The '''2007-08 NCAA College Football Bowl Games'''<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.ncaasports.com/football/mens/story/10212797 | title=2007-08 Bowl Information | publisher=NCAA | date=[[June 5]] [[2007]] | accessdate=2007-06-16}}</ref> post-season schedule will follow the [[2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season|2007 NCAA Division I FBS regular season]] in [[college football]]. The [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] divided [[Division I]] into two divisions for football in 1978. The top level, originally known as "Division I-A" and officially changed to the "Football Bowl Subdivision" in 2006, includes teams that play in bowl games. The second level, originally known as "Division I-AA" and renamed the "Football Championship Subdivision" in 2006, consists of smaller schools and conferences, most of which play in a playoff system (although a few conferences, such as the [[Ivy League]], choose not to participate in the playoff). The larger schools, who do not have a playoff system, concludes with a series of [[bowl games]] that have developed as a reward for teams that do well in the regular season.

The 2007-08 schedule will serve as large a lineup as the [[NCAA football bowl games, 2006-07|2006-07]] lineup — all as part of a record 38 post-season games (32 not counting the post-BCS all-star games) that were scheduled to start with the [[Poinsettia Bowl]] on [[December 20]], [[2007]]. Thus, 64 schools out of the 119 schools in the Bowl Subdivision will be playing in the post-season, thanks in part to the NCAA's decision to expand schedules to twelve regular season mainland games (not counting games either played in Hawai{{okina}}i or conference championships in the [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]], [[Big 12 Conference|Big 12]], [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]], [[Mid-American Conference|MAC]] or [[Conference USA]]) and allow teams with a 6-6 record to be [[bowl eligible]] if either the team or their conference has negotiated a bowl contract.
'''"The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou"''' is the eleventh episode of season 5 of the [[FOX]] [[animated television series]] ''[[Family Guy]]'' and ninety-first episode overall. It first aired [[February 18]], [[2007]]. The title of this episode is a [[parody]] of the film title ''[[The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou]]''.
 
==Selection of the teams==
==Plot summary==
NCAA bylaws stipulate any team finishing 6-6 can only be selected to fill a conference tie-in bowl slot once all other available conference teams are chosen. For example, in 2006, the [[Big East Conference|Big East]] had six bowl-eligible teams, but only five bowl tie-ins, so 6-6 [[University of Pittsburgh Panthers#Football|Pittsburgh]] was automatically the odd team out. The same rule also applies to at-large bowl selections. With only a pair of at-large bowl positions available and two remaining 7-5 teams, the [[Mid-American Conference|MAC]]'s [[Northern Illinois University|Northern Illinois]]' selection to the [[Poinsettia Bowl]] and the [[Sun Belt Conference|Sun Belt]]'s [[Middle Tennessee State University#Athletics|Middle Tennessee]]'s selection to the [[Motor City Bowl]] meant any remaining 6-6 teams had no chance of playing in a bowl game.

==Non-BCS Bowls==
After [[Peter Griffin|Peter]] takes [[Stewie Griffin|Stewie]] on the [[golf course]] all day with him, Stewie contracts a [[sun tanning|tan]] all over his body. Stewie decides he likes the tan and begins to frequently tan in a [[tanning bed]] in his room. But one day, Stewie tells [[Brian Griffin|Brian]] to wake him up after fifteen minutes of tanning. Brian falls asleep and does not wake up for six hours. Stewie is extremely [[sunburn]]t and he discovers a spot on his stomach. Convinced it is [[skin cancer]], Stewie begins to live out his dying wishes. In the end, Stewie does not have cancer, and he gives up tanning.

*''Game not broadcast in [[ESPNHD|H]][[ESPN2HD|D]]''
Meanwhile, [[Chris Griffin|Chris]] learns that his best customer, [[Herbert (Family Guy)|Herbert]], has made Kyle, a boy who is normally mean to Chris, his new paper boy and he decides to confront Herbert and Kyle. He ends up getting pushed over by Kyle, which angers Peter. Peter goes to talk with Kyle, but after Kyle makes fun of him, Peter beats him up. Kyle's mother agrees not to press charges if Peter apologizes to Kyle, which he reluctantly complies to. Kyle says that he would have done the same thing to Peter and he encourages Peter to bully again. Peter begins to do mean things to the people around him, but after Chris talks to him Peter decides he shouldn't bully everyone, rather he should bully his old school bully, Randy. Peter finds Randy, who is now an insurance agent with [[multiple sclerosis]]. Thinking, by Randy saying "I have MS", that he is bragging that he has a monkey's scrotum, Peter is about to beat up Randy, but is stopped by Chris and he convinces him bullying is wrong.

