Craig:
I notice you coyly employed the preposition “toward” (i.e., “in the general direction of,” as in “7-5 in the regular season plus a loss to Louisville in the Liberty Bowl”) where a more confident college football fan would have used the preposition “to” (i.e., “en route to a definitive target,” as in “12-0 in the regular season plus a win over Alabama in a BCS Bowl”). Clearly, you’re a Spartan fan. Both your deft use of language and muted football hopes give you away.
