I've gotten a dozen or so emails about XM covering the college bowl games (and another dozen asking about the USC cheerleader). Sorry I didn't get to it, it's been mayhem the past few days.

Anyway, enough crying. XM's coverage began yesterday (that's December 21st) at 8pm ET on XM Channel 193 when the University of Texas at El Paso took on the University of Toledo (Toledo won) and will continue through the January 4 BCS National Championship contest between the University of Texas Longhorns (hook em horns!) and the defending national champion University of Southern California Trojans in The Rose Bowl at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN Radio (XM Channel 140).

XM will carry all four of the 2006 BCS games from January 2 through January 4 -- the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Nokia Sugar Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl, and Rose Bowl -- on ESPN Radio.

Get the whole schedule after the jump...
