Monday Bowl Previews/Open Thread: Let’s slaughter some poetry in service of bad bowl games.

There are three bowl games today. No team playing in any of these dog and turtle shows has won more than 7 games this season. I’m not saying it’s the worst day of bowls in college football history (though that point’s been made pretty convincingly).

How to preview such an amalgamation of games that should have come with a gift receipt for speedy returns? How about by butchering a beloved holiday classic? Yeah, that seems about right.
