College bowl games continue.

Regular season is almost over, what an NFL football year it has been. The Terrell Ownes saga reared its ugly head, Carolina Panthers cheerleaders go berserk in a bathroom at a Tampa bar, Minnesota Vikings sex cruise, Ricky Williams back in action, Indy Colts went 13 straight… Bookies are glad this brutal season with favorites winning a LOT is almost over, with all the stats, info and inside information lurking on the Internet - bettors are very smart indeed!

Blame it on superstition that you just want to be surrounded by happy, beautiful people when the year turns. There’s no shame in that, or owning a feather boa. After all, New Year’s Eve is one occasion that calls for bubbles, costumes, and pyrotechnics all in one breath.

That’s why Las Vegas is top-of-mind. It’s one of those places where you go to celebrate with the celebrated, as if life isn’t redundant enough. Should you end up in Vegas on New Year’s Eve, it won’t hurt knowing whom you’ll potentially run across. Especially that their aura just might rub off of you all year.

Okay, so here we are, on the brink of kicking the old fart we call 2005 in the ass and ushering in the new and fresh aura of 2006. But before we do just that, let’s take a look at some of the best stories of the past 365 days.

10. Fernando Alonso Dethrones Michael Schumacher

Yep, it finally happened. The long (and boring) stranglehold of Scuderia Ferrari’s ace driver, Michael Schumacher, finally came to a close in 2005 when a Spanish Renault driver named Fernando Alonso took advantage of his fast start in the season, holding on just enough to end 2005 with an F1 championship.

Crazy buzz around this game between a surging Miami Heat and a rock solid Detroit Pistons. Game starts in an 15 minutes - still enough time to read up and get a bet on the game. JJ Black called the opening odds right here on OJ - Pistons opened as 6pt favorites [DonBest]

Don’t expect a high scoring game with this one. The Pistons will grind it out and play a playoff type game just to let the Heat know it’s going to be a LONNGG June. All of Miami’s flaws will be exposed in this one. Shaq or should I say Pat Riley thinks that you can put 7 egos in one room and a winnner just appears WRONG!!!!!

Holiday Bowl: Oregon Ducks vs Oklahoma Sooners

For the first time in their illustrious history, the Oklahoma Sooners are going to play in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in San Diego. OU will collide with the Oregon Ducks, a team it met last year in Norman and will see again in Eugene, Ore., next season. Prediction: The Ducks will definitely play well to prove that the BCS system sucks. BET on OREGON to win at MINUS 3.5 [Sports betting index]

Emerald Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Utah

Playing in its ninth consecutive bowl game, 24th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-4) prepares to face one of the nation’s most prolific offenses as the Yellow Jackets take on Utah Utes (6-5) in the Emerald Bowl, Dec. 29 in San Francisco at SBC Park. Emerald Bowl: Georgia Tech -8.5 vs Utah +8.5

Vince Young hates losing. His Texas Longhorns team went undefeated this season. They are the defending Rose Bowl champions and current Big 12 titlists. But Young suffered his very first lost of the season when all-purpose runner Reggie Bush beat him for the Heisman award. And Young wasn’t happy about it.

Young and his legion of fans expected the Heisman Trophy to land on the Lone Star State. Many will agree.

Basketball has it’s share of very colorful coaches who all has his or her persona on and off the court.

The Los Angeles Lakers, for example, has Phil Jackson, who is known for his calm and collected behavior in every basketball game. It doesn’t matter whether his team is down 20, up 20 or in a close game, he makes it a point to keep his old scrawny ass glued on the chair.

I don’t know if he’s just letting his players play basketball or that he’s just really really lazy.

Of course, Pat Riley is also one of these colorful coaches who stands out in basketball.

Sure it ain’t like Vegas where you’ll have to dig into your pocket to let the good times roll, CASH ONLY and get this, ZERO BONUS. Although you get a free cocktail but better tip that waitress! As little as $1 and less bet is enough to keep that roulette wheel spinning. Still it stays true the saying that you have to risk a lot to win a lot.

Question is, do people really win ten thousand, hundred thousand… no… million dollar jackpots… at online casinos?
