Odds on Bowl Games
Hey in case you didn't know, we are almost in College Football Bowl Season. While to some that is just a lame excuse to sit around, drink beer & watch football, to me & Nips it's actually a really good excuse to sit around, drink beer & watch football.
An interesting thing about the Bowl Games though, is that each college athlete that plays in one of these gets - yes, a goodie bag! Incredibly enough,they are not just limited to undeserving celebs anymore, they are also available to 20 year olds that are probably getting laid more this weekend than I have in the past 10 years.
All of this led me to start thinking about the Goodie Bags, what their contents are - and the odds of a number of things happening.
