Hi Reg,
Greetings again my friend. Now I understand why you and I get aong so well. My birthday is January 2nd and your birthday is January 4th. I guess you can say that we are just two old goats (smile).
College football is not what it used to be. I am so glad you responded because I was thinking about what I am about to say after I initially replied to your post. I grew up sitting in front of my TV on Saturday afternoons watching college when it was more fun to watch. At least it was more fun for me. Again I am old school and grew up watching the Wishbone, Student Body Left and Student Body Right. Who would have thought that the last two Heisman Winners from USC would be QB's. Woody and Bo' in November deciding who would go to the Rose Bowl, Paul "Bear" Bryant and his houndstooth hat, and on New Years Day hearing the voice of the late Curt Gowdy broadcasting the Rose Bowl on New Years Day. So much $$$$$ involved along with corporate sponsorship has taken the fun out of it. The Southwest Conference is no longer around because of $$$$$ making the Cotton Bowl no longer part of the Championship mix. Thank goodness it is football season because ESPN Classic occasionally shows classic college football games of the past. Right now I say bring on the pros and the wide screen TV's every Sunday at the local Crowne Plaza. College Football will always have the various long standing traditions but I need the pros.
