If a former Bulldog is playing, great, that’s worth a little watching. Otherwise the lowest-tier college bowl game takes winter viewing precedence here over any professional contest. But I do keep an eye on the Super Bowl, especially if Cathy his hosting neighbors. And I do want MSU alums to hold up that trophy if possible. In that sense yesterday disappointed, and boy is Chris Jones ever that with the officiating. Also hints Martinas Rankin would get a start due to another’s injury did not come to pass.
