Among other "years" that it's been, this has been the year of college football whining, with bowls being the latest topic.
OK, folks, yet again, college football's bowl games set an attendance record. And we're not talking about the BCS games.
The mouthings of Lough.

Don't be surprised in NFL playoffs
People never learn. Clearly. Just talk to most of 'em, and learning is just not there.
A few weeks ago, Falcons folks went loopy because ESPN's Trent Dilfer said the Saints could win in Atlanta.
Now, why that was a shocking statement is befuddling. It wasn't shocking, it was objective and based on Dilfer's experience and of probably some film work.
One needn't have NFL experience and access to video to know it was true and possible, one need only have a clue, some three-digit IQ moments and some common sense.
New Orleans was the defending Super Bowl champ. Atlanta didn't make the playoffs last season. The Saints had earlier struggles but seemed to be righting the ship. The Falcons had a great record, but were anything but dominant or exceptionally convincing.
