Have you got Friday off and the willingness to travel to Detroit to support local college ball? The Northwestern Wildcats are in their fourth Bowl appearance in nine years, and are still looking for postseason win #1 (not counting that fluke in '49). With a 6-6 record and a seventh place finish in the Big Ten, the 'Cats earned the privilege of playing Bowling Green in the Motor City Bowl. B.G., by the way, was 10-3 this season and ranked 24th on the BCS chart. Tickets are still available.
