BCS is the Suk

Yeahhhh- Georgia kicked the snot out of Hawaii. Who benefits? Answer: nobody.

Kansas and Hawaii had no business being in BCS games. The problem is this: If teams are rewarded for playing soft schedules, then we aren't going to see any good out of conference matchups during the regular season. The fans lose when teams like this get in.

Kansas is a good football team. I am not disputing that. Their A.D. saw this season coming years ago. They had no Oklahoma or Texas on the schedule this year. K State is struggling. Nebraska is struggling. So what did Kansas do? They got on the phone and scheduled their first four games against shitty teams. They blew them out. Who wins here? Answer: Only Kansas. The rest of us have no good games to watch.

Do we want college football to end up like boxing? Boxers go 22-0 because they fight chumps for two years before they'll take a big time fight. I think we would all rather see more good fights than see an impressive record.

We must stop rewarding teams for playing soft schedules.

Georgia is no exception. I realize that Georgia's schedule included a whole bunch of really good SEC teams. That is no excuse for their out of conference schedule. Georgia is scheduling games according to what will impress the BCS. I would rather see Georgia play big teams from other conferences in the early part of the year than see them go to the Sugar Bowl and play a WAC team.

Alright- enough about that. Why would I talk about sports when I have such a compelling life to recount? Answer: because my life has been less than compelling lately. I tried to get a part time job at the sailboat brokerage, but they simply don't have any room for me there. I am still holding out hope, but it won't be anytime soon. Hey- that's okay. My job is pretty cool and they compensate me enough to allow frivalous purchases. Like a Nintendo Wii.

I have not bought a video game console since the PS1. I kept waiting for something different to come out. Each new platform provided better graphics and gameplay, but the experience was very similar to previous platforms. The analog stick was tempting, but not enough to justify those ridiculous purchase prices.

Then came the Wii. Truly different. I gotta tell ya- the potential is huge. Metroid 3 is amazing. The gameplay is unlike anthing you have ever experienced. I am really looking forward to future sports games. The current crop does not take full advantage of the Wii controllers. I have no doubts that the EA engineers are working on some cool shit right now. I also look forward to seeing what Microsoft and Sony bring next. If they combine the graphics and speed of their units with the revolutionary gameplay offered by the Wii, then we are looking at big leaps in video gaming. I am picturing a helmet with a screen inside and lots of strap on sensors. Kinda like that VR stuff at Dave and Busters; except not retarded.

Maybe the Wii has something to do with my lack of adventure lately. Nah... I'm just lazy.

Chili cookoff in two weeks. Two weeks. Two weeks. Two weeks. Best day of the year.

Bowling starts in five days. Thursday is my favorite day of the week. Friday morning is my least favorite day of the week. My bowling team is the best. At drinking.
