If I Could Fix College Football
I have favorite teams in nearly every sport. I pull for those teams above any other. However, for a long time I have had a soft spot for the underdog. I love watching the “little teams” in college sports break through. Last year, I was one of the folks who thought that TCU deserved to play for the BCS national championship game. Win or lose the game, I felt like they deserved to be there. This year, I am fully on the Boise State bandwagon, and hope TCU has another year like last year. After the Boise State Broncos went to Washington, D.C., and defeated Virginia Tech (another team in…

A Blog Update and Some Quick Reviews
If you read our blog regularly, you know that we have a bit of a “set” schedule currently that works for us. Today marks a “part-time” addition to that schedule. If you don’t check in regularly, here is what we are currently doing each day, including the update: Monday: Book Reviews. We used to put these on Wednesdays, but I am going to start reviewing books each Monday, when I have completed a book or multiple books in the previous week. Tuesday: Article. These are often about family or faith, but these are just brief and, hopefully, encouraging articles. Wednesday: Lists. From 5 to 30, we’ve listed all sorts of things.…

Friday Links Roundup: Tell Someone Edition
Yep, it’s time for a shameless plug of our blog. The number of “hits” we get each day are far better than they were a year ago, but, over the last couple of months, they have stagnated. We aren’t about just getting numbers on the blog, but it is encouraging to see more folks coming and seeing what’s here. That’s where you come in. Would you please pass along a favorite post (or just our blog address) to 5 people? If each person who regularly comes would just tell 5 people, we could easily raise our numbers. If that person would like to be on our email list, just send me…

Friday Links Roundup: The REAL Game on Saturday
Did you know there are football games tomorrow? I know, with the lack of media coverage, it would be easy to miss that Florida and Alabama play tomorrow. I hope that wasn’t a shock to you. However, we know that one of those teams will play for the BCS national championship. So, why watch? There’s no drama there. The REAL game is between Texas and Nebraska! If the Cornhuskers pull a major upset, they will earn a BCS bid and quite possibly open the door for TCU to play for a national title. Now THAT’S worth watching!!! On to the links for this week: 1. I often speak about the…

College Football Preview 2009
So, I know you’ve been sitting around, just wondering who’s going to be good and bad in college football this year. Well, wait no longer! Here is my conference breakdown, then the other stuff to see. ACC Champ: Virginia Tech over Florida State in the title game. Disappointment: Clemson. Again. Big East Champ: Rutgers, if it really matters. This conference should be called “Land of the 7-5 Teams.” Disappointment: Cincinnati. Some have the Bearcats winning. I think they finish in the middle of the muddle. Big 10/11 Champ: Ohio State. Penn State has a one-game schedule…and they lose it. Disappointment: Michigan State. Possible up-and-coming year ends up in usual 7-5…
