MONTGOMERY, AL. — It was Saturday morning — still nine hours before the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl is set for its afternoon kickoff — when I discovered the cold snap from the night before had taken its toll on my car battery.
I cranked up my Toyota Prius and heard nothing but silence. Fortunately, with everything regarding the game between Appalachian State and Ohio University in close proximity, this is a problem that can be left for another day — as in Sunday, when the bowl activities come to an end.
