New Year Thoughts
/While watching Bowl Games on New Year’s Day, and perusing the web, I had a thought or two as we enter a new year and the 150th year of college football (of which I have been a fan for 47 years)…
There is no better bowl game than the Rose Bowl - especially when it is the original “Pac-12/Big Ten matchup)
Shame on Georgia, a team with a bright future, if they were disappointed to not be included in the playoff
Originally when the playoff was being discussed, I was for an eight team field, but I am now firmly in the camp of keeping it at four as every week during the regular season can be an eliminator game
You can’t tell me that the non-playoff games have no meaning - especially after seeing Iowa/Mississippi State, LSU/UCF, Ohio State/Washington, and Texas/Georgia
No matter how well a live mascot is trained or restrained - their behavior is still unpredictable and VERY exciting for the game
Lastly, we are only two days into the new year, and we have already lost two great people in college football - Team captain and Purdue super fan Tyler Trent and Johns Hopkins great head coach Jim Margraff. They will be missed!
