Next Week will be Referendum Week for the Commissioner's Classic
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.
Here are my Commissioner's Classic Slate for October 28th, 2025 and without further ado, here is my Slate....

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 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! 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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

18 Southern Miss
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.
In response to Antron Brown calling out Tony Stewart for Trick Parts, I would feel that People do not like Losing Anything, Period! From the World I would be Raised In, that would be a Cardinal Sin and a Federal Crime.
But, since the National Event Trail came Online in 1981, this Summer from Top to Bottom has been Way Too Hot to Handle. With Shawn Langdon's Richmond Disqualification leading to Bad Riddance to that Property, especially after John Force got Stopped, and Tim Wilkerson losing his Mind over the Tethers and among other things, Seattle losing their Head over 11 Money Class Cars There Period.
I would not like Monster losing an Ambassador after Brittany Force's Maternity Leave. The school of thought for Sponsors is Stick to an Ambassador rather than have Horrible, Horrible Jokers. I don't think most Adults would like to be Redirected to a "Stick to Sports" Ethic, and that would be People, not just Sports Fans.
Having no one to Sell Tickets around Long Term causes more Problems than it Solves, and I would On Board a Solid 5 to 6 Pro Stock Cars just to Buffer KB Titan and Elite. There have been Plenty of Heady and Nasty Rivalries, but KB Titan and Elite Locking Horns and the Matter they Lock Horns takes the Cake.
Without further ado, here is my College Football Poll for September 21st, 2025...

Dropped Out:
4 NC State
13 Houston
15 Memphis
18 Bowling Green
19 Old Dominion
Callouts:
1. Arkansas is Making Mid Major Losses a Major Habit
It would be atrocious to nearly Gift Hugh Freeze's Frosty Liberty Flames a Rose Bowl or even a Playoff Berth, but, there has to be all kinds of Uncalled for to Lose to Memphis in the Liberty Bowl.
2. Is the Red River Shootout Shot?
I feel this would be an Honest Question as Oklahoma spotted Auburn a Hide and Go Seek Play and Texas has done nothing with Arch Madness. I would think the Post-Shootout Returns have to be Emptier and Embarrassing.
3.Collecting the Bag for 3 Different Presidents with No Results
We are not back to where we'd be on 3 Different United States Presidents, where if we had 5 Years, 6 Years Honest, it would be better than Transferring Over and Over and making your High School Coaches nervous. The filter, which is worse, is having Extra Adults as opposed to Community Pillars, Beacons and Pedestals that would be 40 Year Pillars and 30 Year Mortgages that didn't just Backfill.
I do not like how 7 Iowa High School Football Teams have either Forfeited Games or Cancelled their Season Altogether for Low Numbers. And, with Remsen St. Mary's being a Defending 8 Man State Champion, that breaks a whole different wall Drywall Can't Even Dare Repair.
Thankfully, none of the Lost Games have happened against my Alma Mater Lisbon. But, back in 2017, my Reactions where angry when Starmont forfeited Several Games due to Low Numbers. And, it's not as Salacious as Other Ports, but, I would lose it if Homecoming had to be Tabled for Any Reason, and I am a Long Hard Way from 18 or 19.
The usual Platitude, from Wrestling Fans is "How Many More Next Years?" But, Remsen St. Mary's is already Selective, even with the ESA, and aside from that, not having the 9th Game in Small Town, Small School Iowa hurts the Revenue Worse than they lead.
Homecoming is the Only "Figure" Game for a Lot of Schools, and this would not be anything close to Texas.
I do not like Performative Masculinity for many reasons, especially when People, especially Women, have been burned Silly by Those 1970's Guys. Frankly, it is not silly or funny when Child Development becomes Iowa Law, but, there is a Deeper Purpose.
I do not think Joan Didion likes her Personal and Professional Space be inundated by Perverts. She already is a Hermit and a Recluse and the worst thing for Someone's Work to be used is a Commission of a Crime or a Felony.
I would think these Women Artists, particularly the Harder Women Artists, like their Spaces inundated. I don't think Stadiums or Arenas would be Comfortable with anyone, and these Festivals would be ill-equipped or ill-handled to anyone who is not Fully Healthy and Happy.
A lot of these Gals are Tougher than My Dad and that is not a Compliment. I should not be bringing up something that would be Outlawed at 5, but, the truth is galling and nerving.
Not to mention if there are Perverts and Creeps in the Fold, but, worse yet, no Rational Man or Workforce cares or is interested in being a "Nurses Station". I would think it would make a Better Criminal Profile than that of having to be Iced Out of Therapy for Behavior Reasons, which would start the Law Enforcement Portal in a Huge Way.
And, I would feel in a deeper issue, we'd be pushed into 300-400 Thousand Dollar Decisions Over and Over with no Interest in getting pulled in that corner, either.

