When you go to a Dodger game and don\u2019t have to hear the name F.P. Santangelo, you\u2019re happy to be there&#8230;but if I make it to the Rose Bowl (provided the right Twilight Zone, Quantum Leap, moment comes along)&#8230;There\u2019s no way I\u2019m gonna smile, shake hands, and yuck it up with the team that just spanked me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oregon was disappointing yesterday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;.and Tim Tebow wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure current Notre Dame HC Brian Kelly watched the Sugar Bowl from home very proud of his decision&#8230;I understand business, I understand I\u2019ve said this before, but Kelly is a BUM&#8230;and those Bearcat players suffered the brunt of their former HC\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping Notre Dame a miserable 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone want the job at Texas Tech?<\/p>\n<p>As an avid USC basketball fan, if you had told me the Trojans would win nine games this season I would have taken it&#8230;if you would have told me they\u2019d have nine wins, plus be 1-0 in league at this point of the season I would have said; \u201cAndy, shut up!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who needs Tim Floyd?<\/p>\n<p>Can somebody tell Corn Dawg its 2010, he might still be in a gym somewhere watching a tournament.<\/p>\n<p>You know that feeling you have right now&#8230;that feeling of conclusion&#8230;that feeling of things being over&#8230; Its created by a lack of local football&#8230; If you would jump on the bandwagon with me we could be looking forward to JV Spring Football starting in about six weeks&#8230;It would be awesome&#8230;but instead you would rather wait 253 days for the first Zero Week game.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m willing to compromise&#8230;Somebody tell me when they are going to have their first throw-around this off season and I\u2019ll be happy to come out take shots&#8230; I&#8217;m not done with football, sorry&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Quite a few teams will be hitting the weights Monday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep an eye on, with the holidays behind us, is we are entering the zone when the prep football coaches make decisions about moving on.
