2001: A SPACE (ON THE COUCH) ODYSSEY _ As much a part of New Year's Day as aspirin, black-eyed peas and feeling uglier than Don Zimmer, a January Junkie's journal covering six college football games and 12 hours of pigskin paradise.

In other words, welcome to the ultimate Bowlzzz Dayze.

9 a.m.: On the way to the BCS _ Bowl Central Station _ it's amusing to see all the cars in the ditch and WHOA!! ...

9:01 a.m.: Almost joined them. The first white New Year's since Joe Montana out-dueled Danny Davis is as dangerous as it is attractive.

9:50 a.m.: Two picture-in-picture TVs, check. Three remote controls, check. Two pizzas, cash.

10 a.m.: Just love the Cotton Bowl _ the tradition, the drama, the field. The Field?! Too bad Kansas State-Tennessee had to play in a vacant pasture off I-30. It stopped snowing 16 hours ago, and this field is embarrassing. Pass the hat, the Cotton Bowl needs a tarp.

10:17 a.m.: Burp.
