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.

Dropped Out:

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.

People Do Not Like Losing Anything, Period!

 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.

20 Western Michigan  1-0 1-3 9-27 Rhode Island NR

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.

FORFEIT?

 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!

 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.

Kid Rock is Not The Guy to Trust!

 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.

08242025 College Football Poll

 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.

20 Minnesota                   0-0 0-0     8-28 Buffalo             20

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.

2026 Stock Car Challenge Slate

 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

18 M 7-26 Brickyard 400

19 M 8-12 Springfield Mile

20 8-15 Richmond

21 8-23 New Hampshire Back in the Summer

22 8-29 Daytona Still Want it to be July 4th

23 9-2 DuQuion Mile

24 9-6 Southern 500

25 M 9-22 Knoxville

26 9-23 Boone

27 9-27 Kansas

28 10-25 Talladega

29 11-8 Miami

30 11-15 Nashville Fairground

31 M 12-6 Pensacola

I will bring up Pit Crew Competitions and Other Points Remarks at another time and place.

Sports History Should Be Preserved

 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.

The Zero Tolerance Policy Report

 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.

Delaying Big Bucks Costs Big Bucks Too!

 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.

Making Too Many $400,000 Mistakes

 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.

The 10 Worst Entertainment Series Contracts

 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

 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.

What I'm Not Cool With Drake Relaying Toronto Out of Big Bucks!

 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.

08012025 College Football Poll

 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

What to Do if Sooner Magic and the Commander In Chief Crossed Paths?

 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.

It's Not Child's Play When Adults Do their Jobs Correctly!

 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.

07252025 Commissioner's Classic Bonus Games for November 18th

 Next Week will be my Double Feature of the College Football Preseason Poll and Preseason Playoff Predictions, as without further ado, here are my Bonus Games for November 18th

Louisville 13 8 0 7-28 13-41

Texas A and M 10 0 7 0-17

@ Arlington

Does the UFL Care at All?

 I am casting an Open Callout on Does the UFL Care at All? I feel Jettisoning the USFL Division is an Embarrassing Cry for Help and that would make the Pro Football Hall of Fame be an Intermediary.

I would not be happy the UFL Only Exists for Fox, and that's just being Sly. Speaking of Sly Foxes, Fox has No Plan with the Smackdown Slot.

What is Criminal is the Arena Football League is in No Hurry to Return, especially after the Fiasco of the 2024. I would be livid about the Lack of Development Zones and I would think the Non Division I Gateway from 2024 would be longer than 2019.

In reality, Next to No One Outside the Football Bowl Subdivision had any Games in Calendar Year 2020 and the continuity is a Thorny Issue. 

07182025 Week of November 11th Commissioner's Classic Bonus Games

 This would be my Mockup of the Veterans Day Slate of Commissioner's Classic Bonus Games and there'd be No Let Up on the Intensity. And, without Further Ado, here are my Results...

Missouri 10 0 0 7-17

Illinois    7 3 3 7-20

@St. Louis

Not only is it the 30th Birthday of the Dome, but, it would solve an Analog Never where Illinois has Never Won in St. Louis against Missouri.

Texas Tech 13 7 7 0-27

Arkansas   0 7 0 7-14

@ Little Rock

These would be the Last 2 Southwest and Prior Conference Hexes dating back to the Old Southwest Conference and Texas Tech would make Everyone in the Southeast and Southwest sharpen their Strategy.

Georgia 10 0 3 0-13

Clemson 8 3 0 3-14

This would be a Potential National Championship Preview if Done Properly 

Boston College 10 7 7 0-24

Penn State         0 0 0 0-0

This Matchup would be More Consequencial than that of Penn State and Syracuse.

Memphis 7 0 0 0-7

Cincinnati 0 0 7 7-14

I would still feel the River Cities Rivalries should be Annual and In Conference.

