The Sickos Committee Bowl Previews Part 3 - The Quick Lane, First Responder, Guaranteed Rate, Military Bowl, Duke's Mayo, Holiday, and Texas Bowl.

Here at the Sickos Committee, we wanted to do something interesting for our bowl game previews. We wanted to give a brief rundown of the game and then wanted to provide you some weird information about each Bowl Game in a way we hope is unique to Bowl Season.

The basic information associated with the bowl game will come along with the closest fast food restaurant nearest to the the stadium and the closest Bowling alley since GoBowling.com is now a bowl game sponsor.

We will break down the games with the information here and we hope you enjoy the random read.

• Bowl Location: City, State and Stadium.

• Bowl Match-up: What teams are actually playing in the game.

• Title Sponsor: Who sponsors this bowl game.

• Closest Fast Food Restaurant to Bowl Game: Where can you grab some food quickly before or after the game.

• Random Stat for each team: Yeah its going to be random because we chose these with a spinning wheel and no we will not compare teams based on the same stat because that would be too helpful.

• Closest school stadium to a Bowling Alley: Who can go bowling quicker?

Will these previews be anything you can base the Sicko-ness of a game? Maybe. The Ranking Numbers are where the school finished ranking in FBS in our final Sickos Poll.

Also, we will neon out all the bowl logos just because we wanted too. It’s not beveling but we hope you enjoy the neon signs.
