The exquisite pain that changed my life: How college football turned me into a lifelong traveler - CNN
No one element of my life has required such consistent spontaneity (and solvency) as the College Football Bowl schedule.
The appeal is sometimes a mystery. There's the annual displeasure, every December, of not knowing where you'll be going in the next few weeks. Of having to book multiple hotel rooms across several different cities, of having to track multiple flights, just in case.
And then there are the disappointments of defeat. One after another.
I did not go to a "football school." Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, has always been in the shadow of more sports-focused colleges like Ohio State, Notre Dame and Alabama.
