Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

CBS Sportscaster Ranks Cure Bowl #1 As Far As Entertainment in 2021 (Coastal Carolina vs. Northern Illinois)

From the January 6, 2021, CBS Sports "Ranking the 37 college football games for 2021-2022:  Rose delivers as Orange, Cotton disappoint" by Tom Fornelli.

Evidently this guy watched all the bowl games and I have to say his picking the Cure Bowl game in Orlando, Florida, as the best of the lot is one I have to agree with.  It matched Northern Illinois versus Coastal Carolina and was the second bowl game player (read most meaningless), but not so with this one.

Coastal Carolina was a 12 1/2 point favorite, but Northern led the whole game until the last six minutes, when Coastal went up and "held" on to win.

This is what Tom Fornelli wrote:

"#1  Cure Bowl    Coastal Carolina 47  Northern Illinois 41

And so we come to the best bowl game of the postseason.  I'm assuming a lot of you are perplexed about how the Cure Bowl can rank ahead of the Rose Bowl or Music City Bowl, but that's just because most of you probably didn't watch it.

"You should have because the second bowl game of the season was incredible.  Not only was there a bunch of points scored, but it was a one-score game the entire time."
