Five of the best years of my life were spent in Bloomington. I have a master's degree and Ph.D. from the extraordinary university that is the heartbeat of that beloved community.

There's a backstory: I used to have a team. As a Baltimore native, when the Ravens came to our city in 1996, I was all in. After buying tons of black and purple, winning two Super Bowls, and then white knuckling through the lackluster seasons that followed, I decided to set a boundary for my own sanity.

Another round of NFL playoff action has wrapped and we are officially down to a final four: One of these teams is going to win the Super Bowl, but all of them are going to be regarded in high esteem with having reached their conference championship games.
