College Football’s 2018 Bowl Games are here!
The road to a National Championship has been paved with all the twists and turns you might expect. The 2018 college football season has been a thrill ride worthy of all the hype.
The November elections are over and the results are in the books…finally. Some races were close, others, well, not so much. Kind of sounds like any given Saturday during college football season doesn’t it? And now here we are in December, the regular season has concluded and the Bowl Season is upon us. If you’re a Clemson, Notre Dame or an Alabama fan then your eyes are on the prize. If you’re a Florida State fan you probably feel like a fish out of water. FSU’s 36 year streak of consecutive bowl game appearances has sadly come to an end. If you’re a Michigan fan, ouch, that’s about all we can say there…Ouch.
Each and every team has a story to tell, some happy, some still hopeful, some left shaking their heads. That’s how the ball bounces as the saying goes. So these December Bowl games, well they give us one more hoorah. It’s as if our team has gotten one more chance at redemption or maybe one more chance to say, “I told you so.” Yes, 2018 has been a thrilling roller coaster ride for all and it’s not over yet…
