Hello Pac-12 After Darkness, My Old Friend
Like any great, late college football match-up involving a Pac-12 team, last night/this morning’s Washington State-Boise State battle went well beyond the bounds of acceptable football watching time, with triple overtime wrapping up after 2:30 a.m. on the east coast.
