Aaaaaaaand they're off....

Update 1
The New Mexico Bowl is looking pretty crappy.  The best news to come from this stinker is that the pathetic U of New Mexico Lobos (1-11 this year) have hired Bob Davie to take over as head coach.  The Wyoming Cowboys, who are participating (not "competing") today, look terrible.  They're being pushed around, outhustled, out-everythinged.  The halftime score is 28-7, Temple.  Temple is positively cavorting about the gridiron thus far.  Cavorting.  Aaaargh.
Update 1A
Final 37-15.  A craptacular start for us!
Update 2
O...M...G...with a couple minutes to go, Utah State punts from it's end zone and Ohio takes over around the 45.  They move downfield and find themselves 4th and about 6 around the 20.  Utah, and this is the OMG, blitzes the 4th down play, and the pass is completed into the area vacated by the blitzing defender.  There's a bunch of referee conferring and reviewing, but in the end Ohio scores the winning TD with :13 to play.  Utah squanders a 13 point lead, and we have gone to 0-2.  Final 24-23. Props to the Ohio coach for keeping his wits at crunch time and stealing a win-and stealing my money!
Update 3
The Ragin' Cajuns and SDSU are offering up the best play of the day.  The Cajun fans have made the 2 hour trek to NOLA and they're plenty vocal.  SDSU has a very good QB and a big dog running back.  This should be fun.
Update 3.1
Halftime, it's the Cajuns 13-3.  I don't count anything before the final tick of the clock. This has been great fun so far, though!
Update 3.2
The Ragin' Cajuns win a thriller with a game ending 50 yard field goal, 32-30.  They were ranked last--#120--in one preseason poll, it's their first D1 bowl game ever, and they played their hearts out.  It's our first win of bowl season!

Mr. Gunn, you have hit the bullseye. It was great to see LaTech get the W, even though we were already covered, it was a great win for them.

As for divulging some of the more evocative nuances of the dark science, I suggest that that be reserved to the paying public at the TGP 2 N's Can't Lose Seminar at the annual Veterans Day extravaganza and floating crap game.
