Around the Country

Texas rolled against Michigan State in a battle of Top Ten teams last night. Christmas will give us a couple of days away from the hardwood, with West Virginia and Seton Hall starting off the Big East season on Saturday. The Hawaii Bowl is tomorrow night, though Nevada and Southern Methodist don't make that great a matchup. Saturday presents two schools Irish fans love to hate, SC and Boston College, in the ever-prestigious Emerald Bowl. Should make for something decent to play in the background at your holiday parties.
