BCS Bye-Bye!!!!

Honestly, I think I’m going to miss the BCS. It’s been terrific cartoon fodder for years. But I am glad we are moving into a playoff system that I’m hoping and confident will eventually expand to 8 or 16 teams. It would make every bowl interesting to watch and make the NCAA oodles of money, which, of course, they love!

I actually watched a fair amount of Bowl games this year, and, I have to admit, really enjoyed them. A few quick observations and annoyances for me however:

1. For the Love of God, will they please stop with the clown outfits for Bowl games. It’s football, not dancing with the stars! Vince Lombardi would be mortified to see what passes for a football uniform these days.

2. Can we just get back to some kind of decent naming system for bowls so we can at least tell what part of the country the game is hosted in? The Bazooka Bubble Gum Bowl does nothing to help me know where the heck it is played! Please, can we just go back to Fruits and Vegetable names with an occasional seasonal reference like “Sun” or “Holiday” thrown in for good measure!

3. And stop naming them after foods like “Tostitos”. It makes the New Years Resolutions that much harder to keep!

4. Stop stringing the Bowl season out for 40 days and 40 nights unless Noah is involved. It’s annoying to still be watching Ball State play in the Go Daddy Bowl on the 5th of January! Stop it I say!

5. I want to watch bands at halftime. Great marching bands like Stanford and Cal and not those lousy stinking singers like Dierks Bently, who couldn’t sing their way out of a paper bag! We get enough of those people on American Idol already. And puhleeze, can we send those talking heads at halftime back to where they belong: hosting a radio sports talk show, on a station with a REALLY weak signal!

6. Speaking of talking heads, isn’t it time to send Lou Holtz to the Smithsonian about now? He’s old. He’s boring. He’s clueless. And he drives me nuts. Put him out to pasture! Now!

7. If they are going to have sideline reporters and they are all going to be women than I think it’s time to give Kate Upton a chance. Just saying.

    wow when the quiet man starts to vent you better be wary. You have not spewed this much venom in a long time. I only watched about 4 of the bowl games. and even then just parts of each of them. Got to see CSU win the New Mexico bowl, fell asleep in the third quarter of the husker game against georgia until the announcers started screaming about a 99 year catch for a touchdown, or when my wife took the remote and switched it to HGTV.

    Saw some of Mizzou against Okie state but once again fell asleep. Saw some of the Michigan state /stanford game but decided it would be a nice evening to get a walk in before it got cold. ( yes it did get cold up here in Omaha).

    Missed the Ohio state /clemson game. I am watching the final game because it is the final game.

    I guess what I am trying to say is I agree with you ,drew. there are two many bowl games. IF 70 out of 120 teams can qualify for a bowl game then what is the point of the season. Its almost as useless as the NBA season. Just selling tickets here, nothing to see , just move along.

    Don’t get me started on boycotts, the tickets have already been sold, the money collected and the bank account stuffed. It doesn’t matter if no one shows up or not.

    The guys in the band, or some of them, are on scholarship also, but not everyone comes to the game to see the band. the NCAA has a license to print money on the backs of the “student”/athlete and they do so by the bucket full.

    Some day the major football schools will say enough is enough and form something along the line of the Collegiate Football Association and take all the money home with them leaving the conferences, and lesser powers and the NCAA asking “remember when?”

    OK, now I have vented. time for bed see you guys in the morning.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

  3. Addition to your list:

    #8. If I hear the term “true freshman” one more time I’ll gonna go postal.

    Signed,

    False Freshman

  4. Are you sure Lou isn’t a puppet? I guess the cheerleader shots arent enough, I am all for women getting into the reporting, but why are they all pretty? Let’s get real, and Kate Upton only furthers that problem. I guess I do enjoy looking at the players, except Janokowski.
