New Years Thoughts

It's a new year...our government is still trying to be mom, dad, grandma, grandpa aunt and uncle to all of us. I wonder when we all start looking at our pay stubs once again to see just how much we EARN goes to some sort of bureaucratic/government entity? That's all it takes you know. Look at your GROSS pay and then look at the NET pay...all of that money goes to a government entity of some sort. Wouldn't it be nice to keep ALL of what you earned for yourself? Then watch the economy grow...but I digress. We want to be taken care of by the almighty behemoth we call the government. We're too busy for those things. I've got a new car/house/wii to play with and worry about. The government can take care of the other details... What a great country this USED to be.

So we're all up in arms about the roads not being plowed for us. Do any of you realize that this is what you ALWAYS get when you let government take care of you with all the money you send them? So, instead of plowed streets in the winter, we get a new auditorium, gambling and condoms in schools. When will we realize that there is not enough money to give us all that we want? NO matter how much we gnash our teeth and demand it from our government...when in reality it is ourselves. Look it up. It's in a history book somewhere.

As far as the BCS goes, I don't want to hear the Boise States, TCU's and all the other "mid-majors" who whine about the BCS not being fair. Get over yourselves and join a real conference and play real talent. Those two teams last night in the Fiesta Bowl would have lost to ANY other major conference in the USA. So, grow up a little bit and come back when you can compete with the big boys. Let's be real could EITHER of those teams REALLY competed against Florida, Texas, Alabama, USC? Um, no.

And speaking of college football,. Mizzou you can leave the B12 anytime you like. An average team going to an avergae conference (they can't count past 10 either for some reason...) equals average football. Your jump will fail miserably and you wil NEVER compete for a NC while a member of the B10 conference...you won't in teh B12 either but that's another story. Good riddance to bad garbage, I say.

Oh, one other thing. Fox college football coverage S-U-C-K-S!!! Stick to the NFL and give the college game back to ESPN and ABC where it belongs. You just don't get it...and the 12 year-old who hosts the pre-game show is really bad.. No. REALLY bad! Not as clever as he thinks he is.
