Is Heim Time Full Time?

 I feel the most appropriate reward for the Greatest Truck Season Ever is for Corey Heim to have a Full Time Job. Instead, he is in the midst of a Cold War with Ty Gibbs, which Toyota sunk their Money and Resources out of a Denny Hamlin Title of Historical Consequence and Result.

If Bubba Wallace didn't have the Brickyard, it would have been easier to be a Foil for Mr. Connor Zilisch, which I can't resist that Needlepoint for Lisbon Reasons. If it where not the Tony Stewart Legal Tie Ins, I would have Chandler Smith as a Cup Regular.

If we had Josh Berry or Chase Briscoe in the O'Reilly Series, we'd not have 10 Wins, but, more coherent Racing for WGN and Others. What seems to be lost is it was 10 Years Roush was Roush and Toyota has been doing their Dance for about a Generation.

The only good thing Toyota is getting is those who have Disposable Income like the 24 Still is On Tour. It would not be fair if Matt Crafton, Ron Hornaday,Jr. , Jack Sprague or Mike Skinner had a Similar Corner.

It would not be the 10 Wins, but WHERE and WHAT the 10 Wins where Won At!

I Am Not OK With Notre Dame, Iowa State and Kansas State Standing Down!

 Notre Dame's reason to Stand Down is because of the College Football Playoff Snub. Iowa State's Reason to Stand Down is because of Being Flatfooted out of Matt Campbell via We Hate Penn State, and Kansas State's Reason to Stand Down is because Waterloo Columbus Alumni Chris Klieman decided to Retire.

This is a Huge, Huge, Not OK! What Notre Dame is doing is playing Child's Play with the Bowl System and this is the 1st Time Since Bowl Eligibility came back to School in 1969 they've Stood Down! I would not be opposed to Marcus Freeman, but, I am opposed to the Bad,Bad Habits Brian Kelly left behind.

AD Pollard is one Angry Man, and he does not like Surprise Changes, as Penn State put him into a GTA-ian Corner, or His Tractors into a Corner that they did not sign up for. Coach Mac would have been Too Shaggy for a Lot of Places, Chizik was about Himself, I love Rhoads because he came from the Same Family as A Couple Different Cyclones, and Campbell elevated heights many Cyclone never felt they'd see.

I wouldn't want to see the Angst of Nebraska or Missouri eating the Cyclone's Lunchpail like a Bad Habit again.

It Will Tear Up An Arkansas Man and Their Family For Being Both Patty and Selma!

 Arkansas Razorbacks Fans don't need extra Reasons to get off the Mat after a Shameless 10 Loss Season. And, then, with Texas Tech winning the Big XII Championship, they are the Only Southwest Conference Era Curse still going.

It will tear up an Arkansas Man and Their Family for Being Both Patty and Selma Bouvier! The narrative is they'd have a Hard Time Seeing their Heroes at their House, and I would have wanted to bring The Tara with a Sense of Passion and Aggression.

I would feel that if Mr. Yurachek was not busy being Debt Collector, having something better for Little Rock's Hat than hanging on to the Clintons and their Fleas. I doubt having Arch Madness throw out Junior High Numbers against the People is not going to help that cause.

Certainly, I would feel that reinvesting in War Memorial would be a Hot Topic in Little Rock, but, I do not want their State be just there for the Party. They have to be better than that.

Preseason Tablet Post Brickyard 400 Pick Remark

 Closing out my Preseason Tablet until at least the Week Before the Daytona 500, I would remark Ryan Preece doing what Mark Martin, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards never did: Win the Brickyard 400. I'd liked more when there where More Teams and Less Hub like an Airport, but that is neither here or there.

2026 Stock Car Challenge Preseason Tablet All Star Remark

 Where I would start out with my 2026 Stock Car Challenge Slate is my All Star Remark. Where I would stand is I would not Immediately Include Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin for Litigation Reasons and SVG and Connor Zilisch for Horse Trading Reasons, especially if I am mad at Trackhouse for Jettisoning their Signature Number 99. And without further ado, here is my All Star Remark

1 6- Brad Keselowski        25

2 3-Austin Dillon              16

3 5-Kyle Larson                14

4 20-Christopher Bell       12

5 19-Chase Briscoe          10

6 1-Ross Chastain             8

7 8-Kyle Busch                 6

8 2-Austin Cindric            5

9 22-Joey Logano            4

10 21-Josh Berry             3

11 12-Ryan Blaney          2

12 9-Chase Elliott            1

In closing, I do not like having to put up with Litigation, namely with Front Row and 23XI, and I would feel Big Teams do not lead to Problem Solving if your Not Going to Contend Every Single Weekend. A lot of these Big Teams do not Collect Fan Bases or their Racers do not collect Legions of their Own Stand Alone Fan Bases. There would be a Reason NASCAR would be in the Position NHRA would be and it is Safety. Health Insurance, at the Weekly Racing Level, is another issue Entirely as ARCA would be a Stick in the Mud about that and for good reason.

Seriously, is Anyone Checking In On Eastern Iowa Wrestling?

 Even though it would be the 1st Term of The Iowa Girl in Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union Wrestling, it is worrying, especially in the Eastern Iowa Brand, namely that of the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City Corridor, if Shame and Anger is causing some serious Disharmony.

I would not be a Fight Commission, and Iowa State taking Mr. Brands and His 3 Lieutenants to the Woodshed is an Act of National Shame in Eastern Iowa. Where Iowa is winning that they shouldn't be is The Summer Gossip Rags. And, I am not a Wrestling Fan, and we'd run ragged there.

And, it doesn't help we'd skin our Local Flagship down to Non-Existence, especially if I want to see More Box Scores than Recess. That being the Last Boundary between Pen and Paper Disney and 3D Pixar.

Even though Mistakes are Easier to Correct on 3D, but, Bad Habits aren't. One of the Worst Fears that could happen is a Powerhouse Team Outmoney or Outfox our Territory as we'd couldn't play Charades with Carver's Future, either.

We Have Never Had a Non-Interim African American Head Coach at any SEC Powerhouse

 I do not like telling you this, especially on the Anniversary of Slyvester Croom's Hiring at Mississippi State, we have not had a Non-Interim African American Head Coach at any SEC Powerhouse. Those would be LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

And, to make matters worse, you'd have a Prize like we didn't see Derek Dooley before, and he'd be a Lawyer and Season Ticket Holder by Trade before he'd be Athletic Director and saying I had to warn off Kevin Sumlin and David Cutcliffe off the Power T for that Embargo. 

I'd argue and complain bitterly even now with Alabama having the Saban vs. Croom Argument, even if the Ground would have been more Punishable than it was Mondays than it was Some Saturdays. Auburn does not have a Good Habit of Treating People Right, and Bo Jackson always seems to be a Recluse at where he is.

Florida has to get it Right Early or the NCAA will take away the Payola Known as Buyouts. No one in the Great State of Florida has the Mood or the Patience to tell the Next Coach to Hit the Beach, amid other things. What I get mad at Georgia is how Mike Bobo would devolve into "My 1 Person Person" like Player Discipline and the Best Rock and Roll Outside Seattle wasn't wanted.

