World Cup may not be a good idea for an office pool, though I’m sure some have tried. That’s the trouble with these summer sports. They aren’t conducive to office pools. And we know how important those are.

I’m admittedly looking forward to football already. I mean the preview issues are out in full force. Have been since January. The college World Series is over already. I know that because I heard the last clink of the bat last night on the news. Aluminum bats. They’re just so wrong. It’s like having fur on a football. I do wish I could have joined my good friend, Gene, in Omaha for the Series though. That would have been fun. Maybe someday I’ll do that as long as I don’t have to wear Red. But then again, if I don’t wear Red they know you’re not from Nebraska and well, it all seems so stressful. I think I’ll head out to find some football previews now. If I can find one without Nebraska on the cover.

(PS. Gene, you know I’m kidding!)