And, in closing, I would not like Notre Dame's National Championship Hangover because it would Buckle the Independents Bid Down and the Hangover could later lead to a Collapse.
Final Four Results
16 Drake 29 28-57
1 Tennessee 28 22-50

2 Gonzaga 20 20-40
And, the National Championship would ensue an MVC Territory Rivalry between Drake and Creighton in the Last Game of this Project and the Mannerism MVC Era Creighton had was always Sunday Afternoon or Tuesday or Wednesday Night Games, but, the Big East Era Creighton has always been roped into Saturday Night Games.

16 Drake vs. 4 Creighton

I feel with Aaron Lewis, what bothers me is Kid Rock is Not the Guy to Trust! Kid Rock would have had Waylon Jennings Talent and then some, but, instead of the Diabetes and Anger, its always Indifference and Apathy.
People would have hard feelings about the Worst Post-TNN Calendar (Since 1984) in Country Music. And, what TNN, or better yet, Gaylord helped, is make Country Music and Nashville Marketable to Families.
Think of this way, it would be a Bigger Version of the Chicago Radio Dial, First Thing in the Morning to the Last Thing at Night. I feel that the Industry Still Runs from Maren Morris as She Has a Lana Del Rayesque Aura, except, Radio Stations where more tired of putting her Music Everywhere more than Britney Spears.
I like Aaron Lewis's Work Ethic, but, I do not like his Choice of Words. Joe Rogan would be more of a Death Penalty for Public Opinion than that of Howard Stern, and he'd be living a Handsome 33 Million Dollars a Day for His Work, and he'd take being a Hermit or a Recluse to the Extreme.
What's Scarier is Country Music and Nashville would have to make Harder Cuts than the Grand Ole Opry at the Turn of the Millennium. Promoters do not like Beer Tosses, or Burnt Bridges at all.
For this Weeks College Football Poll, the Starting Line is Actual Conference Games, and Western Kentucky- Sam Houston State would be the Only and Less Publicized Conference Game on American Soil and Without Further Ado, here is my Poll.
1 Western Kentucky 1-0 1-0 8-30 North Alabama 13 +12
What I like around the Hilltoppers is that they'd win the Only Conference Game on American Soil This Weekend.
2 Iowa State 1-0 1-0 8-30 South Dakota NR
Iowa State enters the Poll with a Farmageddon Win over Kansas State. I would not like missing the Manhattan Round of the Rivalry for a Significant Amount of Time, but, Kansas State having their Quarterback's Family resort to Violence is a Problem which being Jilted by both TCU (Home Cooking) and Will Howard leaving Town to be a National Hero would anger up the Blood on the Purple Prairie as they are the Only 1980's Conference Member without an NCAA Championship anywhere in their House.

Dropped Out:
11 Texas Tech
15 Colorado State
And in closing, here are Some of my Other Callouts:
1. Michigan State is not the "Big Money, Little Results" Champion, but, they'd have a Worse Habit of "Big Money, Bigger Litigation" Champion.
2. Stanford is the Worst Money that I could ever remember and
3. USC's Last 3 Full Time Head Coaches (Kiffin, Sarkisian, and Helton) have been Midseason Replacements, which Cheapens the Luster of not only USC, but, USC-Notre Dame.
Without further ado, here is my 2026 Stock Car Challenge Slate and the M's are Remarked as Majors and my Methodology is wanting to do a Lucas Oil Styled Crown Jewel Series.
1 M 2-15 Daytona 500
2 3-29 Martinsville
3 4-4 Hickory I'd keep Hickory around for Busch Grand National Reasons
4 M 4-7 Long Beach I am Big Hurt that the Cup Series is not doing Los Angeles
5 M 4-12 Bristol The Food City 500 would be a Coast to Coast Double Major
6 4-26 Talladega
7 5-3 Texas
8 5-10 Watkins Glen I doubt anyone in New York State would like to be ripped from their Post
9 M 5-17 All Star Race Dover I'd rather the All Star is Back in Charlotte
10 5-24 Coca Cola 600
11 6-21 San Diego The only good thing about this is the Trucks get to go back to their Home Southern California Turf.
12 M 6-28 Sonoma
13 7-19 North Wilkesboro Way too many 2-3 Year Venues on the Slate
14 7-21 Eldora I would start my Road to the Brickyard 400 with Eldora
15 7-22 Winchester Reinforcing the USAC 2-2-2
16 7-23 Anderson One of the Toughest Venues in Sports
17 7-24 IRP I am holding on to the Kroger 200 Coming Back like a Grudge