And, with the Power T, I feel Frustration on my 4th Pot of Coffee, and how I learned that was when my Camp Counselors, who where Male, did not want me Blabbing about WWF Wrestling.

The Lane Train Has Problems Being Mature!

 I feel the Only Good Day about the Lane Train is it has problems being Mature! And, the disassembly in Oxford will get Hairy and Nasty Quick! And, that conductor would be responsible for Deshaun Watson having a Job.

And, that is putting it mildly. I would feel that NCAA Investigation Dodging would be the Toughest Thing in the Lane Train's Engine Room, and Mississippi has been torched by 2 Straight Non-Interim Hires who'd Whistle Dixie and when the Chips where Down, they where Literally St. Nowhere.

LSU has Serious Problems in the Fact they Followed 2 Chollies with Brian Kelly having it His Way, and they doubled down on the Poker Table like they needed the Money and the Sadder Part, is they do.

And, Lane Kiffin is the Same Age as Ike Light. But, in reality, he has been given more Opportunities and Leashes than Dwight, and the Uncomfortable Part is I'd Rather See Duke in the Playoffs.

I doubt NCAA Investigation Dodging would come with a Stronger NCAA Office. The embers of Emmert would entail that someone from the Academic End would get very Nervous on Which Kids come Represent Your School and Wear Your Gear!

And, you won't have Eli Manning be Lock Step into a National Brand like Chris Simms didn't change all the Planes out of McGhee Tyson.

11302025 College Football Poll and Conference Championship Remarks

 Today, I'll start with the Conference Championship Remarks of the College Football Poll as the Mountain West is finally settled. The Mountain West is among the 4 Conferences that had to go into Some Form of Superreferendum, with the ACC, SEC, and MAC for their Position. It would plaster the Michigan - Ohio State 1973 Forever War, The 2003 SEC East and the 2008 Big XII South. I do not want to be a Third Man In Needlessly, because, that would do more Harm than Good.

Is there a Coast to Coast Dallas Carter For Problem Teams?

 I am irritated and dumbfounded, to put it mildly in Gainesville (GA) trying to think their Slick and Waste the Court's and Georgia's Time and Money at the same time. I would bark that for starters, I would like to see a Coast to Coast Dallas Carter Rule like in Texas where your not going to Waste the Courts and the Taxpayers Time and Money.

Emotions won't make it better and Georgia has a Bad Habit of Babying and Nursing Texas Grade Facilities without Texas Grade Results and Responsibilities. And, at some point, Georgia would command an NCAA Investigation like we hadn't seen enough.

I would get mad at Recidivistic Uses of the Transfer Portal, Actual Recidivism, Beetlejuice Decisions, and FORFEITS! (Among Other Things) and that is in the News Dump. Harder to find is having a Potential Stanley Cup Champion in the Future lead a State Championship in Football.

And, usually, Hoover Exes do not do better when the Grass Hits Green. We'd give more than Shaggy and Scooby Doo at anyone who'd be Fired or Hit the Road from Massillon and it is not Who I Am Knocking, but, How it's Done and Done Inappropriately makes me the Sports Fan Nervous.

If I where a Parent, having More Things than Toys at 13 would worry me! That is why we got out of the 1980's!

Stock Car Challenge Scoring Tables

 I promised you guys Last Summer that I would bring the Scoring Tables out for the Stock Car Challenge, my Equal to the Analog NASCAR Cup Series. And, as an aside to all the Legal Turmoils, I would not pick anyone involved in the Charter Madness or Frontfill Anyone who's Changing Numbers or Rides, and I doubt Corey Heim would be Wildly Happy Evolving into Ron Hornaday, Jack Sprague or Mike Skinner as without Further Ado, here is my Scoring Tables...

There aren't a Whole Lot of Forgive and Forgets at ESPN over Erin Andrews!

 I bet you that there are not a Whole Lot of Forgive and Forgets at ESPN over Erin Andrews or among ESPN Fans, either. I also bet you that even though the rhetoric has softened on my end through the years, but, I do not think Sports is meant to be a Bravo.

I am not an Erin Andrews fan, myself, and there are ways to meet Sister In Laws, Weddings, and Baby Showers, too. But, the nature of Sports is Male Dominated, even with more Different Women's Sports and LGBTQ + and the Championship of those Women, too.

What EA would bring is a Sharon Stonian Divaness to Sports that Sports is not at all prepared for. ESPN put a Lot of Time and Money into Erin Andrews's Early Career when it was more Down than Some Pontiacs.

Not every Sportswoman is a Diva, and I would howl if an HR Complaint from Certain Sportswomen would equal giving Someone Else the Almighty Boot from their League. What Sports is not is Steve Byrnes and Sterling Marlin, when Sterling Marlin was a Hair from UT before NASCAR and Nashville Fairgrounds, and Steve Byrnes's Sports Education was the Late Len Bias, or Muhammad Ali and Howard Cossell.

What I would howl about Via Jenna Laine, is if we had to waive an Antonio Brown because Pepsi or Nike would not be Comfortable with Antonio Brown Boomin' into NFL Facilities like a Wanted Criminal in the Old West. I feel what Sports is missing is Severe Proactivity, especially against Business and Actual Crooks say, as much as Politicians.

Breaking Up Kelly and Mark!

 I do not like how Live! has degraded into an Old Married Couple who's only existence is to Stay Married. I would feel from Beyond the Grave, the Late, Great Regis Philbin would barked up and down the Port for ABC Officials in not wanting another diva.

I would think this would be personal, especially when Live was having to keep its FCC License thanks to Reege and to make things worse, the Kathie Lee Mayhem tanked their Flyover Flagship KGAN Ratings and transferred them over to KCRG.

I didn't mind Live! Staying a Cedar Rapids show, but, I did mind Live! becoming a Waterloo Show where in a Market like ours, that makes a Big Difference! The continuity of Mr. and Mrs. Consuelos's Jobs where altered by "The Chew", which Mario Batali was "Chewed Out" of Employment and Society.

There'd be 10 Worse Things than Politics to bring up at the Family Table this Holiday Season, but, having WABC, the Flagship ABC Station, intervene and have circumstances too close and testy to home Split the Table.

The 40 Acres and Drunken Narcolepsy!

 I do not think that Texas or the Current State of Texas Athletics understood the Seriousness of Arkansas's 3rd Austin Ambush since Slick Willy Slip and Slided into and out of our Economy. I doubt Junior High Numbers or worse yet, West Coast Numbers would be appropriate on the 40 Acres. And, Steve Sarkisan's Response is to Break Twitter.

Texas A and M would be a Different Animal as it would be the 1st 40 Acre Hosting of the Fightin' Aggies since 2010 and the 1st Since DKR became an Actual Memorial Stadium of its own accord. I do not see a lot of things helm and or stern of the 40 Acres and Beyond.

Holding Education down is not one of them and I don't know how many of the Younger Californians would be lured home instead of having to Avoid the Irish Curse of being an Aggie or a Red Raider (Among Other Things.) 

