BOWLING GREEN — Some successful creations are constructed overnight, like a Spirit Halloween store or Indiana football.
Other builds take a little longer.
For instance, Rome or the Egyptian pyramids or … Bowling Green as a Mid-American Conference championship contender.
All that ultimately matters is the job is done well.
The Falcons may have taken a few back roads on the long way to Tuesday night, but let us appreciate them just the same.
They are no longer coming.
In the sense that they are playing meaningful November football — and look tough and talented enough to check their most ambitious boxes — they have arrived.