If You Know Your Crazy Uncle Can't Work at a Family Brand, He Shouldn't Be Doing High Level Discussions

 Nothing gets under my skin like Conference Realignment and NIL. And, as a Public Service Announcement, if your Crazy Uncle Can't Work at a Family Brand, he Shouldn't Be Doing High Level Discussions.

Instead, that would make the Public Howl at the NCAA, which would have Nightmares and then Some of the 1970's and 1980's. As a Fan, I would be a Stickler about wanting NIL to be Repurposed for Building Programs from Nowhere or Elevating Club Sports to Varsity.

Usually, if Someone Transfers Serially or Has No Respect for Women's Sports, or Even the Actual Women's Community, they are not worth your time or your money. High Level Discussions Exist for a Reason, and that Reason is Not Everyone Gets Involved in them.

Alarmingly, we'd have too many "Too Cool for School" Characters and not enough Serious Book Craftsmen and Craftswomen to count. Student Loans would Drain the Moneymaking Abilities of these Places and People Want to Enjoy their Teams and Windsprint through the Future like the Drake Relays.

07112025 Week of November 4th Commissioners Classic

 I promised everyone 2 Weeks Back I'd Bring the Commissioner's Classic back after the July 4th Sojourn and I am delivering and without further ado, here are my Mock Results

MN Duluth 7 0 3 0-10

Minnesota 0 8 0 3-11

St. John's (MN) 0 7 7 0-14 13-26

Iowa State 8 3 0 3-14

"Telephone Trophy"

Oklahoma 10 0 0 0-10

Nebraska 7 3 3 0-13

SMU 10 7 3 3-23

Nebraska's Sellout Streak is On Life Support!

 Nebraska's Sellout Streak is On Life Support and that is a Problem! I'd know it would be a Problem when no one is that interested in Kansas City like it was Mahomes, and a Virtual Home Game to boot. I would not jump up and down on Aaron Judge's Locker.

Well, for all intents and purposes, Since 2020, the Sellout Streak has been on Life Support. And, with one of the worse ways to Disguise a Full House is to give Students and Other Community Members Tickets that wouldn't otherwise Get Them. It would be better than having Empty Metal, but, that still is not flattery.

Education is acting like Nebraska owes them Money! I'd be feeling that way with HOW they Scuttled the Tennessee Series, and Troy Dannen and Matt Rhule have a Nasty Habit for Doing the Right Thing for the Wrong Reasons.

This would be the 1st Year That the 2019-2021 COVID-19 Retainer is not in Commission, and there'd be HUGE Gaps in People's Recruiting. What would sting is a Lot of the Big Ten Powerhouses are not up to par to match the hype and the trouble they'd cause.

Does the WNBA have any Comprehension for Anything?

 I feel that the WNBA does not have the Comprehension for having Someone 10 Times the Size of Tammi Blackstone in Caitlin Clark, and worse, they don't have the Comprehension for Anything. Sophie Cunningham is Big Mad She Doesn't Get Her Young and Hip Options, but, highkey, She is Very Insecure.

My hair would be On Fire if Caitlin Clark became a Recluse when She Hit the Blackstone Sisters Ages. And, worse yet, I would have felt Mother's Day in the WNBA had Tammi and or Kerri elected to go down that road.

The reality is we'd be in a Supernova. Turning Every Woman into a Fashionista, Senorita and an Athlete would be Mammoth, and people forget they are doing their Jobs.

The feeling of the Connecticut Sun being out of Business would change Women's Sports Forever and lastly, I would lose my mind if Khia Stokes is Out of a Job and Don't Even Try to Get Me Started on having to support a Two Bit and a Joker.

Just because we'd have more power than Batman, Superman, Spider Man and the Incredible Hulk put together doesn't mean we can or will know how to prove it responsibly.

28 Days Until the College Football Poll

 It will be 4 Weeks Until the College Football Poll and I would base my Strategy Initially on the Border War. The Whole Pretense of Missouri being Preseason Favorite is a Lot of Programs have gotten carried away on the Tabloids.

