Did anyone watch the Infamous Idaho Potato Bowl?
Na, me neither. I won’t waste my time on a game featuring two teams that barely won 50 percent of their games during the regular season.
Maybe they should just give everyone a cheap plastic “Participation Trophy,” keep them home and call it good. Maybe give the money each team might get to a worthy military veterans or fallen officer/firefighter charity.
