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. Without further ado, here is my Conference Championship Slate and Independent Remarks...

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...

Coming up Later would be my Initial 2026 Preseason Non Litigant Stock Car Challenge Family 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

16 Pitt                           6-1 8-3          11-29 Miami (FL)  NR

17 Toledo                    5-2 7-4          11-29 @ Central Michigan 19 +2

18 Boise State             5-2 7-4        11-29 @ Utah State            18

19 Southern Miss         5-2 7-4        11-29   Troy                     17 -2

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

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

  Arkansas     2-7 0 0 0 0-0 2-8

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.

11022025 College Football Poll

1 Indiana             6-0 9-0   11-8 @ Penn State      1

19 Buffalo                 4-1 5-4 11-12 @ Central Michigan NR IDLE

20 Oregon State        1-0 2-7 11-8 Sam Houston NR

Dropped Out:

11 Cincinnati

16 Tulane

17 Troy

18 Ohio

20 Washington State

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.