And, it all goes South in a Big Way. And, Texas has not enjoyed a Conference Title since 2005, even though they've had 2 More Since Then more as a Get Off My Back. And, it doesn't help Texas runs deeper East of the Mississippi and that would shackle their Image Further.

The Calendar Mistake in Texas is Del Conte or Sarkisan are not meant to be Great Communicators. I would feel if anything, if Ice Hockey or Wrestling became Varsities, they'd have to take the Initiative to Come Up to Our Houses, especially in Unnervingly Untexan Weather, and sell not just Texas Swag, but, Texas Diplomas.

And, there is a Danger in Undoing the Finding Royal Years and not knowing what your House will be when it grows up, as we'd veer into the Unceremonious Booster Coup of Dismissing Mack Brown, and we wouldn't have the Older Generation or their Money on the Table soon.

Losing Handle and Spout On the Eastern Iowa Workmanship!

 What I feel hurt is my Hometown Rag, The Gazette goes from Daily to Part Time to Not Having a Local Telephone Number in 1 Calendar Year. I feel worse that Iowa would see any 20th Century Head Football Coach Walk Right Out the Door like Jane's Addiction like we didn't see Frank Broyles and Darrell Royal not tolerate Garbage.

And, the Handles and Spout on Eastern Iowa Workmanship is Lost and Losing. I would not like Big Ol' Fish, Scott Saville and Mike Hlas being Retired for One Reason or Another this Calendar Year. And, the Tolerance for Quality Education and a Level Playing Field is Lost.

I would not like or enjoy the fact all the Flour at General Mills is not going to solve Cedar Rapids Community Schools Debt Crisis. It wouldn't be a 4 Day Weekend Every Weekend, but, who is stable enough to Go to School to begin with.

I would sense Claustrophobia with no Long Term Replacement like it is a Permanent Drunken Narcolepsy. Or Binge Drinking. And nothing would have been done to stop the Wreck.

At some point, Replacing Kinnick, Carver and Banks would be Iowa Law. And Duane Banks Field, thanks to the Big Ten Network Money, have met code at times where they shouldn't.

11232025 College Football Poll

 Without further ado, here is my College Football Poll....

1 Texas A and M        7-0 12-0       11-29@ Texas  2  +1

This would be Arch Madness's Lone A and M on the 40 Acres Grounds, and I feel Texas is taking Arkansas and A and M with a Sense of Narcolepsy.

2 Indiana                   8-0 11-0      11-29 @ Purdue 1 -1

The Old Oaken Bucket would be a Rock Fight and it is More Of One when the Conference Title is Potentially in Town.

3 North Texas         6-1 11-1       11-29 Temple NR

Everyone in the 215 would rightfully be PO'd if they Miss a Bowl this Year!

4 James Madison    7-0 10-1     11-29 @ Coastal Carolina 4

James Madison is the Only Clear Remark (Sun Belt East) this late in the Season and Worse, Notre Dame is the Only Other Virtual Remark.

5 BYU                  7-1  10-1      11-29 UCF        13 +8

The Cougars have not been in any Conference Championship Game This Century

6 Notre Dame               9-2     11-29 @ Stanford  6

7 Virginia            6-1   9-2      11-29  Virginia Tech 14 +7

The Sports Fan and Humanitarian in me would want the Hoos to have a Permanent (Non Bowl) Year in their Building. The Ponies Fan, would beg to differ.

8 San Diego State 6-1 9-2       11-29 @ New Mexico 8

As it stands, the Aztecs would be the Only Pacific Coast State Team to be anywhere in the Card.

9 Kennesaw State    6-1 8-3      11-29 @ Liberty     NR

The Owls would be the Only Non 1990's or 2000's Club anywhere on the Board.

10 Western Michigan     6-1 7-4     11-25 @ Eastern Michigan 10

11 Ohio State                  8-0 11-1    11-29@ Michigan 11

12 Georgia                     7-1 10-2    11-29 vs. Georgia Tech @ Merecedes Benz Stadium 12

13 Texas Tech                7-1 10-2    11-29 @ West Virginia 3 -10

Texas Tech is only One of Two 1996 Big XII Members w/o a Title Game Appearance (Kansas) and the only one of two Southwest Conference and Prior Outrights without a Later Title (Arkansas)

14 Tulane                      6-1 9-2         11-29 Charlotte 16 +2

15 Western Kentucky   6-1 8-3         11-29 @ Jacksonville State 15

20 Oregon State           1-0 2-9       11-29 @ Washington State 20

A Cougs win would mean any kind of Postseason in the Palouse

*Next Week Will Start With Conference Title Cards*

Entitlement will Only Stir Up Our Witches Brew!

 The dangerous thing about Entitlement is it will only Stir Up Our Witches Brew! And worse, it has taken key Behaviors Underground that where never supposed to be taken Underground.

I would be happier with Antonio and "Touchdown" Eddie Brown on the Outside of Canton like Bill Romanowski and Darren Sharper for their Behaviors. Apparently, business needs to be Boomin' on its Lean Days.

Kanye West will either Run Out of Money or act out because he can't be insured to be in the Studio. True, he'd have more Arts Ties than Diddy, but, Alvin Ailey and Chaka Khan are the first ones to get nervous about his Behavior.

I would not like how Diddy left behind an Aspirational Climb for the Rest of the Neighborhood and the Theater Kids would get Angrier than Car Guys if you Criticize their Work. And, apparently, we are at a Very Low Bar.

I would not like Anger being a Common Bond, and I feel that Stability would be Necessary if we want to go Anywhere and Do Anything, period. I am all for Diversity, which our leech of a President has taken away, but, Ethics is something I can't negotiate with.

I would not like having Ladies having less Civil and Civic Rights than anything of the 1970's, and to make it worse, having to Expose Certain Areas of the Body just to get attention on Serious Matters only worsens them. Willy would have a Leroyian Hold on my Behavior in other areas, except instead of Cars, he'd be a Better Peacemaker, if not too good, a la Alan Eagleson.

And, Civic Engagement is a 300 to 400 Thousand Dollar Decision, and we are not doing that job by helping Coeds and Other Kids when they don't have a Choice to Start Out With. The rule in Politics is your Money has to be of your Own Will and your Own Pocket, which we are devasted to find on Either Side their is not a lot of it.

There'd be more responsibilities of an Athletic Department than when I was in High School, but, one thing's for Certain: Mom and Dad aren't one of them! I would rather not support another David Cassidy or Worse if I knew that's the Family I'm getting into!

This Little Piggy is Not Happy With Our Commanders-In-Chief!

 I'd wished that the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders would be the most Out of Your Mind Fastball of a Super Bowl ever without having to Lower Ourselves to the Current. This is not about having to be Out of Your Mind Football, but instead, having to step into an Out of Your Mind Vietnam Warcraft that not even the World of Warcraft could imagine.

What this Little Piggy is Not Happy with is Our Commanders-In-Chief! Ever since I've been 8, I complain Arkansas needs better Role Models for Kids, Dubya does not like to be asked about Odessa Permian, which he is a Midland Lee Era Alumni, Obama can Rally the Troops Better than Patton but never knows how to Do Business, Trump is not a Family Show, and Biden is a Recluse.

