There it was. The Motor City Bowl was on and I was glued to my TV hoping that Central Michigan of the Mid-American Conference would manage just one more score. After they did and it was all tied up, I continued to watch as Purdue of the Big Ten drove for one last time and won on a late field goal. The following day it was Texas -vs- Arizona State and then I couldn’t wait until the next day when Maryland was due to play Oregon State and two other games were to take place.
I have no loyalty to any of these teams. I don’t even follow very many of their conferences. Yet here I was following all the results and enjoying all the trappings of the yearly bowl season.
