Game #4 : The Beef


St. Petersburg, the host city for the
Beef O'Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl, has,
over the ensuing years,
compromised none of the excitement
promised by this c.1940's postcard.

Florida International -4 v Marshall
The Beef O'Brady's Bowl, St. Petersburg, Flahriddah
Tuesday @ 7:00 on ESPN
Florida International (8-4) travels up from Miami to square off with Marshall (6-6).  Neither team offers a distinguished resume, and I'm taking the chalk and giving the points.  FIU started at -5, maybe a warning?  I've had trouble reading Marshall for years, so I'm hoping that FIU just takes care of business here.

Word of the day, courtesy of Mr. GunN : consubstantial.  To allay your trepidation, click here for elucidation.

Update
Don't know what the final is going to be, but with 4 minutes to play, FIU looks like history.  The game turned when Marshall scored on a long TD to end the first half.  FIU wasn't the same afterward, and they've looked inept in the second half.  We are off to a pretty poor start, 1-3.
