I am so glad the Huskies are playing in the Meineke Car Care Charlotte. I know, a BCS bid is what UConn fans really wanted. But one step at a time. West Virginia may win the National Championship this year and proved in the second half Saturday that the Huskies are still at least a year away from winning the Big East.



But for me the Meineke Car Care Bowl could not have worked out any better. My sister and her family as well as my dad all now live in the Charlotte area. So my wife and I decided today to pack up the mini van after Christmas and drive to Charlotte to see my family and the Huskies. Here is to hoping I don't need a new Meineke muffler on the way down or back.
