The Closer…
Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, National Signing Day is rapidly fading from the sports news shows. I'm going to have to admit that it is closing. Friday afternoon I happened upon a segment of "College Football Live" on ESPN"U". 'Couldn't believe my good fortune! It felt like a huge bonus point; we were going to have football "year 'round" -what a nice surprise! 'Settled in to listening/watching, … [Read More...]
No Doubt, No Split Title
As the controversy raged about the "re-match" between #1 LSU and #2 Alabama, many said that in a close game the Associated Press (AP) voters would still put LSU #1 on their final 2011 ballots. As it turned out, only one voter did that. In the Final Ballot, the AP voters gave 55 votes to Alabama, 1 to LSU and...4 people voted for Oklahoma State. 55 is a nice vote of confidence, I'd say. … [Read More...]
Arkansas vs Kansas State – Cotton Bowl Drama
The Friday evening, "Cotton Bowl" between Arkansas and Kansas State seemed thoroughly entertaining to me. As a Southerner, I was pulling for The Hogs and was glad to see them get the W. I thought the FOX coverage guys did a good job and we (my husband and I) remarked that it was a welcome change from the CBS duo that we've endured for yet another season. I realize some of you might really enjoy … [Read More...]
“Bowling” and Southern Football
Hello to all and Happy 2012 to each! I sure do hope that this year will bring numerous joyful experiences, answers to your questions and concerns, good health, great wealth, genuine gratitude AND some time to enjoy all of it. I have been "silent" for a while on the blog. The Bowl Season of course, kicked off back on December 17th, but I have had very little interest in the match ups that have … [Read More...]
A SEC Re-Match…
By now you no doubt have heard the roar of joy and, dissatisfaction about the National Championship Game scheduled for January 9, 2012. 'Seems the vote was unanimous for SEC, undefeated, LSU who sits comfortably in the #1 spot in all polls. Not so easily and not so unanimously, we find Alabama precariously sitting at #2 while much of the nation takes um-bridge with the choice. It is no doubt a … [Read More...]
Final Week of Play
It's really hard for me to believe that the season is drawing to a close this weekend. I was more excited about this season than any in previous memory. We counted down the days and broke down the teams, anticipating the Kick Off of 2011 College Football. No crystal ball could have foreseen all of the drama that unfolded in the college ranks, both on and off the field. Legendary coaches fell, … [Read More...]
Rival Week – Head Turner
Tomorrow is a very big game in the SEC - LSU vs. Arkansas. LSU is #1 and Arkansas is #3. By now you know that we have the top 3 spots in the BCS covered by LSU, Alabama and Arkansas. Lots of eyes are on this one, ladies. It is big. If LSU wins, it will be an easy route for the Tigers to the SEC title game with Georgia. If Arkansas pulls the upset, well...we could see any number of scenarios … [Read More...]
Week #12 – Rear-view Mirror
I must offer my apologies for the absence of a "Head-Turner" last week. To be perfectly frank, I just couldn't think of any way to talk about college football without dealing with the Penn State debacle. I didn't have it "in" me to write even a word on the subject and..., I still don't. From the perspective of my rear-view mirror, this past weekend has left me with little to say except, … [Read More...]
Week #11 – Head Turner
Coming up with a Head Turner this week is a bit of a challenge. By now, we have all settled into the notion that LSU will play in the National Championship Game on January 9th (pending some sort of VERY unusual development). Their opponent, however is still in question. As of now, it is Oklahoma State, but they still have to play Oklahoma who was - as I am sure you remember, pre-season … [Read More...]
Week #10 – Head Turner
"Tis the Eleventh month on Day, Zero-Five and nary a girl is now alive"... Who could bear another comment on the LSU/ Alabama GAME!!!! Have you EVER seen or heard so much hype, analysis and "insider info" on any game? We've seen everything from expert analysis to the inside of Les Miles and Nick Saban's vehicles on their way to work. I've listened to radio and ESPN coverage ad nauseum and I … [Read More...]
