The FBC Mortgage Cure bowl is exhibit A for why I shake my head when people say there are too many bowl games. Is it meaningless? Yes. Is it two teams few people care about? Yes. But is it entertaining? Absolutely. I’m enjoying the hell out of this finish.

ESPN’s win probability. What a roller coaster.

I poked in on a U of A fan forum (Bear Down Wildcats). I've never seen that sort of reaction to a coaching hire. Fisch is stepping into a job where pretty much 100% of the hard core fan base (I figure that's who posts on fan forums) hate the hire. A lot of fans are vowing to step away, cancel...

The average daily high for Dec 12 (the weekend of game 8) is 27.8 degrees. If they play the last home game on Dec 5, it is 30.4. Not exactly balmy but not the arctic tundra either. With all the gear and equipment to combat cold weather, the team will be fine playing at TCF, IMO.

Ugh. This sucks. So they are cutting track and field but not cross country? Good luck recruiting runners to run a single season when they can go anywhere else and compete year round.

They have pretty good at skewering Tennessee in the past. This from last year, is one of my favorites:

Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio St., Wisconsin and Penn St. When was the last time Nebraska had a winless season? Edit to add: It doesn't look like it has ever happened.
