It wouldn't be right if
I didn't rant right before
Christmas, now would it...and there are a lot of things that may need mentioning...like the
Republicans in the House who begrudgingly passed the tax break for all
Americans so they could go home for the Holiday...or wait, their speaker has it done, yet they haven't done so...or the
K family that continues to flood the market with such deplorable items that you have to say
"I can't take it anymore"...or anymore lip syncing pseudo
Xmas songs by your fav,
Justin Bieber...or the over the top, ridiculous production of
the X Factor...
or Newt or Mitt or Perry or Michelle or Ronnie...naw, I must stay in the field of football...the
Maaco Bowl in Las Vegas...
The Good...
the Boise State Broncos...ranked 7th in the last
BSBCS poll...yet are delegated to
the awful Maaco Bowl at Sam Boyd Stadium in LV...sporting a 13-1 record...and arguably
the top QB in the land,
Kellen Moore...his stats over his 4 years are awesome...and they win big games...
albeit, the Ducks twice...which gets my nod for sure...just ask most of the Pac -12 how well they do on that issue...
lambasted their opponent, ASU, 56-24...in the lopsided mess of a football game...
The Bad...
the BSBCS...as the
Bowl Football Association makes a mockery of the collegiate game...if you want a large charge, go onto their website and look at the propaganda they put out...as most colleges
LOSE money in these 35 bowl games...
the coaches do not...oops, but true...almost all
the bosses have a monetary clause (Santa?) in their contracts if they qualify for one of these bowls...and it is tiered...the bigger the bowl, the more cash they get...and, don't get me into the
"donations to charity" crap...
HBO did an expose on that and it's deplorable...oh, by the way, the other winner is....drum roll please...
ESPN...and that's where the money is...but the schools don't get that...
boooooooooooooooo....
The Ugly...the mess at
Arizona State University...so the football team isn't winning enough...hey, they got a nod for
the Maaco, didn't they?...so it was a mere 6-7 record...but, like
BSU,
got $1.1 mill...before they have to minus all the expenses...wait, that $ goes to the conferences...oh well...let's get back to the program...they feel that
Dennis Erickson wasn't the savior...geez, he was heralded as that
a few years back...and they hire this bloke that has been at 4 schools in the last 6 years...who philosophizes honor, integrity, and loyalty to the school he is at...just ask
Pitt how that went in his one year there at the helm...I digress...selfishly I want them to stay bad, as this helps
the Ducks out...no problem...this program is spiraling
down, down, down...
And don't hate me...but
the temp is rising to 74* for
Christmas here...
