Okay, I’m a football fan. By “football,” I mean American football, of course. The kind of football played in helmets and pads, with lots of hitting, passing, and kicking — NOT soccer.
Who would have thought that this year’s college football powerhouses would include teams like Kansas and Missouri, instead of Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, and all the other biggies in the college football sports world?
Not me. Not most folks. It has been a bizarre year for big-time football programs. Louisiana State, Kansas, West Virginia, and Missouri are the top schools in the latest Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings. I won’t even get started on all that I think is WRONG about the BCS shell game. (As a diehard Boise State University fan, I’m still bitter that BSU was the only undefeated major NCAA team in the nation last year, yet never ranked No. 1 in the BCS farce.)
So it makes for good football and an interesting season for football fans, regardless of your college allegiance. Personally, I live in Missouri and love the fact that the Mizzou Tigers realistically could end up in the BCS Bowl against LSU or Kansas. I love it!
Ah, well, what do I know? I’m just a guy (a football fan!) who reads the papers.
