To bowl or not to bowl?
It's not necessarily the question facing interim head coach Kurt Roper and the Colorado Buffaloes football team that is dragging its way to Berkeley for the merciful conclusion of the 2018 regular season. Surely the Buffs want to win, and post that elusive victory that will finally attain bowl eligibility — a hurdle that has proven maddeningly unattainable over the course of nine consecutive opportunities.
The question is whether attaining that sixth win after a 5-0 start, and securing a date in some far-flung corner of the 2018 bowl season like the Cheez-It Bowl, is worth the time and effort for a team in the midst of a coaching transition.
