2013 Heart Of Dallas Bowl: First Game Thread Of The New Year

The Boilers put a coda on the 2012 season by taking on the Cowboys in Dallas.

The bowl game is finally here. The transition from Danny Hope to Darrell Hazell has its final step today as Kawann Short, Robert Marve, Josh Johnson, Akeem Shavers, and the other seniors get a final hurrah with a New Year's Day Bowl game against a very good offense.

Bowl games should be fun, and I think this one will be no different. I expect a ton of offense today and with nothing to lose, I want to see Patrick Higgins open up the offense and have some fun. Marve deserves to go out guns blazing much like how Robbie Hummel did in the first half against Kansas back in March.

So let's settle in. I couldn't make it to Dallas for this one because Mrs. T-Mill could not get the time off to travel, but I have a nice, comfortable spot on my couch. We're on ESPNU for all who are looking. It's time to start the new year right!