I wouldn't automatically put a DMX-ian Hat Trick of Border Wars on the Ground when I make my Preseason Predictions for the Championship. In what is going on my 27th Postseason, I'd always have been, always will be more relentless about the Championship than Others Care About their Seasons.

I've never had New Mexico, New Mexico State, Kentucky or Duke from 1999's Division IA in my Postseason. Immediately after this Year's National Championship of College Football, I'd lock in on my Communications for a Division I National Championship of College Football.

It Will Be A Miracle for Lucas Oil and World Of Outlaws Late Models Car Counts to Stay in the 20's At Years End Combined

 Even without Spencer Hughes's Arrest for Sexual Assault, the Car Counts of the Full Season Camps of the Real American Beer World of Outlaws Late Model Series and the Lucas Oil Late Model Series already had people on edge. And, generally, the Car Counts hold their Own after the Midwest Dirt Tracks stop being hard and defrost for the Spring.

Even though Dirt Late Model is not my beat, but, there is nothing funny about having to pull your card during Eldora to Eldora Crown Jewel Season. It is not even a Calendar Year after Agent 0 and not even a Full Season, and to have Someone's Personal Life, Judgment and Manhood all make a Toxic Stew is more Sickening than hearing about the President or Even Having Relatives in 6 Years because they don't have Health Insurance and are not moving on up.

The principle of the Card is For Health Insurance and Other Catastrophic or Worse Injuries. What is revolting and frightening in Short and Dirt Track America is they don't have the Full Safeties as The Cup or XFinity Series.

It's 4th of July Weekend, and I'm not a Drinker, but, I'd rather have Cold Ones over Great A-Mains than Behind the Scenes Junk. I still miss, as an Iowan and an Eastern Iowan, having the Deery Brothers Summer Series and a tangible legacy for the Busch Grand National All Star Tour, which brought Slings and Arrows at the Playground and Other Places, and that's before the Busch Grand National Series had Taters and Toast from Coast to Coast.

The worst in all this, is not that long ago, Robert Yates sent Winston Cup Parts and People to The Dirty, Filthy Hard Working and Even Harder Living Backroads of Dirt Track America, and I'd think with the ASA Revival taking Star, the dangerous thing is the Dirt Late Model Fans would see their Hero Get Promoted to the Cup Series. It is better than Arrests or Drugs, but, it is less enraging but still not as flattering.

The Networks are In The Worst Shape they've Ever Been!

 I feel livid not necessarily ABC Drydocking Doctor Odyssey, but HOW ABC Drydocked Doctor Odyssey! The symptom is how Network TV is Jettisoning Promising Series ON PURPOSE versus setting them up for Syndication Money!

Even though it is not new Streaming is Making Us Analog Fans Steaming, but How they are Making Us Steam is another Story! I'd be 40 Years This Month, and I've never Seen Network TV in the any Worse Shape its Ever Been!

Excuses and Stoppages would be in the Hollywood Cake and worse yet, I'd like to see my Stars in Hollywood. And, to top it off, Doctor Odyssey's Saga is not the Only Network Fiasco.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society has to cook NBC worse, and that would be a Genuine Brilliant But Cancelled. The problem would be Prestige TV has lost its feeling.

If I was in Hollywood, I'd want Characters you'd Love or Hate Immediately. There is No Middle Ground at all.

Celebrities, All Stars, VIP's and Weddings, Oh My!

 I feel that Jeff Bezos can buy a Whole KMart of a System, or Scale a TNN, but, he can't buy Trust. Even though he said "No Gifts", but, god forbid if my Mom's Hard Earned Money went back to Divorce Court.

Speaking of Bought Trust, I would be livid that we'd have Miserable Summer after Miserable Summer without Sears or Younkers in Town, and our Misers of Mall Managers are not handling Business the Right Way.

