Conference re-alignment has not completely dulled my enthusiasm for college football, just partially. Roughly about to the same extent the Transportation Safety Administration has dulled my enthusiasm for air travel. I maintain some appreciation for the theatre of the absurd, like the ten-team Big...

Fathers forget how hard it is to come inside. Our timing always stinks; we have no appreciation for ending a game in the front yard or driveway at the proper moment. We believe that shower time trumps our little Tom Brady facing third and 15 down six at Pittsburgh (I know, I am trying to raise a...
BCS Analysis – The Undefeateds Take 2
Well, that didn't take long. Wisconsin and Oklahoma took themselves out of the undefeateds group and made this week's analysis a lot shorter. I'm going to stay brief and only update last week's analysis because there's not much point to going further than that until the result of the 11/5...

My mom didn’t cotton to bored children. If you ever said I’m bored, she would counter with a list of activities. If you didn’t chose one, then she would tell you that your boredom was your own fault. There is justice in this. But Saturday, she would have been hard-pressed. Well, you could watch...
BCS Analysis – The Undefeateds
As Scipio posted previously, the first BCS standings are out. There weren't very many surprises in there, although most of the media was probably shocked to learn that the only unbiased sources out there (computers) rank the Big 12 as the toughest conference in the nation. It's far too early to...

Among my many neuroses, I have a problem with people who turn left when it is completely unreasonable to turn left. This is one of the many cultural battles that I have lost (right up there with an insistence that all youth sports leagues have picture day). Americans believe that their inalienable...

Robert Fulghum did his best to convince us that everything we needed to know we learned in kindergarten. We are supposed to share and take our turn and be kind and, perhaps most importantly, not to take joy in the misfortune of others. College football fans tend to suspend this last one on fall...
SB Nation Conference Re-draft: 7th round just went down
The 7th round is a wrap and while our stranglehold on this venture has loosened its grip slightly, we expect other teams to start tapping out by selecting the best Mormon school available, relying on a higher power to deliver the final vote on their conference might. The 12 Pack continues to...

Pastor Hall really brought it on prayer this week. He pointed out that people used to pray all the time, whenever they wanted. Then, turns out, only certain people were allowed to pray. Then the powers that be decreed you would only pray in certain places and among certain other people. Then they...
Barking Bets: Week 4
I continue to fall farther and farther below the Mendoza line of betting (55%) and it's starting to get to me. After watching the Kentucky Wildcats choke away a cover and suffering two kick returns for TD's against me in different games during my gambling day, I proceeded to make my way to DKR...
