Who’s playing Wednesday? Wednesday night? Western Kentucky vs. Central Michigan? Where? Who cares? What time? 7:30 p.m.? OK, kid, get that abysmal abomination Austin & ‘n’ Ally off the TV, get your teeth brushed and get to bed so Daddy can get a hit.
Ah yes, I remember well those halcyon days for Florida International University football, back when the young program was rising, winning, going to consecutive bowl games. Back when Mario Cristobal, home-grown hero, was The Hot Young Coach coveted by others but loyal to the city he loved.