19 M 8-12 Springfield Mile
20 8-15 Richmond
21 8-23 New Hampshire Back in the Summer

I will bring up Pit Crew Competitions and Other Points Remarks at another time and place.
With today being the Day where the North Stars in kind Retired Numbers Meet (8 and 19) and the Reason Why Minnesota Coaches don't like issuing any 8 or 19 on Ice, I would feel Sports History Should Be Preserved.
I don't mean everything, but I feel that it should be Preserved and Honored. I don't think anything would be done Politically Currently, as Plenty of Nothing would be the Expectation.
What I would not like is having to Pull Teeth on why Houston Oilers History should be Repatriated, especially when the Luv Ya Blues are in Ill Health.
And, the people that made Grambling Grambling Can't Go Anywhere. I would not like Capos or Impersonators running amok, as Social Media has weeded out the Screening Process or Processes.
I would scream that it would be a Solid Year Without Agent Zero, Scott Bloomquist, and in Dirt Late Model Racing, we'd have 3 Whole Career and Life Defining Suspensions (Taylor Farling, Bob Gardner and Cade Dillard) and nobody has tried to check the Car Counts from Beginning, Middle and End.
Where Dirt Late Model Racing is Lost Without Agent Zero is having no Commander to Hold People Accountable. The East Tennessee Tracks would have a Better Policy and or Policies on Fighting or Other Arrests because they where tired of their Names being Drug in the News and Newspapers, among other places.
I would rather take someone from Lucas Oil to Cup, but, that would be a Longshot in Both Worlds. Where the World of Outlaws has lost their Ever Lovin' Mind is trusting Hulk Hogan before he Died, and the World Racing Group hasn't had a Good Track with Long Term Sponsors.
That would hurt the Dirt Late Model field, which the ASA's Revival would lap them, where for a Long Time, it was Out of Sight, Out of Mind except for the Courts. And, Spencer Hughes's Legal Problems would be a Serious Uninsurable if he's Not Guilty.
I feel not having the Deerys would dim Dirt Racing in Eastern Iowa, which that would be the Only thing anyone in Eastern Iowa would agree on.

