned Frog is, it apparently knows when to pitch and when to pass. That's all I need to make me a very happy football fan.

FUN FACT: Northern Illinois played Western Michigan, Central Michigan, and Eastern Michigan this year. Apparently Southern Michigan was too busy. For those that care (none of you), Western Michigan won the fictional Directional Michigan Universities Bowl, since they're the only one to beat NIU.

Actually, Central Michigan won the Directional Michigan's "Trophy" by winning at Eastern Michigan and at home against Western Michigan.

Oh God, I had no idea they actually would play each other, but leave Southern Michigan out! How awful is that? For all we know they're the best Directional Michigan University.
