Thank Goodness!

Thank goodness that college football is over. The bowl season is just ridiculous nowadays. Pretty soon, it will begin on December 15th and the national championship will be on Valentine's Day. I am not just bitter that Michigan State was terrible this year. I am also not bitter that the Big Ten barely showed up for a single game in post-season play. I was just really bored with it at the end.



On to College Basketball. AZ said the Spartans were promising this year, with a lot of fresh new talent. Despite the injuries, they had an impressive non-conference record. Enter conference play. The Spartans are slated to go 0-fer in the Big Ten. (OK, maybe I exaggerate....just 0-fer on the road in the Big Ten). It is unbearable to watch. Enough about that. On to Cal Tech. They brought hope to the world that nothing is impossible this weekend. They snapped an 11 year NCAA D-III losing streak that spanned 207 games. They routed Bard College 81-52 on Saturday. Next goal for the Beavers: win a conference game. They have a 245 game losing streak in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. This streak is just about 22 years old. Go Beavers!

I am going to try to give up on sports for a while and pursue other interests. Hopefully, I will learn how to write an interesting blog in the process.

i agree. one week after the jan 1 bowl games is too long. and last night's game was about as anti-climatic as it gets. college athletics are so money driven and it sucks the life right out of the game. i would much prefer to see every game on jan 1 like back in the day.

the beavers! hooray for winning! hooray for life!

what?