I feel that the Huge Social Problem is Delaying Big Bucks, or the Social Responsibilities that Come With Those Big Bucks, Costs Big Money, too! The people that are Either On the Job or Looking For Work are Working Harder than Before Only to Make Up the Difference for Everyone Else.
I am not One to Just Have a Baby or Babies to be the Bigger Adult, instead, that is the Most Public Bar Exam there is. What I feel is Intoxicants are more Encouraged than the 1970's and Worse, we'd lead Headier and Edgier Lifestyles than the 1970's.
And, what these Influencers Expose is the Difference between Paper Thin and Paper Mache. Paper Thin would be having to keep up your Lifestyle and it catches up to your Work and Paper Mache would be your as Good as Your Status.
People would be Angry to be Called Down and for Good Reason. Paper Thin is Bad, Paper Mache is Worse and the Latter, there is no nothing on the Bandwidth's End to Show if they are Good People.
I feel that there are too many $400,000 Mistakes and Chief Among Them is Dropping Out of High School. Fair Warning: You Won't Get Your "Other" Senior Years!
What I would see Out of New Artists or Entertainers is Generally, On Average, they'd be Closer to 2 Years before things Bust than 5 Years. I do not think A and R's like to Search Indefinitely.
Being Expelled or Run Off would be a $800,000 Mistake and that would immediately Put Everything You'd Do Right Into the Criminal Justice System.
Education is Expensive and Help is NOT Indefinite! Even if we had "Everything for the Kids" Like Wisconsin, we'd still have to be Hawkish about HOW The Off Hours would Handle.
I am calling out of the Weeds the 10 Worst Entertainment Series Contracts on TV Right Now and they are All Time Great Problems:
1. Family Guy being the Most Expensive Show on TV
This is not a Compliment and to make matters worse, Seth McFarlane is Blackballed from the 25 Episode Season and for 10 to 15 Episodes, his Crew is Bigger Divas than Some Superstars, and that is Saying a Lot.
2. Sabrina Carpenter being Responsible for a Multi Season Rachel Green for Her Aunt
Nancy Cartwright did not become Bart Simpson until around Sabrina Carpenter's Age. And, The Simpsons still is not a Favorite of Dayton Dials. What bugs me is having to wave not only One Rachel Greens, but 4 as a Glorified Tax Shelter because Fox Knows they'd have a Short Leash.
3. Grey's Anatomy With Donor Parts
Grey's Anatomy is the Most Expensive 25 Episode Series and to make matters worse, it is all Donor Parts!
4. The Smackdown Problem on Fox
Fox Lawyers had to Stand their Ground on Vince McMahon, and that leads to a Multi Year Crutch of having an Open Friday Night, which feels more Canned than Exciting.
5. How Many More Big Bang Theories Should We Go Through?
The Post-Moonves Engine of CBS is having to Inundate Us with More Big Bang Theories and to make it worse, actual Series Development or New Series are Nowhere to be Found.
6. Are some of these Auto Racing Coverages Worse than your Local TV Station?
This is Serious and I feel a LOT of Auto Racing Coverage would Coast on Graphics. I would feel when Sir Jackie Stewart or Peter Hobbs came on your TV for Anything, it would be an Actual Event. Instead, Leigh Diffey does not exude that same Goodwill.
7.How many More Bachelors Should We Go Through?
The Bachelor has Increasingly been in the In Crowd, as the Inauthentic Crowd. Monopolizing Actual Series Developments because of the Writers Strike only worsens the Ink Blot.
8. Bravo Territory was not intended to be Territorial
No thanks to St. Louis being Bravo Territory, like Bigfoot and Cardinals Territory, when it should be Class and Independent Movies, that keeps Cable and Telecom Companies Books Straight. But, I think 2023 Related Overuse would dull what Advantage Existed.
9. Who and What Recourse Does Disney have around the WWE?
I feel this would be a WWE needs the Money Issue more than Disney being Comfortable taking in more Mirimaxes at a Worse and Lower Rate. No way are you going to Replace Big Monday or Super Tuesday, and less way are you going to do that with Luring Raw is War Back on TV AND
10. Raw is Dark makes Netflix Darker!
I do not think Raw being Dark helps WWE or Netflix. Instead, it encourages and legalizes the Underground Behavior better.
Sheffield Wednesday is Emblematic of Soccer's Problems and it would be 13 Years Almost after Sir Alex and the Cultural Problems are Only Getting Worse. I would feel a Large Portion of their Money is tied up in Contracts, which is A Huge Problem.
And, to make matters worse, for as Much Money has been pumped into England and making some of these Places Tourist Traps, there are Places that are Actual Traps. And Hillsborough would strike Fear into Older Sports Fans, for good reason.
I don't think there is a Line for Sheffield Wednesday and the Tax Liens and the Other Things would take away from them actually having Players. A lot of the Money that would transpire into English Soccer would be ours, and that causes problems Worldwide.
If you ask someone to Crowdfund their Cause, people would go through enough and the Instant between 12 and 13 would equal your responsible and an Adult more So than 18. And, most Kids don't seem to grasp that Bastion of Situational Awareness.
I don't know if we'd do Enough Hard Copy Sports at Home, but, the Tabloid Fire has started in the UK and devolved Sports Coverage Worldwide.
I would feel Drake is the Chief Co-Conspirator of why Toronto is being Relayed Out of Big Bucks! Justin Bieber is too, but, everyone in the GTA is Nervous about Him in Society. I would feel less cool with a Real Life "Alright, Alright, Alright!" (Matthew McConaughey Voice) and more intrusive version of his Famous Character.
What I'd get mad as a Consumer is Drake even trying. Even Jay-Z Changed and he'd be the Horse compared to Dame Dash. Dame only wanted the Sports Car. Drake is the Motorcycle.
And, problem is Motorcycles don't change for Better or for Worse. Alimony and Palimony tend to get Very Expensive and they do not lead to Good Futures.
I'd still be Mad about "Not Like Us" not being on No Wax, but that is a Separate Issue.

