football and stuff

So the Florida Gators are going to the National Championship football game over Michigan, to play the Ohio State University. Let the celebrating and whining begin. The youngster is on cloud nine, but plenty of people aren't. There wasn't a way for this game to work and be fair to everyone. Somebody was getting screwed and it was Michigan. In fact, ten minutes after all the announcements were made, someone at ESPN had a column posted about how badly Michigan got screwed. If the decision had been made the other way and Michigan got to play the game instead of Florida, twenty bucks says the same guy had another column written, ready to post, about how unfair the decision was for Florida. Michigan deserves to play Ohio State in the National Championship game. Florida deserves to play Ohio State in the National Championship game. In the present system, only one team can do that. By the way, Louisville has a legit claim to that game too. Just more unhappy campers clamoring for a playoff system in college football. Gotta wonder how many of those you need before it actually happens. Flip side for the Gators...be careful what you ask for boys.

Tha Jaguars beat Miami in the border war between Florida and Cuba. I just have to shake my head and be entertained. The good Jaguar team showed up this week. I just hope they stick around for next weekend at home against the Colts, and keep the evil twins locked in the closet.

Feel good story of the weekend...Riley Skinner, quarterback for Wake Forest. Last year the kid was the quarterback at the Bolles School in J'ville. He lead his team to the state championship but got zippo attention from college recruiters. His best option appeared to be a scholarship from Miami of Ohio when someone convinced the folks at Wake Forest to use their last scholarship offer on the guy. He goes to Wake. The starting quarterback goes down for the season. He gets thrown in as a freshman and rocks. He leads his team to the ACC Championship game in, of all places, J'ville. Comes home to play in Alltel Stadium and leads his team to a victory over Georgia Tech in front of his friends and family. This kid has had one hell of a fall semester, and he's on his way to the Orange Bowl. There's a movie in there somewhere. Has to be. This shit only happens in movies.

Got my bling bling baby and I'm lookin' for love....heard my hip hopera diet pepsi commercial again while listening to the pre-game talk stuff on the radio before the Jaguars game. That thing cracks me up. M C to the hizzle, that's fo' shizzle.

God's crankin' the A.C. again. We're supposed to get down into the 30's overnight tonight. Time to grab the big coats.
