College Football

I'm not a fan of paycheck games that small schools schedule with big name schools.  The small schools may need the money and the players may think it is cool to play in front of bigger crowds, at storied venues, and see how they stand up against the best.

UM vs. Savannah State 77-7.  The radio announcers were discussing Forrest Gump and Midnight In Garden of Good and Evil that were filmed in Savannah throughout the 2nd Half.  More than a few walk overs last Saturday.  FIU, the other local school got clocked by Louisville and that game was just as ugly as the UM game.  In the 1970's Miami was the Little Sister of The Poor for Notre Dame, Texas, and Penn State's of the world until they made a concerted effort to recruit some better players and make sure their facilities were more up to date.  Investigations by the NCAA and sanctions soon followed but it just seems to be part of the cost of doing business.

I don't think the Christians vs. The Lions was good sport either and the scheduled slaughters need to be stopped in spite of the occasional David vs. Goliath upset that is completely overrated.

And so it goes.  The UM game was off the board.
