I just might be the one in a billion or however many who DID NOT watch one play, one down or one second of any football game. Does that make me weird or strange? In some eyes, probably. But I got a lot of reading done, a puzzle done, spent time with my bride and grandson, rode my bike, didn't lose a penny betting, didn't fret or fume over a bad pass, and above all, I am not cross-eyed. Oh the joys of not caring about football-college or pro.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bill, that makes you weird. BUT THAT'S OK!!!
ReplyDeleteSteve, Let me get this straight... The BIG 12 had LESS games than the SEC but still rated HIGHER???? Hmmmmm
Rick...you do know why, don't you?
ReplyDeleteIt's those dang democrats!