My Late Uncle Dave said Macerich was helpful when they where In Town, and he was far from a Saint (Or Any Other Letter Jacket). Even though its not Hospitals, but, it is annoying to have all your rosier Shopping Options be Out of Town.

KMart, had they had better people instead of riding the Martha Gravy Boat, would have been a Thorn in Target's Side, and Amazon is a Thorn in Walmart's Side. But, you'd see Amazon buying and selling the Space Program, or Buying and Selling ESPN from restoring Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons.

The Wisconsin Man and His Family Won't Give Up a Fight!

 Wisconsin's Lawsuit against Miami would only prove one thing as the Wisconsin Man and His Family won't give up a Fight! I know Miami's a Greek Curse, and it doesn't help they'd be wearing out Meaningful Jewelry instead of Ohio State.

The curse in all of this is there are more Curse Words than the English Language at these Wisconsin Taverns toward the U at their Bars. I think one of my fears, is that they'd play possum with these NIL's Further, and instead of encouraging Ice Hockey or Varsity Wrestling, we'd encourage Narcissists whose only purpose is to get rich and famous quick.

Believe me, there is Hollywood for that.

06272025 Week of October 25th Bonus Games Remark

 This week, my Mock Games will be Taken into Midseason, where Results or Consequences would run deeper, and in 2 Weeks, I'd have a Dandy of a Lineup. I do want to avoid July 4th because of Reasons, especially if Friends and Family Time Count. Without further ado, here are my Remarks.

Iowa 7 8 7 8-30 7-37

Is Major League Soccer Really Minor League Soccer?

 I feel as a Sports Fan, we'd beg for Sports Journalists not be Sports Fanboys and Fangirls. Secretly, we have replaced the Died in Wool Journalist with Fanboys and Fangirls and the Lividity is Comprehensive.

After the Worst Behaved Championship (2021), the MLS had the Genius Idea of throwing their Games behind a Paywall. The only good reason to Go Pay Per View is to be Elite or Not Give Your Elderly Relatives a Triple Bypass. That is not it.

And, the Current Brass is Royally Flunking Sports Business and they do not care. If we had Manchester United and others come to town, there should be an expectation of being better. The Major League Soccer has not had a 5 Year World Club Powerhouse.

And, the rot gets worse, as Messi stands for Soft Leadership, and our Kids are Playing Mid End English Teams. The United States criminally spends the Most Money on Soccer ONLY to make Places that don't even have a Slightest Patch of Green Grass look like World Stoppers! If this where England, it would have been on Every Show!

And, the Soccer Business is not disguising the Sir Alex Void which is 12 Years Old and unabashedly, being more dangerous than some 18 Year Olds and not afraid to show it. I don't want to go back to the Bad Old Days of Defending Territory and Manhood with Drunk and Violent Hooliganism, but, somebody's gonna say it.

Would we have been alright with the Las Vegas A's?

 In hindsight, I wish we would have been on the road to the Las Vegas A's. Instead, they took the Cowards Way Out, and to take it farther, Nix Sacramento from the Name. Minor League Baseball would have been Upset and it would have been affecting the Las Vegas 51's and Sacramento River Dogs's Futures and made the Pacific Coast League scramble for New Territory.

At this rate, the Athletics wouldn't have a Stable System until we'd run deeper in restoring the Presidency. And, Mr. Manfred was not ready to give the Benefit of the Doubt to Oakland. 

Oakland Fans would rightfully beg to differ, for many reasons, and the Money Moves of the Athletics Ownership are Impulsive and Short Sided. Sports is not in a Good Place Currently.

Is Sabrina Carpenter Secretly Cooking "The Simpsons" Future?

 One thing I hate as an Entertainment Fan has been Underproduction has gotten acceptable. And, that is without 2019-2021. I admit that Sabrina Carpenter has been one of the few Repeat CD Buys/Successful Requests in Recent Years, but, I do not like Entertainers coming in From Children's or Reality TV.

