U of Michigan are the 'Wolverines' and Michigan State are the 'Spartans'. If you live in rural Michigan you can watch the snow fall or watch football with a few beers.

And in rural Iowa, where the U of Iowa Hawkeyes are 11-0, you can watch the corn grow or watch football with a lot of beers. After a 12 pack, you can pretend you're in Hawaii and almost believe it!

It is! And they will be going up against (I think) Stanford, the #6 team. It is one of the few bowl games that means anything. There are so many toilet bowl teams playing this year (5-7, 6-6 records) that much of the post season is a bad joke!

Heck, ya! The University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs versus The University of Akron Zips! I'd pay to see that! (provided they give me a good seat and a cold pony keg of decent beer)

I've seen the college world series on ESPN now and again. They also have college hockey on some secondary stations, but that probably wouldn't interest you.
