Time for bowl season….Independence Bowl: Louisiana Tech vs. Miami at 4 on ESPN and then the Quick Lane Bowl: Pittsburgh at Eastern Michigan at 8 on ESPN. And there’s the normal NBA schedule to fake care about. Did anyone watch the Lakers miss like 30 three-pointers in the final five minutes of that game last night? It was like they would be shot on sight if they took an easy basket. Whatever. Hoist those shots fellas. There’s also a bunch of soccer on NBCSN for the soccer nerd in your family.
