bowl

Consider the rest that’s at stake Saturday, with USC’s hopes of bowl eligibility hanging by a thread, and you might wonder if that weight would be too much to shoulder for a young quarterback still finding his way.

The football team has qualified for bowl games in three consecutive seasons and is surging toward a possible fourth consecutive berth under new coach DeShaun Foster, the biggest hire of Jarmond’s four and a half years on the job.

He talked about the Dust Bowl and its reach throughout the Midwest, where we are both from.

That said, there’s guaranteed to be a lot of buildup when the Chargers play host to Baltimore the following week for the third edition of the Harbaugh Bowl between Jim and his brother, John, coach of the Ravens.

They are 1-1 against each other with John owning the big prize, a Super Bowl win over Jim’s San Francisco 49ers.