==Notes==
 
==References==
*A lot of flashback scenes of when Peter was Chris's age are shown. He [Peter] did not have the same kind of chin that Chris does (which is a smaller version of Peter's adult chin) which may lead indicate that Chris is not Peter's son, adding to his naturally blonde hair and short stature.

[[Category:2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season|Bowls]]
*This is the first time in the series that [[Meg Griffin|Meg]] is seen vomiting.
[[Category:Fiesta Bowl]]
 
[[Category:Orange Bowl]]
*Another hint at [[Stewie Griffin|Stewie]]'s homosexuality was when Brian taught him how to [[ballroom dancing|ballroom dance]], leading him to say "I love you" to [[Brian Griffin|Brian]] who says a shocked "What?" and Stewie to cover it up claims he said [[olive|olive juice]]. He then says "Olive Juice you too" (I love you too).
[[Category:Rose Bowl]]
 
[[Category:Sugar Bowl]]
*The previous episode, [[Peter's Two Dads]], depicts Peter discovering that he is actually a McFinnegan and not a Griffin. However in this episode he makes reference to his great-grandfather "Turn-of-the-century-take-on-all-comers ''Griffin''", who looks exactly the same as Peter with the addition of a moustache and slightly different hairstyle.
 
*Since the series inception, Peter has been 42. Stewie mentions this in the season 3 episode [[Brian Does Hollywood]], and this was confirmed in [[Stewie Loves Lois]] by Dr. Hartman. When Lois is talking to Peter in the tree, she says "You're 43 years old", indicating that Peter has aged.
 
*[[Kermit the Frog]] appears in this episode for the fourth time this season (the previous being in "[[Stewie Loves Lois]]", "[[Deep Throats]]" and "[[Mother Tucker]]").
 
*Despite Stewie seemingly lying on his "death bed", killing Lois is not one of his final wishes, although it's doubtful Brian would have complied with this request. This further adds to Stewie's recent tolerance of Lois (although he recently tried to kill her in [[The Courtship of Stewie's Father]], he has paid relatively little attention to either disposing of her or ruling the world).
 
*Stewie's wistful ode to the "squiggly line" in his eye is actually a fairly accurate description of what is known as a [[Floater]], a deposit within the eyeball's normally transparent [[vitreous humour]].
 
*[[Michael Clark Duncan]] who did a voice in this episode also worked with [[Mila Kunis]] in the video game [[Saint's Row]], both were actually part of the same gang in the game.
 
==Censorship==
 
*An entire cutaway involving Stewie trying to sleep amid the erotic moans and screams of a couple having sex is cut from the FOX airing, but left in the Adult Swim airing.
*When Brian squirts the lotion on a severely sunburned Stewie and Mr. Furley walks in (and thinks Brian is ejaculating on Stewie), Brian originally says, "Oh! Uh, hi, Mr. Furley. This isn't what it looks like!" before Mr. Furley says, "Never mind, I'll come back later!" and leaves. The "This isn't what it looks like" line is cut from the Fox version to make it less obvious that it is an ejaculation joke.
 
