The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Sweet mercy, last night's Purdue-Central Michigan game (the Motor City Bowl) was fun! Made ever more so by the histrionics (just short of gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes) of my father, an alumnus of both schools: Purdue is his alma mater, but years later, while still working full-time, he got his master's degree through C.M.U.'s night school program. I sense another defeat-laden bowl season for the glorious Big Ten, but by Jove if we go down we'll go down swinging!
