Bowls in Review: 2015-16

This will be the last scheduled post for Sanctimonium, as the blog will now go on hiatus due to my present workload. It's the long overdue review for last year's bowl games! I thought I'd mail this one in before the beginning of the next season. Well, I didn't write the review, unfortunately, but I did update my final season record for 2015. Thank you to everyone who has been a reader and hope you enjoyed your stay. I may post things sporadically but I will not make regular full posts like the last two seasons. Keep watching football and happy Saturdays!
