Nose to Tail Bowl Digest, Part 4: The Maaco Bowl Las Vegas- Boise St. Vs. Arizona St.

MAACO Bowl Las Vegas	Dec. 22	8 p.m.	Las Vegas	ESPN
Boise State vs. Arizona State

This is the bowl for the 99%, for Boise at least, as a one-loss team finds itself playing a 6-6 AQ team before Christmas in a bowl no one has ever heard of. Expect for noses to be firmly out of joint. Boise beat a Georgia team that turned out to be pretty good, and then retreated to the cozy precincts of the Mountain West, fattening up on Colorado States until aspirating a pinbone against TCU in November. Boise is responsible for the single most entertaining bowl ever, when they beat Oklahoma a few years back via trickeration while the Cod, cinetrix, and the JazzLunatique were goosed on absinthe.

However, the meat link for this game comes from the Sun Devil side of the bracket. Vontaze Burfict may be the most entertaining player in college football, if you find violent hits and personal fouls entertaining. A nice boudin noir* from Butcher Larder in the Cod's old stomping grounds is just the thing. Matches the ASU uniforms, plus, BLOOD. 

*AKA blood sausage, or "Christmas sausage," if you are Estonian.
