“…prohibit, as an unfair and deceptive act or practice, the promotion, marketing, and advertising of any post- season NCAA Division I football game as a national championship game unless such game is the culmination of a fair and equitable playoff system.”
Without every NCAA FCS Conference having a end-of-season championship game, the BCS still would be left in the same mess it is now........at the mercy of non-game watching sports writers who vote on appearance, prestige, and fandom. So why delay the inevitable? Why not just enjoy the Bowl season and appreciate the games for what they are?

Out Kicking Your Coverage

One of these isn't like the others.......

When you are a young billionare, always strive for peak performance.
Your coverage should match the front - clearly the IHOP waitress at the top is fundamentally unsound.


* sorry for the lack of posts this week (after a rousing weekend of championship games). I am working on a more in-depth breakdown of the TCU coverage rules and examine it with game footage, but I'm stuck in training all week and heading to New Orleans this weekend.

Hall Of Fame: Roger Craig

No, he's not....

But here's a pitch to persuade you to voice a show of support for Craig's accomplishment at;

http://www.fanschoice.com/

    • 4 Pro Bowls
    • 3 Super Bowls
    • NFC Player of the Year (1988)
    • NFL Offensive Player of the Year (1988)
    • First player to score 3 TDs in a Super Bowl
    • First player to rush and receive at least 1,000 yards in the same season
      (setting the mold for the future of NFL offenses ala Marshall Faulk, Reggie
      Bush, Brian Westbrook, etc
      ).
Being a youngster growing up watching the Craig brothers at Davenport Central (and older brothers that played there), there are many fond memories of Friday nights and the Blue Devils. Here is an especially enjoyable moment in that history.....Central vs Cedar Rapids Washington on a (then) natural grass Brady Street Stadium surface, where Craig glides for 355 rushing yards.

THIS IS IT!!! SEC CHAMPIONSHIP

The SEC College Football Season comes to a climax this weekend in the Florida v Alabama championship game in Atlanta. The son of Chuck Norris, Tim Tebow will face an Alabama team aching for revenge after last year's SEC championship loss to the same unholy lord of college football. Face it folks, even though Tebow spends his free time preaching to the incarcerated, curing cancer (we assume), trimming the foreskin of the impoverished, and keeping the planets properly aligned by toting the earth around the sun to keep it in its proper orbit; on the field he's not nearly so generous. On the field he dominates. Just ask him. He'll tell you over and over again.

In honor of Tebow's sheer awesomeness, we give you the Tebow SEC

Championship Drinking Game!

* Drink every time Tebow is called "a warrior." Bonus chug if any of your friends sing the first two lines of Scandal's opus "I am a warrior" and change the lyrics to "Tebow is..." Dance, Tebow, you magnificent bastard.


* Drink every time Tebow's called "a leader," then salute.


* Drink every time Tebow's called a "special athlete," then yell "Tiiiimmmmmmmmay!"


* Finish your drink if the announcers suggest Tebow should win the Heisman again this year.

* Drink every time Tebow points to the sky. Then realize the only reason the sky hasn't fallen is the strength of his pointing.

* Drink every time Tebow references God. Or himself. Tom-A-to. Tom-ah-to.

* Drink every time he's shown on the sidelines flapping his arms like a bird (or an idiot) to pump up the crowd.

* If (when) Tebow actually takes flight, finish your drink and do a shot.

* Drink every time Tebow's on camera for no reason when the Florida defense is on the field.

* Drink every time Tebow is seen screaming with his helmet off.

* Drink every time they show a "I Heart Tebow" sign in the stands.

* Drink every time you see a Florida fan in jorts. (Small sips on this one. Otherwise it could kill you).
* Shot every time they mention his experience as missionary.

* If they mention him performing circumcisions in the Philippines while he was a missionary - Chug your beer, do a shot of Patron.



Disclaimer: Playing the Tebow drinking game may result in death. So don't do it. Ever. Not even in jest. The content above this disclaimer is a joke, not a suggestion. If you're dumb enough to do it, just pray Tebow is nearby. Only he can save you. Him or a local hospital with a stomach pump.
