College football is right around the corner. The next crop of players are starting to report back to campus for training camp.
The extremely arbitrary, and way too meaningful, preseason polls are being unveiled.
And when the season kicks off, there will undoubtedly be an excessive amount of criticism over the BCS and college football's bowl system.
But one bit of news this week makes bowl games all the more awesome: there's going to be a spud bowl.
That's right. The Humanitarian Bowl, played on Boise State's ugly Smurf Turf, has been renamed after Idaho's claim to fame -- the potato.
On Dec. 17, the Famous Idaho Potato will kick off in Boise.
The spud bowl logo's was clearly designed to look good on top of a heinous blue field, and its' complete with sour cream and chives on the potato - um football.
Idaho's not just potatoes, but mostly.
And as a former Idahoan, I'm glad the state's biggest football game is now named for the claim to fame. After all Idaho has been the nation's largest producer of potatoes every year since 1957.
Now, where can I get a spud to eat.