I shouldn't expect to root for Divorces like they are Pep Rallies. But, Child Development and Women's Justice still have a Hold on Me at 40, and there is a Wrong Way to handle Family Wars and you can ask Patrick Beverley about that, or his Lawyers.

As a Man, I'd complain bitterly it would be a That '70's Year and it is not all all right, and My Mom and Her Friends would weather the "Boys Will Be Boys" Poorly. I do not like in the scene where I'm from, there's No 4-H like Crissie would stay out of trouble and into Grinnell and Beyond better than Tim "The Toolman" Taylor.

I wouldn't be Charlie Brown either, if Dad fell for the Boys Will Be Boys trap, and my existence has not been that of Charlie Brown, either.

I Like Gary Putnam as Whelen Modified Touring Series Director!

 I actually like Gary Putnam as Whelen Modified Touring Series Director because for reasons, I feel that the Quality of Racing needs to go up. I feel that what was lost, amid other things, was having Stability in the Roles and it would get a Solid Look at the Dinner Table, but, Ole Blue wouldn't be Ole Blue if it was Subcontracted to Multiple Cars and Stars.

I would like to see on Martin Luther King Day, having to work on the Cars more than Off-Hours Fights would be welcome. I do not see Outreach in the 1st Division the same way ARCA has Outreach, and I would like to see a Busch North Rider to keep the Modifieds in Business.

It is not J. Lo, but, it would surely help keep people out of trouble and made the Earlier Modified Chest worth it.

11112025 College Football Commissioner's Classic Bonus Game Results

 For today, Veteran's Day, Commissioner's Classic, I have the Daily Results for Today's Commissioner's Classic, the Next to Last on the Slate for the Year and without further ado, here are the results:

Missouri 7-4 7 0 3 0-10 7-5

Illinois    6-3 3 7 0 7-17 7-3

@ St. Louis

This would be more Take Art Happy as Illinois never had a Win Over Missouri in College Football in St. Louis Ground.

3 Texas Tech 9-1 28 23 17 13-81 10-1

  Arkansas     2-7 0 0 0 0-0 2-8

@ Little Rock

This is not quite Charley Steiner being in the ESPN Kennel Permanently, but, this is Close.

Georgia 8-1 7 0 7 0-14 7-21 8-2

Clemson 4-5 0 7 0 7-14 13-27 5-5

We'd have 2 Suspect Meltdowns (Penn State and Clemson) this year and 2 Straight Years of Meltdowns when before, we had 1984 Pitt and 2000 Alabama.

Boston College 1-9 7 0 7 7-21 2-9

Penn State        3-7 0 0 0 0-0  3-8

Penn State would have gone from Nosing In on a Complete 1 vs. 2 (Texas vs. Ohio State) to Gifting More Losses and Northeastern United States Public Schools Self Esteem better than Saint Nick!

Memphis 9-2 0 0 7 0-7 9-3

Cincinnati 7-2 7 0 0 7-14 8-2

I would feel the River Cities Rivalries need to be Back on Full Slate Again!

The Flagship of the West is Teetering!

 After Cedar Rapids needed to pass a Bond like avoiding a Triple Bypass, which they didn't, I feel that the Exit Rate among Cedar Rapids's 3 Public High Schools from Graduations and Dropouts/Expulsions Combined is 2000. In 2013, it was 1100 per Public High School.

What is devasting is Cedar Rapids is the Total Child and what I feel Strongly About is Not Everything is a Massillon. Even though that would be Sage Words from Uncle Dave, but, having to Chase Mr. Buck out of Town and to follow that up with the Tragic Death of Noreen Bush leaving Mountains of Lost Energy around Cedar Rapids adds nothing to the Picture.

I can't deny as the Years Go On, what would be a Washington Culture or a Jefferson Culture Grows like a Weed Elsewhere and that is a Problem. What I'd Sense like Wynalda is Everyone Else is Going from Dirt to Full On Parks because Safety, Rules and Retention as opposed to Security, Rowdiness and Renovations.

I do not see New State or National Trophies in the Trophy Room near the Gymnasium like Before. And, having everyone get Out of Pocket Off Hours does not help our Shopping Options, as I'd seriously wave Saturday and Sunday Shopping Options ( and not just Food) in front of my Mom and Dad.

There'd be way too many that don't have options, and that is a Problem.

11112025 Commissioner's Classic of College Football Bonus Game Remarks

 Here are my Commissioner's Classic of College Football Games for Veteran's Day and without further ado, here is my Slate:

Missouri 7-4 vs. Illinois 6-3 @ St. Louis

This would be a Write In for the 30th Anniversary of the Dome (November 19th)

3 Texas Tech 9-1 vs. Arkansas 2-7 @ Little Rock

This would be a Bowl Rematch from Last Year (Liberty)

Georgia 8-1 @ Clemson 4-5

I thought this would be a Playoff Preview

Boston College 1-9 @ Penn State 3-7

This would be a Truer Grudge Match

and

Memphis 9-2 @ Cincinnati 7-2

The Middle Anchor of the River Cities Rivalries would be This Week.

Dropped Out:

10 Miami (OH)

14 North Texas

Opponent Sizing Up and Playoff Remarks:

1. Notre Dame Will Have Paint Cans the Rest of the Way.

2. Ohio State would have a Windsprint Until Indianapolis, which Michigan would be anything but, Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

3. Alabama would Put an End to Nebraska or Oklahoma's Claim to any Conference Championship in a 5 Year Window, the 1st Since Korea.

Callouts:

1. BYU and Meltdowns would be a Bad Habit.

2. Iowa State and Others would historically be Closer to Kansas City, and Drake and Northern Iowa would historically be Closer to St. Louis.

and

3. No One Is Remarked Playoffs Quite Yet, because I would feel it would be Easier with the SEC East.

What is the Ridiculousness in 13 to 30 Culture?

 I do not like how MTV gave "Ridiculousness" the Boot, all while handsomely rewarding Rob Drydek more than the Paramount CEO Bari Weiss through the Decades. I would feel a loss in the 13 to 30 Culture because it currently has nothing to offer of Style or Substance at this time.

Where it is is bringing McDonald's to a Potluck and worse, us Chefs at McDonald's would be strained beyond belief. And, speaking of Beyond Belief, the Originality has been Long Gone, especially if we are leaving nothing for Different Kinds of Women or People to feast on.

Frankly, I don't have to like everything, and that is Dangerous to take away the Cartoons and the Under 30 in one fell swoop. What we'd learn from "Bluey" is False Pretenses and worse, playing until you can't.

I can't understand why the Long Game is so nowhere like Herm Edwards or better yet, Mark Schlereth being allowed to be Dean to Mort's Report instead of being FS1 Duty. What Coaches and Teachers can't stand is Expensive Mistakes, not necessarily 30,000 Mistakes like Odessa Permian, but, enough of them to Change the Future for Ill.