Speaking of Cooking, The Simpsons Future is on a Multi Year Rachel Green, and as a Sitcom Fan, I was afraid of that. Since Milhouse left the building, I'd feel The Simpsons would run out of Key People or Worse, Send in Elsa to Fix Marge Simpson.

Sabrina Carpenter is secretly cooking "The Simpsons" Future and not just because She's Bart Simpson's Niece. It is not as bad as "Family Guy", but, Fox Brass have always kept up a Scared to Lose Mentality around The Simpsons.

What I'd fear would be an Unelegant 21st Century Repeat is The Simpsons are kept around further than the Courts and that Cancels a Better Series, and Everwood Fans are Still Angry to put it Mildly how the CW Elected to keep 7th Heaven around, in Hindsight, was anything but heavenly.

06202025 Week of August 16th Remark

 This will be my 1st Set of Remarks for the College Football Commissioner's Classic Bonus Games and I will do them Every Friday Until the Poll (August 1st) save for the 4th of July and without further ado, here is my remarks

Is A Piece of NFL History Going to the Graveyard?

 I feel mad that Myles Garrett is insinuating that Aaron Rodgers Career and the Pittsburgh Steelers History is Going to the Graveyard. Frankly, the one constant of this Wild and Crazy Era or Eras have been Death, Taxes and the Steelers being Renegades and Great.

I would feel that the one thing Mike Tomlin neglected was having to be a Professional Equal to Grambling. Instead, he is closer to Florida A and M.

What hurts is even Cleveland has taken their Shots and they haven't had a Full Bar Day in their Current History. America makes Cleveland be a Cleveland Team and that discussion seems to go by and by the wayside in a Huge Way.

Buy Your Hints! 2 More Weeks Until College Football Commissioner's Classic Predictions!

 Buy Your Hints! Buy Your Hints! This is the Tagline I'd have for the College Football Commissioner's Classic Predictions.

I'll do them Every Friday Starting June 20th Save for the 4th of July en route to the Preseason College Football Poll on August 1st.

60 Days Until the College Football Poll

 Today, besides it being my 40th Birthday, it is 60 Days until the College Football Poll is Up and Running for the 2025 Season. And, here are my nuggets:

1. I will hold tight to January 1st or the Next Available Saturday as the Commission of the Season.

2. I would amend that if we had Extenuating Circumstances or 90 Day Circumstances.

3. For 2026, I'd do a Division I Championship and For 2027, I'd do an All College Football Title.

4.I'd leave no Secrets (IE, If Someone Mishandled the Transfer Portal) and

5. I'd let certain Programs On that Wouldn't Otherwise Be On.

Is Sacramento State Within their Means?

 I feel Sacramento State is not in Pocket for their FBS Move. The problem is their Fundraising is Already Sus, even if we still had the Pac 12 in Organ. To me, being involved in Non-Profits, it is a Bad Image for your Community.

It doesn't help that the Hornets's Gravy Boat is tied to moving up Football and they are the Worst Kind of 1 Hit Wonders there is.

What I'd like to see out of Western Sports is not the Rumors being Non-Stop but, Non-Stop Action instead.

Is the Rock Cooking AEW?

 I feel the Rock is Cooking AEW, no thanks to the "Black Adam" debacle. I'd feel the AEW Messups are getting a little too common.

Letting an AEW Opportunity fall into Triple H's Lap is Dangerous, and worse, that should have been telling.

AEW is Warner Brothers's Toy in Sports after the NBA is Going "Peace Out" and regrettably, they are treating that toy poorly.

Besides being Rude to Moxley, I don't think of a Good Image AEW is leaving my Town.

The one thing that Tony Khan is losing (or lost) is focusing on restoring the WCW's Rights to TBS and TNT. I'd feel instead, he doubles down on the Junk and don't get me started on White Lotus #'s or Ticket Dumping, either.

Instead of a Golden Goose, the brass doesn't seem to care and it is veering towards apathy.

