What's More Important: College Football or College Education?
NCAA football has been slowly creeping up the ladder in exposure over the past two decades, at the expense of education.

As coaching salaries increase, tuition rises for students, and state appropriations continue to fall, individual education budgets shrink, leaving us with a cloudy view of what’s really happening around the nation every time we flip on College GameDayMore

I  HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..  HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English'  is immediately banned.    English  is  the official language;   speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.

(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist  attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports,  and we'll do no exports.     We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy,  'If  we  ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!

(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.

(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States  (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on  SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.

(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids?  The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life. 

(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method,  i.e.,  the  first  time you steal,  you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation,  etc.

9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.

11). The Pledge of Allegiance  will  be said  every  day at  school and  every  day  in  Congress.

(12). The National Anthem  will  be played at all appropriate ceremonies,  sporting events,  outings, etc.

My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes ...... nevertheless....

What BobLee Says.........
The Mike Leach Mess …..  Plenty of “stoopid” to go around in this one.

I had extensive conversations on Wednesday with Texas football folks who know Mike Leach and Craig James personally.  And who are familiar with the general circumstance in Lubbock with Texas Tech.  They describe a situation MUCH different than you will get from ESPN which is grabbing its ankles to protect their boy – Craig James.

Mike Leach is well-known to be high octane “quirky”.  Lets call him “Ol Roy on steroids”.  Just as The Blue Messiah “does goofy stuff” that get him into trouble he could easily avoid ….. Mike Leach ratchets the goofy level even higher.

The Texas Tech Chancellor is RIGHT.  Mike Leach COULD indeed have prevented his firing …. by taking the Louisville job a month ago.   Mike burned his bridges with Texas Tech admins a year ago during contentious contract negotiations.  He did falsely assume his popularity with the Red Raider fan base gave him eccentric credits with his “bosses”.   He was wrong.  In any contest between a fan base lunatic fringe and your bosses ….. bet with “the bosses”.

As to the facts of the Adam James incident and “closets” and “sheds” and “concussions” and yadda yadda yadda …… much of that is being exaggerated by ESPN but even reality doesn’t help Mike Leach at all.   It’s 2009 and such “creative discipline” simply won’t fly in today’s world.  Recall my accounts of the Tar Heel Junction Boys from the late 60s.  THAT could not occur today.  Read Full Story
The ridiculous
Thirty-three bowl games.  Twenty-two teams with 5 or 6 regular season losses.  Is it an honor to participate in a bowl game?  Mediocre is the name of the game now.  But this country promotes mediocre.  Mediocrity has become the American way.  Political Correctness breeds mediocrity.  Hence the recent attempted underwear bomber who easily boarded a plane with some 200+ other passengers.  PC and mediocrity breed incompetence. 

At this time in American history, an open door policy to everyone from all countries will bring this country to its knees.  There are millions of radical Muslums whose wharped religious belief is to kill every American, mostly through infiltration and suicide.  And what does the American government do to defend its citizens ... keep on welcoming our enemies with open arms.  Has America's motto become, "We never offend anyone"?  Come and get us.  America's government no longer knows how to defend this country.  Political Correctness.  Mediocrity.  Incompetence.  Stupidity.

Kiffin Walks.....
After 14 months, seven NCAA "minor" violations and a 7-6 record as the Tennessee head coach, he announces in a one minute news conference he is headed back to California.

Kiffin is the typical younger generation; give it to me now whether I've earned it or not. He certainly isn't wowing anyone with his winning percentages, college or pro.
You have to scratch your head a bit and wonder why USC is even interested in the guy.
What has Kiffin really done beside ride on the coat tails of his dad and his former head coach Pete Carroll?