110420225 Commissioner's Classic of College Football Slate "Referendum Day"

 Here is my Commissioner's Classic of College Football Slate, named "Referendum Day" to colorfully offset Election Day, for November 4th,2025.

Oklahoma 7-2 @ Nebraska 6-3

"State Pride"

The not so fun fact is we'd already have the 1st 5 Year Regular Season State Pride Hex Since Korea, and the 1st 5 Year State Pride Hex Period Since Korea is En Route.

MN-Duluth 8-1 @ Minnesota 6-3

I'd emphasize the Bulldogs and the Gophers in actual Minnesota Weather.

St. Thomas (MN) 6-3 @ St. John's (MN) 7-1

"Tommies-Johnnies"

I would have made it easy to be Summer Vacation, but, it would have also deserved actual Minnesota Weather.

Missouri 6-4 @ Iowa State 6-4

"Telephone Trophy" 

Matt Campbell or Eli Drinkwitz have never coached in the Analog Telephone Trophy Game and

SMU 6-4 @ Texas 7-2

I'd always bring in Ponies and Horns in Script.

Callouts:

1. We do not have that many options as far as the Regular Season is Concerned.

That may not be a Good Thing.

2. BYU would risk Collapsing Again like Last Year.

The Natives and Beyond in Provo would be Restless as they have Proven not to handle being a Major Program.

3. Virginia is en route to their First Outright Conference Victory in School History.

The Hoos have won Conference Before, but, never Outright and they are the Last 1980's Conference Member without an Outright Remark.

4. Texas Tech would leave Arkansas as the Lone Southwest Era Tally in Conference Titles

Texans are still mad at Arkansas for breaking up their Family, and Arkansas still is mad at SMU Generations Later and

5. Boise State has Emphasis on All or Nothing.

That would upset me because the Broncos have a Heisman Hangover from Last Year.

I'd Feel Mad About Not Having Mr. or Mrs. Everything's in Auto Racing!

 What strikes a nerve with me is how "Big Daddy" Don Garlits said that Auto Racing, particularly Drag Racing, does not have Mr. Everything's. I don't mean the Tony Stewart or the Kyle Larson types, but, the technical types.

It would be harder for the Kids to learn Technical Stuff when Cars go like K and N. And, we have a Better Chance for my Peers to be Criminal Profiles than Honest, Model Citizens.

I'd feel mad about not having Mr. or Mrs. Everything's in Auto Racing because, it would balance out the Behavioral Problems from getting a Pit Pass. A Pit Pass is not an All Access Pass and for those of us who want to Enjoy Motorsports, or at least have a Car, Driver and or Money to enjoy Motorsports, that would be frustrating on so many levels.

I would not like having so many "Bring Sponsor" Heroes Zero Out the Regional or National Fan Bases and to make it worse, it becomes a More Well Heeled Formula Ford. At some point, Ford is wanting to see Results.

The IT is great and helps with iRacing and other things, but, it is 0 Substitute for how we enjoy Racing.

Brian Kelly Got LSU Wrong From the Start!

 Ideally, Sunday Church decisions should be "Which Bowl Your School is Going to?" Instead of "Who's Going to Get Fired Today?" and Brian Kelly would have the most frustrating Coaching Career in College Football History.

LSU got this wrong with a Common Men's Basketball Trope on never Hire Someone Someone Else was going to Fire Anyway. Brian Kelly did not do himself any favors in getting Louisiana all Wrong.

Even Jerry DiNardo tried to get the Books and the Customs off being Grounded, but, Discipline always was a Swing and Miss. Nick Saban pushed Baton Rouge into Plateaus that they couldn't even imagine.

And, to top it off, even though they didn't go into Cholly McLendon School, but, Leadership in Louisiana is Badly Needed.

This puts Notre Dame in a Hotter Spot should they go and replace someone else.

Dropped Out:

7 UConn

9 Buffalo

15 South Florida

17 Southern Miss

Callouts:

1. The Wisconsin Man and their Family is Voting With their Wallets.

Not Good at all and even less good is the Student Section being anemic at Camp Randall

2. Florida can't keep having the Perpensity for Buyouts

Billy Napier is History, but, that doesn't mean the Gators can't keep throwing Money at the same problems and

3. Florida State should have Commanded an NCAA Investigation

Even less funny, and less amusing than Future Florida Leadership, but, I would have felt strongly a Collapse like Florida State's should have merited an NCAA Investigation.

If I Was the NBA Commissioner...

 If I Was the NBA Commissioner and I saw key players get caught Red-Handed in Sports Betting, I would be a Lot Stronger than Adam Silver. Adam Silver's Reax has been Weak Willed and Weak Armed to put it mildly.

Basketball would not be my Chief Sport, but, I would feel angered there is no one in High School or College who'd equalize Wemby even remotely. I would feel hurt that I can't find anyone better than Nepo Babies or Daddy's Cash.

In the World I'd be Raised In and a Lot of People be Raised In, too, your Last Name would be Trust or Scorn. Frankly, we have been way too tolerant than we should be.

The owners have always been resistant to putting ABA History in the NBA Record Books and the surviving ABA Heroes do not have that far to go, which is not good. I would want to have Healthier Relationships with the Inner City instead of Crumbing Memphis, which they earned Fair and Square like Des Moines and the State Fair.

I don't know if jettisoning Stern Sooner would have saved the Sonics from being Jettisoned, but, this is a Family Blog.

There is a Price for Being Sly on Sports Betting!

 There is a Price for Being Sly on Sports Betting! Gilbert Arenas would wind up 2 Striking his way to Federal Prison and Washington DC is a Federal Jurisdiction like the Indian Tribes and Casinos. But, Mr. Silver has let Professional Basketball's Moral Compass go all kinds of ways.

I would not like Oklahoma City defending, but, if Indiana where to defend, it would have been as Problematic as the Brady Bunch. Playing Basketball Great is a Privilege and that Privilege is Lost in the Narcissism.

What I don't see is Norm Van Lier yelling "EDUCATION" on the Chicago Sports Dial. I don't see Dr. Jack Ramsay be Preoccupied with his Next Role. We couldn't bet on Iowa Schools or Iowa Opponents in Sports Betting, which makes sense.

The only good thing about Indiana defending is that New York Series would have meant 10 Times More than it did.

Can You Not With the Pardons?

 With the Last 2 Presidents, every day seems to be like the Last 100 Days in Office. That is not a Good Thing. What does not help at all is encouraging Recidivism through and through the Community.

I would think that Xavier's Standing would have been hurt in Cedar Rapids if there where too many Troublemakers in the Student Body, and that would also hurt Education in Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa.

We'd make a Good Living at Not Thinking and encouraging the Problem Gamblers to put money back into the Schools by Gambling. And, the worst part of it, is it is a More Public Bar.

I would not and can not tolerate Pardons being based out of the Wrong. Even though Decaying in Prison would drain those of us on the Outside's Money, but, it is Safer than running Hog Wild through the Community, decimating Property Values and Quality of Life.

And, what would be scarier with the Young Republicans Racism, Sexism, and Collar Commissions is those should have been 40 Year Leaders and all they did was Bring Shame and Ruin the Chain before them. Public Office is a 300 to 400 Thousand Dollar Decision and they always Rush the Wrong People like Labor Day into those Offices.

