After a brutal, brutal stretch of days on end without FBS college football, it's finally here: The 2008-2009 College Football Bowl Season.

And before anyone chimes in with blah, blah playoffs or blah, blah too many bowls, let me just give the slow clap to The Joe Cribbs Car Wash, who understands the true meaning of college bowl season:

Don't you dare fall for that big-media line about there being "too many bowls." These are the last crumbs, the final few morsels of college football we get until going without for eight freaking months, and you should love all of them unconditionally. OK, so even I wouldn't carve out any plans to watch Louisiana Tech-Northern Illinois, but no one's strapping you down Clockwork-Orange-style and forcing you to watch, are they? I say if a bunch of nutso civic-minded businessmen want to blow a wad of cash on a game no will watch but that will feel like a reward to two bunches of kids who have worked their tails off all season and deserve some kind of thanks for it, by all means, be my guest.

You damn skippy, Joe Cribbs Car Wash.

For those of you that need to FEEL the slow clap, feel on, brothers.
