Yesterday was the Super Bowl. Seattle won, by the way, but today is Discuss Super Bowl Ads Day. A yearly event, and yes, I watch the game with a legal pad. The best review of the ads is always done by USA Today. They use large panels of writers, critics, and regular people. I think they are […]
Sunday is Super Bowl LX or 60 to most of us. The Super Bowl is the one time of the year when I get to use my Roman Numeral Basics. I is one, V is 5, X is 10, L is 50, and C is 100. A numeral placed after a larger-valued numeral is added, and a […]
When I attended Indiana University for four years the football team averaged two wins a year. Finally, over 70 years later we are in the Semi-finals of the College football playoffs. Curt Cignetti, our coach of the year, has wrought wonders in just two years. College football followers might appreciate one stat that Paul Scheper just […]
#1- Texas is ranked number one in the country and plays at THE Ohio State next Saturday. THE Ohio State is ranked number three, but the Las Vegas Bookies have the Buckeyes favored by 2.5 points at this time. So there must be some points allowed for home field advantage, or the Bookies believe they know […]
The Ups and Downs of Football I was a Big Ten supporter for many years after graduating from Indiana University and living in Wisconsin for 23 years. After many decades I have become a Pac 12 fan. It is getting harder and harder to be one. The Pac 12 conference football players get graded every […]
Who Will Move Forward Four games, three decided on a game ending field goal and one went to overtime. (Will the owners ever realize how important field goal kickers are to their success and draft them and pay them well. And quit playing in Wisconsin snowstorms.) Now for the odds on who will go all […]
It’s About the Weather Years and years ago in a far-off land called Racine-Wisconsin, I watched the first Rose Bowl game where a Big Ten team played a West Coast team. The Michigan team won handily so that felt good. We decided to go to a local movie, and when we walked outside we met […]
It’s The Weather When I was in high school, I remember a Rose Bowl game where Michigan beat USC badly. Then, I went to a movie in a hellacious snow storm. Remembered for many years. Every year when there is sun in Pasadena on the New Year’s day broadcast and cold east of the Rockies, […]
Sportswriter Bill Dwyre was the Sports Editor for the LA Times for decades and I have always enjoyed his writing. He is still writing columns for the Times. On December 1 he wrote a column entitled: “See ya, stinkin’ Lincoln. So long smelly Kelly”. Obviously, he has some strong views on the college coaching carousel. […]
Ownership Shares Living in Wisconsin from birth to college graduation I was a fan of the Packers. Some years ago I read an article that mentioned that I could be an owner. So for $300.00 I have owned a share for a few years. For the first time in 10 years the Pack is offering […]
