I think this sky show was for the new year last night at The Landing, but for me, hey, we’re going to play this game now! It’s the farewell for pugilistic Coach Bobby Bowden.

“You know, I guess I’m like all older folks, just like the older boxers who think you’ve got one more fight,” Bowden said. “You think, ‘If I got it one more time, I could do it.’ That’s kind of the way I always felt, yet it didn’t happen. It didn’t happen last year. It didn’t happen this year.”

Quarterback E.J. Manuel will make his fourth career start for the Seminoles — true story: When I got to FSU practice the other day, I was looking for Manuel and saw him, but thought, ‘Nah, that guy’s a tight end or a linebacker … wait, No. 3? Really?’ — and WVU will try not to make a mess of punts and kickoff against one of the nation’s very best. Boots Randolph is queued up, I’m sure.

In the meantime, Happy New Year. Good luck juggling your WVU events today. Huge game in West Lafeyette, Ind.
