The Mom Bowls

Some members of my family have been busy watching the College Bowls. For those of you who are athletically challenged (or easily bored) like I am, let me explain the system to you as best I can.

From what I understand, a College Bowl game is a football game that isn’t on the teams’ schedule, it’s a post-season invitational. More like a beauty pageant than a sports rivalry. There are games that are considered more prestigious and viewed as play-offs between better teams. Think Miss Congeniality. The rest seem to be an attempt to fill time between commercials.

I may not be a football player, but I’ve maintained a home and been a Mom for a while now, and I’ve been involved in a few post-season invitationals myself over the years. So here’s a list of MY Bowl moments:

The Home Based Bowls:
The Dust Bowl: No one’s playing cause who’s got time? This is an easy bowl to ignore.
The Laundry Bowl: No winner here. You can play the game but the next day you end up playing all over again.
The Toilet Bowl: The never ending bowl. You play round after round but no one wants to be called the winner.
The “I Hate Dinner” Bowl: Winner goes to bed hungry.

The Childcare Bowls:
The Enema Bowl: Sorry, game canceled. We need to evacuate the field.
The Diaper Rash Bowl: The competition is raw.
The Ipecac Bowl: This challenge is a god old-fashioned throw down (up).
The Disrespect Bowl: Everyone loses because no one follows the rules.
The Where’d it Go Bowl: Everything disappears; first the concessions, then the players.



Popovers, loved by all in my family

The “Letter” Bowls:
The MYOB Bowl: We won’t be divulging who the players are.
The BYOB Bowl.  Best. Bowl. Ever. The fans win!
