Just once, I'd like to see EVPN do a two hour special on the problems of college athletics and see Lou Holtz, Mark may, and Herbstreit sitting their and open with "we are the problem with college athletics", and then have 1 hour 59 minutes and 55 seconds of empty screen and that would be a great show. AS it was ramping up it was nice, EVPN would televise some extra games. Dating myself but when I was a kid you had the same 15 games on ABC every year...OSU/Michigan, Oklahoma/Nebraska, USC/UCLa, USC/Notre Dame, Penn State/Pitt, Auburn/Alabama and a few out of conference big matchups and that was it. You could count the number of times you saw Washington play in between the Sonny Sixkiller/Warrren Moon eras on your fist (http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/si_o...1004_large.jpg). You saw more of Steve Prefontaine's hair on TV than Oregon Duck football. Oregon football is now perhaps the most corrupt of all. Living in Idaho, the blue turf people seems like the meek rising and all that cool story crap, but stuff is now starting to come out about those guys and that program slowly but surely, Oh my God! With EVPN televising games every single day of the week but Monday, I will likely have the opportunity to see NOrthern Illinois or Southern Miss more this year than I saw of Oregon combined for 25 years.

Wait, Digger Phelps got a new high liter....uh oh. Where's Jay Bilas on that scoop?

snort!!!!




That was mighty fine work...and so true.

Don't feel bad about dating yourself; I took me out last Saturday night,found out I'm not that much fun.

Anyways,it is out of control especially with that network.Beyond other things, it's so over hyped I can't understand why it hasn't eaten itself.They have taken the fun out of it.



Soon,cfb will have only 3 conferences...maybe just two.There will be at least 25 teams in each conference and they'll have 4 divisions and a play off at regular season's end....probably involving 20 teams.That's the 4 division winners and 16 wild cards.Then ,in a very complicated system,they will select conference pre and post season champs,some division winners and select wild cards to play in the Globalist BCS.The selection process for the bowls will be tv'd on a pay per view basis and will be 36 hours long.

In response to Trevor Crowe asking what there was to do in Columbus, Chris Perez simply suggested he "get tattoos."



Gold.

(he doesn't always close well, but he's very funny!!)

I have always said...if you can't do your job properly,at least be funny.



That's why I like all politicians.

Asdrubal Cabrera hits a two run homer in the top of the 3rd, leaves the game with an injury in the bottom of the 3rd. Very nice. Maybe we'll get even more Valbuena now!! (but first of course, more Dopey Phelps!)

Oh...the ''V" word.