The Chief Rule of Donating for any kind of Public Office is that your Own Money and Will, and having your Money and Time be of Reputable and Reliable Nature should be Paramount, but, it gets neglected too often to Count.

Sacramento State's Administration is Dragging Sacramento Education Down Big Time!

 Sacramento State's President is Unhinged and Angry and I would not be Surprised if the NCAA Wolves took a Southwest Flight from Indianapolis to find all that they are about. And, Bobby Hauck was not happy, to put it mildly.

I would not have minded Upsetting North Dakota State from a National Championship or Cashing Your Chips Yourself. That would only make everyone in Fargo-Moorhead angrier and more relentless than they are.

But, Sacramento State's Scene is a Prison Riot, and to make it worse, Folsom Prison is Only Down the Highway. The energy around Sacramento is No Joke, and it is becoming less of a Joke by the day.

If Troy Taylor didn't HR Himself out of a Job, it would have not Stung as Badly for the Hornets. The Letters A P and R would come up in Sacramento State Discussions and Daddy's Cash would play "Charge It to the Game" like a 2000 No Limit, only to strain Career and Revenue.

The rule is never go after a Man and His Family if they didn't earn it Fair, Square or Bad. I would feel a lot of people didn't like Sacramento State's Plan to Fundraise their Way Into the Pac 12, and that would have been flattened if UCLA and USC had a Pacific or Mountain Time Zone Slate. The NCAA had to be Rightfully Nervous about Sacramento State's Plans to be FBS, which they had no plans other than to Be FBS.

That would tie up the System Further than it has and the 16 who've been Transferred Since 2012 have not all had a Clear Mind or Soul on why they'd be there other than ESPN Reasons.

Class Goes A Long Way!

 I do not like when Someone Who Shouldn't Be In Charge is In Charge. It shows and proves nothing besides Lifestyle and having to avoid Legal Liens. And, as a Special Needs Gentleman who is Recently Back to Work, it hurts the opportunities available if Someone Else is Found Out to Be a Creep.

Money is Tight for a Reason, and that Reason is Character. I would be livid about letting anyone and everyone take Credit Cards out from me that they didn't earn at Home, and more livid about Technology, namely in the sense (DON'T DO THIS EVER!).

We'd have way too many Bad Habits and that opens the Floodgates for Better Criminal Profiles. I would think the Instant some of these Kids Drop Out or Get Expelled from High School, their Criminal Records would take off like a Rocket.

Developmentally, we are leaving very little if scant returns. Even a Good Post-Graduate Student would have 10 Solid Years of Work.

$2,000 of your Own Money is not an expectation if your Student Body Per Calendar, but, if your Family had to Press You to Work, that would barely dent anything and you'd have to Make Money Until You Collapse or Be Disreputable.

$2,000 of Your Own Money is better than trying to sneak $2,000 Worth of Sports Bets, because Telecoms are just as wise to Deadbeat Debtors as the Bookies. Casinos would not like you there just to be there for ESPN like a Sports Bar.

I would feel that a lot of my State's Casinos would degrade to a Sports Book and not a Casino. Social Services is Maxed Out like a Credit Card and just throwing Everything to the Kids may sound like Roses, but, there'd be Serious Thorns on the Outside.

Florida is in Bad Need of Discipline!

 I am not surprised that Billy Napier got the Boot. But, what I am suprised and angered about is that Florida has a Bad, Bad Habit of Gifting Undeserved Amounts of Money to People who deserved the Boot fair and square.

Florida is not Close to No Undefeated Season! Or No Rose Bowl! The tenets of Gator Football need to be Reset, especially if APR calls out a Postseason from Happening or the Enjoyment of Playoff Football at the Swamp!

These Settlements are not going to help Expand or Crosstrain these Gators. The Scooby, Dooby, Doo and Nothing have become more Tolerated in Alchua County than the Relentless Pursuit of National Championships.

What would be worse, is if they didn't hide their Shame or act as if it was a Family Show.

Callouts:

1. If your Going to Avoid the Terminator With An In-Season Firing....

...That does not mean that Option won't be Taken Away from you Later! I would feel the Public would catch on to In Season Firings in Succession or Short Succession, and that especially goes as Intensely as having to Throw Mad Money at Serious Buyouts.

2. Workarounds only Work if they are Done Correctly and Thoughtfully

It is very Blatant to See who is Doing Wrong, and it gets worse if Someone Needs "Stay Out of Jail" Money more than an Actual Job. That gets Very Dangerous and

3. If you Can't Ride The Bus, Your Not Going to School, Period!

That would be Heavyhanded, but, it doesn't help that Gen Alpha is Only Encouraged and or Encouraging the Chaos and the Scenery around it. Those Kids are not going to be any better on the Couch or In the Community At Large.

I'd Still Lose My Mind Seeing Hawkeye Downs be Dirt!

 I feel that I'd Still Lose My Mind Seeing Hawkeye Downs be Dirt! Problem is, it was Oriented as Dirt and made Blue Collar Cedar Rapids Comfortable and Relatable to us Insiders and Outsiders. 

But, I'd always known it as Asphalt and that would be the Michael Gelman saying "Here are your hosts, Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford" in that sense at Grandma and Grandpas, and that is an awkward adjustment.

Even in a High Class Downtown like Cedar Rapids, I could see Old Trucks with Bumper Stickers saying "Asphalt is for Getting There, Dirt is For Racing." 

I feel more and more, we'd miss having Stances for Reasons. But, you can't argue with modernizations, safety and comfort, either.

It will be 2 Weeks before I'd Pick Back Up My Commissioner's Classic Slate and I will have Dandies of Ball Games on the Slate!

Callouts:

1. Penn State and Florida State are Spiraling Nasty and Nastier!

Penn State had 0 Business Splitting the Complete Texas-Ohio State 1 vs. 2 and I'd feel Angry and Foolish for making Belief they'd leave a Split Single. Other than the SMU Ambush making them Delay having to need Buyout Money, but, the Problem Solving in James Franklin's Nittany Lions is Devastingly Bad where there are No True Assistants leaving Town to be Head Coaches and Every Year Since they've became Postseason Eligible Again, they'd be a more In Your Face Oregon in Delivering Huge in the Games that Don't Count and Making People Nervous around Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Bowls!

Florida State should scream the "I Command an NCAA Investigation"! Even though they'd pull The Terminator a Year Late, but, the Gus Bus's Joy Ride is No Joy for anyone, and it doesn't help that the Seminoles get Called Out for being the Worst Transfer Portal Washout Rate.

2. Kennesaw State has a Month Between Saturday Gamedays

It is Not MACtion, but, the glaring Bone in Kennesaw State's Slate is they'd go 41 Days Between Saturday Games. A lot of times, that would be Bowl Prep. But, no, it would be Saturday Gamedays.