75 Days Until the College Football Poll

 I am saying it will be 75 Days Until the College Football Poll and here are my Public Service Announcements:

1. I Will Enforce Rivalries. Border War (Kansas-Missouri), SMU-Texas Tech and I'd do so within reason.

2. I Would Feel the Apple Cup (Washington-Washington State) and Notre Dame-Ohio State would be Off Board.

and

3. Michigan and Michigan State are in trouble and Akron is Home due to APR.

Sir Charles is Not A Pep Rally!

 What I'd like to say is Sir Charles is not a Pep Rally! Charles Barkley is roasted for why he doesn't give money to Auburn's NIL Program.

Truthfully, I would not like to give Money to NIL Outfits. What bothers me is that this is Life Changing Money and Lifetimes of Unaccountability.

To me, we don't want another Ocean of Tolerated Athletes.

That is a Major Problem and People don't like that.

Don't Ask Mike Tomlin About Antonio Brown!

 Besides being instructed to break your Favorite Show in Pittsburgh, there is Something you Shouldn't Ask Mike Tomlin, which is Antonio Brown. I'd feel that everyone in the NFL Community has looked at the Steelers different after AB was allowed to trash the place and act crazy.

There are some freebies you can't get back and the Process's Hole was Ben Roethlisberger. For a long time, the Steelers had Perfect NFL Draft Picks on Each Team.

But, the truth is, AB is no Closer to Canton and Beefing with NFL Rivals as much as Anyone. He'd be viewed as a Franchise Destroyer and the Fog of that Stigma is not going to go away.

USA Basketball Would Not Benefit Losing Pop

 Without Greg Popovich, Professional Basketball in this Country would be viewed as Incoherent. That is not new news, but, what is is Pop Retiring to Desk Duty.

The Spurs have downgraded from Family Team to Rookies of the Year. That is a Problem, because since David Robinson, the Spurs have been a Family Team and Not a NBA Outpost. 

Without Pop, the Promise of Wemby and his 5 More NBA Banners will go to waste. That is not an act.

I wouldn't want the Spurs to degrade to Lottery Regulars, which is not a compliment in the NBA Community. Even though they don't have the problem of G League Commitments with NBA Dollars, but, it shows when they fall off of contention.

Sparty has to Know the Difference Between Hammer and OK

 The one thing that annoys me about Michigan State is they don't know the Difference between Hammer and OK. It is a Frank Manzoism, but, a necessary -ism in Today's World.

I swear part of that is not trotting Izzo to where he can't go home. Granted, everything there has been beyond the usual "Sparty, No!" but, there has to be a Better Way.

What East Lansing has to prepare is Professionalism. That is the -ism that drives me nuts.

Hammering Recruiting Lore got Dantonio dismissed, and Tucker, he shouldn't have been there in the 1st Place. And, they'd learn their lesson a little too late, if they did.

How on Earth Madison Square Garden is Squandering their Golden Goose?

 How on Earth Madison Square Garden is Squandering their Golden Goose? What I mean is how the Rangers and the Knicks would be on TV!

I'd be a Stickler for Business, but, Bad Business Decisions are Baring the Knicks and Rangers. The way I should look at it, they should be the Class of Arenas.

Frankly, I am not the only one making a Post about it. 

I'm Not Impressed With Cleetus's Unprofessionalism

 I am personally not impressed with Cleetus McFarland's Unprofessionalism. Not in a way when we knew the President was an Armpit Later, but, I'd feel madder than a Wet Hen for Stock Car Short Track America.

I'd like more of a TBT Ethic where you'd have a Good Name and a Solid Fan Base. I'd rather have a Winner that Would Make Tim "Man of Steele's" Family Proud, or at least expand the Greek Life that is ARCA Victory Lane.

Even though I'd care too hard, it is the antithesis of apathetic. Both don't come to a Good Place.

Is the UFL Being "Uncled" By St. Louis?

 One of the Shockers is that the UFL has had a Combined History of 10 Years Since the 1980's. But, I'd feel is the UFL being "Uncled" by St. Louis? 

