Yes, There’s college football’s Final Three; Yet there’s also a nice list of games leading into them
By David J. Halberstam 12/16/2022
There are quite a few events that lead to the NCAA Football College Final Three. They will be visible from this Friday, December 16th with the Bahamas Bowl through January 10th when the seasonal winner will be crowned.
Kirk Herbstreit is lacking (hilariously) for work so he’ll join Dave Pasch at the Las Vegas Bowl in Vegas.
Anish Shroff is moving up in sportscasting too. He is now also the Panthers play-by-player. He has more ESPN Bowl assignments, two on TV and one on radio, a sign he’s liked I would suspect.
Glad that Dave Neal is doing the Frisco Bowl. He gives it his all. His dad is Bob Neal, a longtime Turner NBA, play-by-player.