3. Is BYU Mature Enough to Handle A Great Start?

I would feel this is a Rehash of Last Year, and we'd still don't get the Holy War Back to its Proper Final. I would think in Big XII Territory, there would be Serious Hocus Pocus that not even Kathy Najimy wants any Parts in losing to anyone and everyone, and Iowa State fans would be Rightfully Angry to Lose the First Tornado Warning in 15 Years, especially to an Undisciplined Colorado Buffaloes.

Handling Our History Should Be Better than Prison Labor

 I feel with the State Historical Society of Iowa's Move being Bungled as is, it does not help that Prison Labor is Called in. I would feel very strongly and very much emotional about Prison Labor because it takes away Opportunities to Enjoy Amana or Anywhere Else, Drains our Economy, and makes the Workforce less Safe.

I feel we'd be no better at the Hall of Pride, which became an omnibus to the Arena, and not saying the Well this Winter or the Road to the Well would be a Force of Habit that would have been needed to unlearn. I wouldn't like anything about Prison Labor when especially, we'd need to stock up on Jobs and there aren't people on the Outside to Get Them.

Heaven forbid, I'd have to be needed to raise money to keep your Stuff safe. And a lot of Places are "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, and Gimme" and to make matters even worse, people run the other way and for good reason when that goes down.

I feel that having to be 1st in Environment and 1st in Education would be a Long Slug, especially if we need Honorable Citizens in Both. The trouble is, the Current Administration doesn't even try to hide their Problems.

I would feel like the Only Adult in the House bringing up the Obvious, Obviously, but, I would not get a Friendly or Heroic Reaction.

It is Not A Glitch CBS News is a Serial Last Place!

 I'd be of an Age, albeit the Tail End of One, that you'd be a Certain Network Kid on the Playground. That would be more Prairie Era than Lisbon Era, and I would miss that stance. Speaking of stances, CBS News is a Serial Last Place and the Character in the CBS was Hard News and Safe Sitcoms.

Allegedly, we don't have either. Even in the Seasons after Moonves, the worst thing a Network could do is be Void of an Identity. What I would expect, even if we where still sanitized, is having Taglines that matter.

And, there not trying to subvert back to the Championship CBS, either. That would be in the 2000's when CSI came on like Gangbusters because ABC had a Long Held Policy of not holding their Own Show. 

It is not a Glitch that CBS News would be a Serial Last Place. And, avowing to when I got Nintendo in my House, I'd always lose it at the San Francisco 49ers over them being Superhuman.

The 49ers still are not a Tavern Favorite, and we'd decentralize, for Better or for Worse, from the Bar Scene. Speaking of Cereals, I would eat up having Originality, which is devastingly in Short Supply.

It's Not a Compliment the Twins are Dragging Minnesota Sports!

 I would feel nothing but Anger about how the Twins are dragging down Minnesota Sports, because, they are the "Everywhere" Team of the State for Good Reason. Speaking of Good Reason, they do not have the Worst Fixed Route to the World Series, but, there are Other Things that would Break the Levee worse than 1993 in Other Ways.

Being Tested Up Left and Right is not Good for Anyone. And, trading the Guy that would keep Money in your House Long Term has to hurt in more than 1 Way. And, it doesn't help that Royce Young came to Cedar Rapids like a Hurricane and done absolutely nothing with a Cedar Rapids Jersey Since.

We'd lose a lot not having our Elders or Merlins on the Family Table. Not only we would lose their Money, but, their Customs would be at a loss too.

Even though Minnesota United and Others may try, but, The Twins carry Public Opinion in Minnesota in the Summer and I could hardly imagine My Team (The Wild) don't have the Same Retransmission Agreement as The Jason Show or the Blues every Friday and Saturday Night.

Having to play Without Hope is Dangerous, and missing The Words "American League" or "World Series" Champion on your Literature is a Big Loss to everyone in your Territory.

AEW Is Going "All Out" Over the F1 Clause

 Since Mariah May, AEW is having to Go "All Out" on the Bad News, and what doesn't help is that Tony Khan would be "All Out" over Texas's F1 Clause in their Special Event Fund. What the Clause states, is No Show, No Money, and the truth in that matter, is that thanks to Circuit of the Americas, the Special Event Fund is More Rewarding Paid Ticket Sales.

Tony Khan has not proven Truth in Advertising. Speaking of "All Out", would we be "All Out" on Wembley or the UC, especially if for as much as Tony Khan is pumping affordable tickets Versus the WWE, but, Comfortability has Arena Promoters Nervous.

What would burn me up is the Serial Sagas that would Hull AEW out of a Next Season. As a Sports Fan, I would not like how Tony Khan played the Money Marks of Forbes to the Point they Went Against Him like a Serial NCAA Football Trick Play.

If anything came up like 3 Belts in One Pay Per View on AEW's Dial, people would be melting. But, one of the Chief Executive Officer issues is HOW Many Belts either are Planned, Issued or On the Shelf. I would not mind a $30,000 Bump just for the Belt, but with the Way Mercedes Mone is Trotting them, it seems to be Wasteful.

The Atlantic Coast Conference's Flagship is Grounded!

 There are No Ways Out in the South Atlantic that the ACC's Flagship, Men's Basketball, has been condemned as Grounded! Even though that would be a Mutual Play for Jefferson Pilot and WBTV, what would be more worrying is the Returns on Investment Coming Away from the Blue Bloods.

It doesn't help that we'd have a Decade Long Exodus of Hall Of Fame Coaches that kept the Money In The Conference. It doesn't help that their Deep South Counterparts in the SEC have nosed into not only Better Basketball, which became a Twitter Thread, to taking a Lot of The California and West Coast Olympians as theirs.

Bigger doesn't mean Better. And, how these Things are Done would Cost Texas Sized Amounts of Money that a Lot of these Bluebloods are not prepared to Lose. And, that is not mentioning any Postseason Bans.

Strength of Schedule only Works if You Win and it Helps a Lot More if the Team Your Playing is Postseason Eligible. I don't see the Word "Accountable" Help when Duke tries to Pass Deep into the 2nd or 3rd Weekend of the NCAA Tournament with No One Else to feed off of.

We'd be at or near the Bottom of the Preps to Pros Rate and I am shocked that some of these School Presidents have less Spine than those Behind the Actual President. And, Season Tickets and Merchandise is a Deeper Well than People Realize.

We Need Beano Cook Again!

 I feel with Paul Finebaum testing the Exit at the Worldwide Leader in Sports, we'd need Beano Cook again. A large portion of that is Civility and not just Winning at All Costs.

I would feel that one of the Annoyances among others is if your Favorite Program is Either Doing Something Great or Getting Into Great Big Trouble, they tend to go Radio Silent about it. And, Beano Cook was not afraid to Call People Out on the Summer Vacation Airwaves and it be News Immediately.

Even though he'd had 2 Checks (ESPN and the College Football Foundation), he'd did them Great. I would feel uncomfortable with anyone doing 2 Checks to Cover their Hyde on their Lifestyle.

What I would see way too much of is Lifestyle, and nowhere near enough the Hard Questions. Pablo Torre is doing Dale Hansen work and he is getting nothing for it except steering the NBA into the Clippers Kitchen again.

