MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Imagine the Toledo football season as a very large hill.
Call it — I don’t know — Mount Unpleasant.
After spending the first half of the season scaling the mountain, the Rockets reportedly put on two left cleats, took turns spinning around a dizzy bat, and let gravity take it from there.
Mercifully, they reached the bottom Friday, their tumble ending in a 49-7 loss to Central Michigan that was over before Toledo got off the bus.
Rarely will you see a team appear more ready to pack in a season.
