Looking at the paper this morning, I saw tons of Black Friday style sales.  The problem of course is that Xmas was yesterday.  Stores are using the day after Xmas to try and salvage what was for most, one of the worst holiday shopping seasons on record.  Doing the Black Friday thing is one thing, but bringing back liquidation style events for after the holidays on anything other than holiday themed items is a bad idea.  Hopefully this will be a one time thing, because if stores start training customers to wait until after the holidays to shop, customers will catch on and this won’t be the only year of piss poor holiday sales.  Thankfully, I haven’t seen the online stores jumping on the bandwagon with this doomed for failure idea.

On another note, I’m up to 3-4 on my Bowl Picks as the Golden Domers really did a number on Hawaii.  Tonight is really a coin flip since I don’t know a thing about either team, so I’m going with Central Michigan -7 over Florida Atlantic in the Motor City Bowl.
