Bowl eligible

I love it when the Marshall football and basketball teams to do well. I love working in a city of winners. I love all those "Go Herd" and "Congratulation Herd" ads.

But let us take a moment to note that there are two Division I-A teams in Ohio that are bowl eligible. One, of course, is Ohio State. The other is my own Ohio University. Yes, the Bobcats are 6-3. One more win in their final three games guarantees a winning regular season. Who knows, they might even do well enough to face a Conference USA team in a bowl. And that C-USA team could be. . .

Go Bobcats.

By the way, Wake Forest is bowl-eligible, too, but they'll probably go to a BCS bowl. Wake Forest is where former Ohio coach Jim Grobe landed, you know.