You can't change territory and I don't think the CW being more of a Glorified Jefferson Pilot is too pleased with trotting Beamerball out because they'd have nothing to offer but a Wedge and that is causing problems.

I don't see any of the California Majors having a Route to the Playoffs, which is Problem Causing for a Lot of People, especially if those People will not just be a Token Student Body, but, permanent representatives of their Future High School Alma Maters.

Callouts:

1. I feel Navy would look Civilian Against Non-Commander In Chief Competition

This would be Government Shutdown Related, and I would not necessarily Print Navy's Analog Playoff Ticket Just Yet, because it would be a Grind and then some to think On-Field Readiness for any kind of Playoff Appearance, which has never happened at a Commander In Chief School.

2. Connor Stallions (And Others) Snooping Around Job Opportunities

Any kind of "Show-Cause" is Serious, and 8 Years of Show Cause for Connor Stallions is a Problem on So Many Fronts, because, he can't do anything for a Solid Year of Hiring, which would make Human Resources wince and he has not proven he's been on His Best Behavior for Espionages. What would make me angry as a Fan is these Circus Hires who'd be Dismissed Rightfully snooping around areas that would have been Reserved for a True Minority, True Broyles Assistant, or a True Life HBCU Product, and that takes away what Program the 8 Year Olds would inherit the Instant they Become Student Body.

3. Nowhere Near Enough Is Done for Future Student Engagement

That would help with Kids who would not have any Idea of College, or worse yet, any expectation of a High School Diploma.

and 

4. The Quality of Live TV Games

I would feel that that would be a Problem, because I sense if the News Stories drag into the Actual On-Field Product, it is very upsetting. I would feel the Blood has not Pumped the Same Way and the Lack of Direction, particularly in Education Territory, has been debilitating. I would not like to be Distracted, and Heaven Forbid, if News Breaks into my Show, either.

Cheetah is Broken Beyond Repair!

 Tyreek Hill is Broken Beyond Repair and to make matters worse, the Miami Dolphins have no one to make them a Coast to Coast Model Franchise and National Powerhouse! I doubt the 2026 NFL Draft Class has anyone of remark to offer, and banking in on the UFL MVP would not be a Gift.

I would think anything and everything around South Florida would be Owed to an Identity, namely one that is Positive! If Buffalo finally iced over a Super Bowl Ring and a World Championship since Before the Super Bowl, that would make Miami fans Frosty and Angry!

There would be a Severe Remodel of the Dolphins, namely including the 3/4 Dolphin and the Florida Sunburst that many Fans Still Identify With.

Do A Full Body IROC Tour Again!

 I'd like to see a Full Body IROC Tour for Reasons, and they include Rewarding the All Time Greats and Weeding Out the Hype Machine. The Hype Machine is Worse than Drinking, and when it was done correctly and appropriately, it would be a Wonderful and Beautiful Thing.

Frankly, how'd I'd see it would be Restarting the Driver of the Year and you'd have to Earn Your Money on that. I would not tolerate anyone for "Just Because" because most of us Adults of Style and Substance are not that way.

I would think there'd be some significant Fastballs, IE having to Space Out these Races, and not have to spend copious amounts of Time and Money on Paint and Bodywork. I would think if I had to do a Slate, I would say Daytona-Talladega, Traditional Paved Superspeedway, Springfield or DuQuion, Paved Short Track, Dirt Track, Natural Terrain Road Course, Street Circuit and the Snowball Derby Weekend.

I would feel from 6, wanting to have Cars Again and not just Matchboxes or Hot Wheels is a Lost Art. Expecting Adult Responsibility or Responsibilities Later On rather than being another '70's Guy should be an End Goal.

It's Very Problematic to Have Extra Adults

 I would blush thinking about having Way Too Many Extra Adults more so than Actual, Honest 30 to 40 Year Community Fixtures. The Secret X is Trust and that would be taken away when you have Significant Amounts of Money for Short Term Work.

It bleeds into the Quality of Life of your Area and I don't see as many 300,000 to 400,000 Dollar Decisions and those Decisions need to be Done Correctly. And, keeping 40,000 People Happy is No Small Feat.

I'm Disabled and My Dad is the Chief Property Tax Bill Payer in Marion and it doesn't get any easier or better just to do Property Taxes when you have Fewer Homeowners to Pass the Jar With. And, I would have not minded doing a Better and Safer Version of Bender Pool in Cedar Rapids or Even having an Honest Summer Vacation Ice Hockey Rink in Marion.

Losing 2 or 3 Summers of Child Development again in the 2020's is nothing short of Horrendous. Losing them One Time was Rotten Enough and another Time would be even worse.

And, we'd ride the wave of Private Parochial School Gimmes to the point they'd be Roaches in the Neighborhood, and that causes problems for the Education System.

Bullpen Decisions

 This might not all be Baseball Related, just because the Creep of Postseason Baseball has crept in better than Garfield and his Birthday, but it has meaning. Just because we'd be responsible for Texas's Education because the Southwest Conference went bust still doesn't mean we are happy for it.

Instead, it has become accepted. I would feel a lot of College Students would be 15 Year People versus 40 Year People, and to make matters worse, they'd cater to that Scarcity. I would not like the Final 21 Score of everyone Born from 1995-2004 (The Turn of the Millennium) as it is worse than 1967-1976.

People take making and enjoying their Money very personally. And, it doesn't help My Uncle Bob's Pepsi Plant in Detroit is being Trimmed, as Voiding Pepsi out of Coca Cola Territory in Atlanta is very problematic to the Pepsi Fans there.

I feel there is reason why the NHRA is akin to a California Teacher's License. Even though we'd be Over the 18 Line in not having Wally Parks, but, that kind of mentality keeps Drag Racing and Motorsports safe and sound.

Litigation is never fun or easy! The best thing in a Serious Bullpen Decision is to Stay Out of Said Decision. I would think the Concert Market would go 500 Miles Per Hour without recourse or accountability, which is a Problem.

20 Western Michigan

Callouts:

Penn State is a Millennium and Century Long Hex Versus AP Top 25's

This Millennium Bug won't go away as they made their living, more handsomely than Judas Priest on AP Top 25's. I would not pin any Earned Money Playoff Berths on Penn State, especially if they have a Middle Aged Problem that's allowed to be Middle Aged and it becomes akin to The Family Guy.

I'd be Mad if Indiana does not See the Lucas Oil Red Bricks

Indiana is One of Three 2011 Big Ten Teams never to see the Inside of Lucas Oil Stadium, with Minnesota and Illinois being the Other Two and I'd have to see Results that Stick before I'd see Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame players land in Bloomington.

The Independents are Up for Grabs

This is a Problem, especially if Oregon State is Severely Emotional, Notre Dame can't just Bluff a System, and this could set up for a One Bid League

Vanderbilt could be Marked for their Earliest Postseason Clinch Ever

Not necessarily a Callout, but, what it would prove is playing January 1st and Later in Nashville.

Auburn needs to Freeze Freeze

Auburn's Beat Writers turned against Hugh Freeze, which is not at all a Good Sign if your Counting Active Money.
