Bowl Season Has Begun!

It's official - the first bowl games are in the books. This coincidentally included the uDrive Humanitarian Bowl. Earlier, we said this:

• uDrove Humanitarian Bowl: Good news, WAC fans! The Humanitarian Bowl is no longer sponsored by a now-defunct computer manufacturer, nor is it sponsored by a regional chain of truck stops. Instead, it's now sponsored by a company that makes mobile applications to handle trucking paperwork. Seriously. As an added bonus, it's Fresno State's turn to shiver on the blue turf this winter, and they're playing a Northern Illinois team that will not only be better acclimated to the cold but is also looking for its 11th win. Don't be surprised if this turns into a laugher.

So, how did Fresno State do? How about Northern Illinois 40, Fresno State 17?

Right.

On an entirely non-football related front, if you're looking for a simple and inexpensive gift for someone, I strongly recommend the Humble Indie Bundle. It's a suite of computer games for Windows, Mac, and Linux and you get to name your own price. Want to pay $0.01? You can do that. Want to pay $100? You can do that too - heck, if you want this sort of thing to happen again, I recommend a number closer to the $100 than the $0.01. Either way, you can download the games as many times as you want. Added bonus? No DRM - this means no product keys, no "utilities" installing themselves with the games monitoring your every move, nothing. You download them, you install them, you run them. Heck, you could download the installers, put them on a USB key, and give them to your friends. Nobody will stop you.

Hey, this saves you money for Wolf Pack merchandise from Silver & Blue Outfitters. Just sayin'.
