College Football wrap up

I don't blog much about college football although Im a huge fan. In fact, I'm a season ticket holder for the Ducks. But here's some comments:

Reggie Bush should win the Heisman. WHy? because he should have won it last year. Matt Leinhart wasn't even the best player on his team last year let alone in the country. But the DAC screwed up and gave it to Matt. NOw they screwed themselves b/c Leinhart his having an even better year this year and is more deserving than last year, but come on ...if you asked any college coach in the country who'd they LOVE to have on their team, I'd bet 90% would say Bush. Leinhart's good, even great, but Bush is magical. After you ask the coaches, ask the linebackers and cornerbacks what player they would NOT want running at them in the open field...again Bush would win that one.

Sorry Vince, next year

What's the difference between the "Fighting Irish" and the "Fighting Illini". YOu may say nothing, both are names of college sports teams that either denigrate or honor an entire people. But there is a difference, one of those names belongs to Notre Dame. So, they do what they want. They get special TV contracts, an extra 7 spots in every football poll that comes out weekly, they even get a special deal with the BCS. BUT they aren't not held to the same standard when it comes to names that honor/denigrate an entire people. Don't expect the NCAA to be forcing the priests at Notre Dame to be shedding their name anytime soon.

Finally, Please Fiesta Bowl comittee, take the Ducks...
