No “C” in the BS. Yet again college football’s post-season shenanigans have been proven a fraud. There are no two best teams this campaign. Period. But lots of contendas. Play it off.

Grannie’s advice, Part Deux. Deja vu. Contemplating the performance of the Cardinal pigskinners, I’m compelled to heed Grannie again. If you can’t say something nice, etc., etc. … U of L’s sad season is essentially over. It is time to move on, except for …
