There is a song called “Joy,” performed by pianist George Winston, which I can credit in part with the beginning of my true writing life.

Conference title hopes, playoff implications and the opportunity to make another statement in a road game are all riding on the fourth-ranked Argos’ 1 p.m. showdown with the No. 21 Tigers in Livingston, Alabama.
