Severely curtailed update

This is going to be a severely abbreviated version of the blog.  I meant to write a lot more, but we had to take our cat to the hospital, so my evening was tied up in the waiting room.  I’ll be back tomorrow night with more thorough analysis.

OK.  No witty or pithy commentary tonight.  It’s really late, I feel like a cold may be coming on and our beloved family pet is spending the night in the hospital so I’m not really up for a deep dive into college bowl games just right now.  I do think that tomorrow’s WMU game is a make or break one for me, since I put 39 points on the Broncos.  Yikes!!!!