I'd want to see an Arena Football League that is not torched on ROI, but, that's not this post. What is this post is it is Not All Beer Snakes and Spritzer Coolers.

St. Louis has not had the Privilege of Having their "Own" NFL Heroes, which is a Long Story in and of itself. But, to think that I'd be lured by a Fever Dream of the St. Louis Rams putting a Stop to the Baltimore Ravens in the Dome is foolish.

I'd still be mad about not seeing the Midnight Black of the Houston Gamblers at NRG Stadium.

Deion is in the Wrong!

 I get the perception that Deion Sanders is in the Wrong with picking on Dan "0-16" Orlavsky. I feel that General Managers would have had a lesser candidate than Prime Time doing his dance and little else.

Shedeur Sanders is not anything Special. Having Scrub Teams Scrub Workouts tells it all.

I'd wished the NFL Draft was not on Prime Time Television. Even though it is, but, Green Bay is Prime Time Enough.

Escaping the Glare of the Wisconsin Man and His Family is Easier Said than Done. I'd get the feeling Colorado Kids would not put in the Work, even though they'd be given opportunities to do so.

I wouldn't have been so preoccupied that Jacksonville has another Hall of Fame Injury.

Not Everything is a '70's Show!

 I wish that most people stuck to their Ethics and not made Everything a '70's Show! If we had the Old Boys Club again, or some other iteration of it, we'd be in danger.

Speaking of In Danger, we'd have a Quality Gap that is Dangerous. I feel our Merlins are Retiring or Retired and the Harry Potters are running the Circus.

I'd want things to stick to my Grandma and Grandpa, even though my Grandpas are not here Since High School. 

I'd feel we can do 10 Times Better With Our Space Program than having T and A. I am bent out of shape (No Joke) about how our Space Program is Handled.

How would we care about Sports Cars if we can't get off the couch? That is a Huge Liability and Problem.

Professionalism is the Secret X and I hate to throw a Fresh Price is Right Reference, but, I miss Professionalism, too.

When Will Arkansas Restore their Role Model for Kids Status?

 One thing that drives me nuts is that Arkansas has a Bad Habit of Not Being Role Models for Kids. And, with Madden "26" Iamaleava I Am A Leavin' With the Bag, Arkansas the School and the Athletic Department would be looking to legal action.

Mr. Broyles, or the Ghost of Mr. Broyles, would be ending the discussion with Both Barrels of Fists through his desk. Arkansas does not have that kind of Fear and Respect throughout the Countryside like they did.

That's not to say they haven't tried, but, that is not good enough for the Hardest Working State Flagship in the Land. The lack of Role Models have cost them Big Bucks and that is a Huge Problem in Fayetteville.

I'd like to see them do something greater than beat the Late Oprah Winfrey Show in Little Rock for the State Dial. Everyone else would have something holding them down and West Branch would not be OK with Token Florida Bowls, either.

Madden 26 Will Have a Franchise Destroying Option in Arkansas

 Madden Iamaleava has set the Arkansas Razorbacks to Franchise Destroying Rebuild Option. Everyday Arkansans have a Right to be Angry that they'd didn't check their I's and T's at the Worst Time.

Arkansas would need a Transformer and Sam Pittman is not it. Even though he is responsible for hits, but, he is also responsible for misses as well.

Granted, the Warts and All would fit better than a Glove, but, in reality, them and Texas Tech are the Only Southwest Conference Members without a Contemporary Conference Championship.

What I'd like to dare Athletic Departments to do is Hire With a Backbone. Arkansas is the Hardest State for Public Education for the Ratio of their Quality of Life.

The last time the Hogs Called Conference Championship was before The Simpsons had a Single Full Length Episode. I don't think having a 10 Year Franchise Mode where all you get is Frustration would solve anything.

The push to call Home at Fayetteville has to be Stronger and it would be Sooner rather than Later.
