Gents -

  The Birmingham Bowl is upon us!  The mighty ECU Fighting AAAARRRRS versus the Florida Gators.  I'm sure this would generally generate little interest, except there's no other football to watch and there will (hopefully) be an announcement soon after the game's conclusion that Michigan will be picking up a new DC, DJ "Dirty" Durkin.
