The NFL heats up, Hoopla, and the College Football Withdrawal

    The Drive:
        Well, I’m going back to the “add one” deal that so many coaches, including Frank Beamer, advocate for the postseason in college football. Why can’t we play all the major bowls between the first and third, then have the the top two WINNERS play on the tenth?  Why can’t TCU play Auburn now? That would be another war. But that would answer all of our questions, now wouldn’t it?  That is more likely to happen, then any playoff. Bottom line, the Bowl Structure will stay in place until somebody can prove they can make more money for the NCAA the other way. Maybe Mark Cuban can get it done….hahaha!

    The Fairway:
        I’m not a huge NFL fan anymore, like I was when I was a kid, but I still really do enjoy the game at its core. Its core..happens this weekend when the Ravens play the Steelers….again. That’s a throwback game to my youth. When the Steelers played teams like the Raiders, or the the Oilers! Those were the days….. Anyway, those two teams battle each other. Physical. Tough. The tougher team wins…plain and simple.

    The Green:
        Last night I watched unranked Florida State take down #1 Duke and I realized there are no real “powerhouses” in college basketball anymore…cause all the best players keep leaving for the NBA a year or two in. So what you have is talented young squads, who may catch fire and begin to mature at the end of the year, enough to run the table—-and other mid-majors—where the good players stay four years, cause they aren’t all McDonald’s All-American’s…trying to topple superior talent with experience and teamwork. I am not saying it is better or worse, just different these days.

  The Jar:
        For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
