What bowl?: The Roady's Humanitarian Bowl.
Who's playing? Maryland Terrapins vs. Nevada Wolf Pack.
When is it? December 30, 4:30 PM EST.
Where is it? Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho.
Why should you watch? Because you've wondered what it's like watching a bowl game where less than 30 tickets have been sold to the respective student bodies, and you have no idea why anyone would stage a bowl game in Boise, Idaho.  Also, you want to see if Chris Turner, Darrius Heyward-Bey and that one running back are really as good as they looked when they beat our Bears.

Where is it? Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California.
Why should you watch? Because your name is JShuFail.  Failing that, because you have Pac-10 pride.  Failing that, because you love the triplets of Bobby Reid, Dez Bryant, and Kendall Hunter.  Failing that, you love Jeremiah Johnson and LaGarette Blount.

Who's playing? #20 Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Oregon State Beavers.
When is it? December 31, 2:00 PM EST.
Where is it? Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
Why should you watch? Because you love Dave Wannstedt's mustache, you want to see if Jacquizz Rodgers really is better than Jahvid Best, and you're still confused as to how Cal lost to the Beavers.  Or you love Beavers All-Access.

What bowl?: The Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl.
Who's playing? Boston College Eagles vs. Vanderbilt Commodores.
When is it? December 31, 3:30 PM EST.
Where is it? LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee.
Why should you watch? Because the Sun Bowl ends up being a blowout, and you're mildly amused by the notion that Vanderbilt hasn't won a bowl game since 1955.  Not that they have much chance of winning one in 2008 either.

What bowl?: The Insight Bowl.
Who's playing? Kansas Jayhawks vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers.
When is it? December 31, 5:30 PM EST.
Where is it? Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.
Why should you watch? Because you have a soft spot in your heart since the Insight Bowl was the first bowl game of the Tedford era and you fondly remember that shootout between the Rodgers-led Bears and the Virginia Tech Hokies back when they had an offense.  And you're surprised that Minnesota has a good team this year and you want to check them out.  Seriously, weren't they like 2-10 last year or something?
