THE WIZARDRY OF OS
I watch sports to see things I can’t believe I am seeing. It seems like most of those things aren’t going the way of my teams this year, but I’ll get over that
I think.
Seriously, though, I challenge a fiction write like JK Rowling or John Grisham to come up with the type of storylines that are actually happening these days.
The Saints and the Georgia Bulldogs commit the same clock management error at the same end zone in the same building in the same week! I don’t know why neither team would clock the ball to organize themselves when they won’t get to fourth down anyway. I know both quarterbacks know they have to throw in the end zone in case the receiver can’t get out of bounds or in the end zone. I also know it happened, but if I had read it in a book I would think the author has a wild imagination.
Another example is the illogical bowl system. For the record, I have liked the national championship situation under the BCS better than the other bowl arrangements. I hate the bowl tie-ins because it seems like we get the same match-ups every year.
Nevertheless, look at how things have played out. The BCS games are duds. I can’t say I am excited about any of them, and I am pretty sure stadiums will be ¾ full. If you want to go to the Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl for $5, this is the year.
Meanwhile, the smaller bowls come out the winner. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl has two 10 win teams with contrasting styles. The Cotton Bowl also gets two 10 win teams that used to be in the same conference. That game figures to be wildly entertaining.
The part that a fiction writer might not think of is that the SEC has six 10 win teams even though these events occurred:
• LSU lost a Heisman candidate, All-American left tackle, All-SEC right tackle, played 15 freshmen, and still won 10 games.
• Arkansas was supposed to be a 10 win team at least. They lost their coach and their season fell apart. Yet, hook any college football fan up to a lie detector machine and I am sure they believe Arkansas would have won 8-10 games if Petrino had coached them this year.
I haven’t even gotten to the NFL where the Seahawks are living as blessed an existence imaginable. San Francisco and St. Louis almost played two ties in the same year yet didn’t thanks to the kicker with the bionic leg and Jim Harbaugh deciding to roll the dice at quarterback.
Meanwhile, the best news in my own sports world is the early success of the LSU basketball team. It has been a while but we are back to the LSU basketball I grew up watching. This team is comprised of a few really talented players, but a number of other guys that play bigger than they are, and a group that plays hard together. In basketball, that can be pretty fun to watch. I guess it would make a pretty good script to say that the head coach was a former player, left in turmoil, and is now back to lead the program. Of course, that is the type of stuff you read in fiction.
HEY REF
For the second year in a row “Little Nicky” and the Alabama Crimson Tide has reached the BCS National Title Game. That in itself is a major deal taken into effect the way rankings are done in today’s mega dollar sports programs. So much is also depended on the financial gain companies and the individual schools are banking on in the return for the millions of dollars handed to coaches, their staffs and just general costs incurred with the major colleges.
But let me get to the so called disrespect given to LSU’s Tigers. I keep reading how some feel this year’s team was slighted when the Cotton Bowl chose the Aggies of Texas A&M over a higher rated LSU team. Sure the facts are LSU is ranked one step higher and many feel they should’ve gotten the nod to go play in Big “D”. But the powers that be wanted a home team that is led by a Heisman candidate which of course A&M does possess.
Now if many are angered by this fact all I can say is “GET USED TO IT”! It’s only gonna gets worse when the NCAA conducts the new playoff system next year where the four highest ranked teams will get the nod to begin a much troublesome attempt at satisfying hungry fans craving a Crowned Champion that is settled in 4 short 15 minute quarters!
The new system will only increase the number of teams striving for a crown by just two extra teams. There will be no less than a dozen teams every year crying they were disrespected by not getting one of the four bids. That’s each and every year! Cry all you want, many fans are sure their teams will not be left out but I can guarantee you this; your odds are better at winning a Super Ball Lottery than to rein in a chance to play within the new system.
So, LSU fans, get those long awaited plane tickets to Atlanta and enjoy the Chick-Filet Bowl cause it ain’t gonna get any better in the future.
One thing I’d like to do is draw attention to the fact that 6 of the top 10 teams in the final regular season poll are from the SEC. What do we need to take from this? Great teams, sure. Great schools, maybe. Great coaches, no, not too sure. No, the attention I’d like to bring up is the fact that southern states are consistently ranked high when we compete on the football field. Yet are always near or at the bottom when we compete in the job market (earned income) by workers in these same southern states!!
So, maybe we as working people trying to make a decent living should start hiring coaches to run our state legislatures. That’s a bunch to take in all at one time and it’s exactly where I’d like to leave everyone train of thought till next week and maybe the crisis we have in our take home pay might start to creep into conversations a lot more often in the South.
For the South will NEVER rise again till we find a way for its people’s income to also rise just as the cost of a winning football program continues to skyrocket!!!!
