If your school's bandwagon needs a driver, chances are I'm available.

With the start of the college football bowl season Saturday, I became the kind of fan I despise.

It was even more important to me to fare well this year in bowls after a horrendous effort last year - 10-22 or something like that. It was absolutely awful.
