Hell, driving back from the Harvard-Lehigh football game on Saturday night, the radio announcement of my hometown Colorado Buffaloes upsetting Oklahoma made me realize just how much I was missing while tucked away in the New England obscurity that is Division I-AA, non-postseason eligible football...