National Championship of College Football XXVII Minneapolis, MN
7 Tulsa 7 0 7 0-14
5 SMU 3 7 0 7-17
Without further ado, here is my 1st College Football Poll of the 2025 Season.
1 Missouri 8-13 @ 2 Kansas
I'd Start With Missouri because I would feel that I would like to see Potentially 3 Border Wars in the Same Year as DMX Albums.
2 Kansas 8-13 1 Missouri
Missouri, Kansas and Iowa State are the Only Big 8 Teams without an Ensuing Postseason. And Kansas and Texas Tech are the Only 1996 Big XII Members Without a Conference Championship Game Appearance.
3 Northern Illinois 8-30 Holy Cross IDLE
I'd base my decision for Stop the World on Last Year's Notre Dame Victory
4 Kennesaw State 8-29 @ Wake Forest IDLE
The Owls would be a Solid Pick in Conference USA
5 SMU 8-15 17 Rice
I would feel that the Ponies are Due for A National Championship, Heisman Trophy and a Takeover of Valley Ranch.
6 Hawaii 8-12 Mt. Union (OH)
Hawaii would be the 1st Slate of the Season and I'd start with a Defending Champion or an Honorable Team at Hawaii.
7 Tulsa 8-13 18 Ohio State
I'd like Tulsa's Mayor who'd be a Tulsa Golden Hurricane Alumnus.
8 Iowa 8-30 Albany IDLE
I would want Iowa to Win the Big Ten so that Passing Woody Hayes was not in Vain.
9 Notre Dame 8-31 @ Miami (FL) IDLE
Catholics vs. Convicts.
10 Georgia Southern 8-30 @ Fresno State IDLE
I would take Georgia Southern because they are a Dangerous Playoff Team and Proven It.
11 Vanderbilt 8-30 Charleston Southern IDLE
My pick of Vanderbilt would be because most Everyone Else in SEC Country has been in the Headlines.
12 Texas Tech 8-30 Arkansas Pine Bluff IDLE
The Red Raiders are One of the Two Southwest Conference and Prior Conference Hexes Still Going.
13 Miami (OH) 8-28 @ Wisconsin IDLE
The RedHawks would be a Reliable Championship Team.
14 Western Kentucky 8-23 Sam Houston IDLE
The Hilltoppers Would be Tough to Beat
15 Louisville 8-30 E. Kentucky IDLE
The Cardinals would look the Part of an Earned Playoff Team
16 Colorado State 8-30 @ Washington IDLE
I would like to See Colorado State be Cool Again
17 Rice 8-15 @ 5 SMU
The Owls are the Only Southwest Conference Team not to Return to a Major Conference
18 Ohio State 8-13 @ 7 Tulsa
I'd feel the Buckeyes would back into their National Championship and it shows
19 Washington State 8-30 Idaho IDLE
The Palouse is a Pullman after Idaho returned to the FCS and
20 Louisiana 8-30 17 Rice IDLE
The Ragin' Cajuns are Sun Belt Favorites
I would feel On Edge as a Society if we had a Bachelor President. For starters, our Economy would Just Lose It and I would be Picked from the Couch to Work. The thought of having a President run like Barry Switzer's Oklahoma Sooners would be Problematic.
People would have a Triple Bypass if We'd Go Further Down the Tubes on Class and Luxury. And, I would think that Our President does not care or has no interest caring is Worrying.
What would bother me is Bouncing Off the Walls from Plenty of Gimmes to Plenty of Nothing in One Fell Swoop. We'd be more Out of Hand than Dennis the Menace and People Won't Take Scumbags in their Fold.
We Can't Hide that Mr. Trump is a Worse Magician than he is a Person, and his Kindergarten Cop Methodology is Wearing Us Out, especially when we'd already be On Edge on Preparedness like another Vietnam.
Having too many Low Blows causes way more Problems than they Solve, especially when we'd have nothing on our own.
If a Leader has an Unhealthy Fixation for Young and Hip Women or Straight Up Menaces in the Studio, that is a Problem. And, allegedly, it's not Child's Play When Adults Do their Jobs Correctly.
I would Scream at Those 70's Vibes (I'd Be Born in 1985) and instead of Different, or Even Different and Better Adults, we'd fall into a Trap. What you can't repair is Reckless.
We'd run into the Turn of the Millennium like we'd Run Out of Generation X. (Allegedly, we'd rush what's left already and leave me and My Peers with the Circus like Barnum and Bailey).
I'd like the Longtime Wisconsin Man "Everything for the Kids" Vibe when things Got Edgy. The problem in that, is Kids don't see Other Kids be interested in Harvard or Yale.
I don't think we'd benefit with Keeping Cartman Around. Even though Certain CBS Affiliates wanted to Go Back to Local Programming instead of Colbert, but, what's certain is a Healthy Last Place 5:30 and the Evening News would be More of a Fighting Word than Now.
I'd benefit finding the Next Toolman, and what would be a Crime is having to Outlower 2009, and the Spinelessness in Letting Go of Doctor Odyssey was Swarmy, and that's putting it mildly.
One of the Worst Character CBS Moves Post-Moonves is keeping any Version of "The Big Bang Theory" around in Space.
