O.k. I posted this question last night on Gambitxxx's blog last night and now I'm opening it up to everyone to see what everyone else thinks. Before I start let me say that in order for this question/discussion to work I had to pick teams that do not play each other in the regular season. So no disrespect to Texas, Auburn, LSU, or Georgia.
Let's say that USC stays at #1all season, runs the table and goes undefeated in the regular season. Oklahoma and Missouri in the Big 12 both go undefeated and meet in the Big 12 Championship game. Alabama and Florida also go undefeated and meet in the SEC Championship game.
So here is the question - who goes to the National Title game and who gets left out? Does the number one team go without playing a Conference Championship game? Or does the teams with an extra game make it?
Where have all the great sportcasters gone? Men like Keith Jackson and Howard Cosell. Sportcasters that could call any game in any sport and would keep you on the edge of your seat. These days it seems we have sportcasters that don't know the difference between the Wishbone and a hole in the ground. Analysts that give you insight like "if they would score more points they would win more games".
So here is the question - Who are the worst most idiotic, hated or anoying sportcasters in all of sports? I have two that top my list. First is Lee Corso. There is a joke in Alabama about the only thing Bama fans and Auburn Fans can agree on is they both hate Lee Corso. Why do people listen to this guy. He NEVER had a winning record as a head coach but it seems that people hang on his every word like he is a college football guru. All he can tell you is how to lose. It would be like me getting tips on being a championship boxer from Butterbean. The second is #### Vital. I won't argue that Dicky V knows his stuff, but if I had to listen to him using the term "baby" on a regular basis I would go postal. I want emotion and an upbeat personality not someone who acts like a kid with ADD on a sugar high. So let me hear it - Who are some other sportcasters that need to go away for one reason or another or if nothing else just shut up?
Ok this is just to ask all of the college footbal fans out there one simple question - does anyone care about the mythical national championship for signing day? I for one am already sick of hearing that Alabama has the top recruting class. AND I AM AN ALABAMA FAN! The hype that is made over signing day makes me sick. Let's face it, having the top recruiting class means nothing but a stat on a piece of paper. In order to stop the arguement before it starts - yes I know that means that Alabama has the best group of high school players coming in which should translate to a better team, more wins, and more championships (SEC and National). But how many top blue chip players turned out to be over rated and have done absolutely nothing in college? In fact the same can be said for the NFL draft - (Any one remember "Crying" Ryan Leaf?). The fact is the best team in college football is decided on the field of play and not on a piece of paper 7 months before the season starts. Let's look at Auburn for example - correct me if I'm wrong but they have not had a top 10 recruiting class over the last seven or so years, but over the same peroid of time they have had one of the best records in the SEC. So let's hear it college football fans - is there too much hype about signing day?
I am just your average sports fan who believes the following: 1 - Div. 1 college football needs a playoff. 2 - The SEC is the toughest conference. 3 - Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC are the most over-rated teams in college football. 4 - An attractive woman who knows sports is every man's fantasy. 5 - The MLB season is too long. 6 - The DH in baseball needs to be done away with. 7 - The government needs to stay out of sports because they mess up everything they get involved in.