==Cultural references==
*The scene in which Stewie visits the [[Art Institute of Chicago]] (erroneously referred to as the [[Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art|Chicago Museum of Art]]) is a direct homage to the movie ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]''. The painting Stewie stares into is ''[[Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte]]''. The song accompanying this segment is the original from the film, and is a cover of the acoustic version of the song by [[The Dream Academy]] of "[[Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want]]" by [[The Smiths]].
*[[Ralph Furley|Mr. Furley]], the landlord portrayed by [[Don Knotts]] on ''[[Three's Company]]'', walks in on [[Brian Griffin|Brian]] applying the lotion to Stewie in a (due to the camera angle) manner as though Brian was [[ejaculating]] in Stewie's face.
*Parodying ''[[Gremlins]]'', Peter feeds a [[mogwai]] a drumstick after midnight, causing it to turn into [[Fran Drescher]], whose head Peter then microwaves. [[Fran Drescher]] was last seen in the episode "[[Fifteen Minutes Of Shame]]".
*Peter, behaving like a bully, dangles Joe from his shoulders with rope and performs ''[[The Lonely Goatherd]]'' from ''[[The Sound of Music]]'', using Joe as a [[marionette]].
*Brian is given a copy of a movie that "is essentially ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]'' from the point of view of the horses" where one of the horses peeked inside the tent and learned their relationships the 'hard way'[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ77WuN2w2A].
*[[Martin Landau]]'s distinct speech pattern is parodied after Stewie is disgusted with [[Lois Griffin|Lois]]' saliva being used to wipe off his [[fake moustache]].
*After getting tanned, Stewie says he resembles a young [[Eartha Kitt]] and then impersonates her trademark feline drawl and the statements she made about the [[Vietnam War]] to President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]].
*Stewie sings ''[[Kokomo (song)|Kokomo]]'' by [[The Beach Boys]] in his tanning bed. Similarly, when he is tanning in the garden, the song he is listening to is an instrumental version of "[[I Say a Little Prayer]]" by [[Dionne Warwick]].
*The song Brian and Stewie [[ballroom dance]] to is an instrumental version of ''[[Cheek to Cheek]]'' by [[Irving Berlin]] (first featured in the film ''[[Top Hat]]'', also featured as an important plot point in ''[[The Green Mile]]'').
[[Image:Fgmuppetcameo.png|left|thumb|Kermit, Fozzie, and Swedish Chef at the end of the episode.]]
*When Herbert says his phone is ringing, he imitates the [[Nokia tune]].
*When Brian advises Stewie to "wait and see" whether or not he has cancer, Stewie says "[[Jim Henson]] had a wait and see attitude, and look what happened to him. Now we've got wrong-sounding [[Muppets]]," a reference to Henson's failure to properly address a cold he had, which led to [[pneumonia]], and ultimately his death in [[1990]]. The scene then cuts to [[Kermit the Frog]] and the [[Swedish Chef]] (two characters Henson voiced) in a dialogue sequence, with much different voice tones. The two would later appear at the end of the show, discussing the preceding events, when [[Fozzie Bear]] walks in, and says in a deep voice (supplied by actor [[Michael Clark Duncan]]): "Wocka wocka. Who wants to hear a funny-ass joke?" Unlike Kermit and the Chef, Fozzie would not fall into the category in real life, as he was voiced by [[Frank Oz]], who is still alive today. It should be noted this gag could also refer to [[The Walt Disney Company]]'s decision to have the Muppets be performed by different puppeteers rather than their usual ones outside of the movies.
*[[Dick Cheney]] is portrayed as a [[Wal-Mart]] greeter in a cutaway. He greets each customer with "Go fuck yourself," a reference to a 2004 incident where he said those words to [[Senator]] [[Patrick Leahy]](D-VT) after he asked the [[Vice-president]] about [[Halliburton]]'s alleged [[war profiteering]].
*During his tan party, Stewie wears the kind of shades that are the trademark of movie producer [[Robert Evans (film producer)|Robert Evans]].
*This episode's title is a reference to ''[[The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou]]''. This is the second Fox series to reference that movie in a title in 2007, the first being a ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode, [[The Wife Aquatic]], which aired on January 7.
*After getting off his beach chair during a tan, Stewie drinks a can of [[Tab (soft drink)|TaB]], then slowly looks at the camera – a parody of TaB commercials in the 80's.
*[[Britney Spears]]' parenting skills are questioned in a scene where she is holding her baby while talking on a phone, using his head for an ashtray and then dropping him.
*There is a dispute between Peter and Lois in regards to how different [[LEGO]] is from [[Mega Bloks]].
*A parody of [[Kellogg's]] [[Frosted Flakes]]' [[Tony the Tiger]] called Terry the Tiger is seen in the Griffin kitchen, saying "They'rrrrrrrrrre foooood!"
