Any (American) football fans here?

This is absolutely and totally ridiculous. I remember 30 or 40 years ago, only 8 or 10 teams made it to post-season bowl games and now it seems like practically every team in the country plays in a bowl game. BTW, Mike, congratulations on your Tiger's great season.

+1 for the Falcons!!

What can I say but, WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Auburn Tigers are 13-0 and playing for the national championship in January against the Oregon Ducks. This will be a shoot out and I look forward to it very much.

Cheers Hondo Duke Lane

I tend to agree with you Stumpy on this too. There are 35 bowl games, which makes 70 teams playing. That is over 60% of the college teams playing in post-season. What I think this is also ridiculous. The National Championship is being played on January 10th. They will take a 37 day break from playing. I think that is way too long.

Thanks Stumpy for the congrats on the Tigers. It was totally unexpected but I am pleased.

Seems like my opinion has company.

THE PROBLEM I see with 35 games is 99% are on espn only. Too many people don't get to watch them if they don't have cable. My Oklahoma Sooners turned it around and finshed strong. We are blessed to have a coach Like Stoops a straight talker, no excuses, holds no punches man just like the Duke. Sooners National Champs in 2012 I guarantee it. Hows that for prophecy. My Dolphins stunk it up this year. I'm rerady for Hoops then baseball. PlaY BALL!!!

35 or 40 years ago, I used to spend entire weekends watching both college and pro football but now, I try only to watch Big Red upon the rare occasions when their games are shown on network TV (I don't have cable or satellite since I'm not a big TV watcher).

I just don't enjoy the games like I used to, what with all the commercials and stupid rules imposed on the players.

While I'll admit that Stoops isn't a bad coach, I STILL miss Barry.

Hope you're a good prophet.

Less than 24 hours before we see the National Championship Game. I am of course bias with my Auburn Tigers, but what do you see winning this game. I didn't follow the Ducks too much, and in my state and the SEC they will talk about the Auburn (both positive and negative {due to mainly Alabama}), so what are your predictions on this game?

Cheers Hondo

P.S. WAR EAGLE!!!

I think the Tigers are gonna eat those Ducks alive, Mike.

It was much closer than I calculated - apparently Oregon is a better team than I gave them credit for.

Alright Auburn!!

That's either 5 or 6 straight NC's for the SEC!!!

Even though I'm a Tennessee grad, and of course, life-long Vol fan, what's good for the War Eagles/Tigers/Plainsmen (all names belong to Auburn), is GREAT for the SEC - the toughest conference in college football!!

Thanks for clearing that up. Mike (Hondo Duke Lane) kept talking "War Eagles" in his posts referring to Auburn (his alma mater) and I only knew [Auburn] Tigers.

What a game! It is great to be an Auburn Tiger! War Eagle! Very confusing with titles, but there is a story to all of this. I will post those stories to you about our titles. AUBURN TIGERS get it done with a 22-19 score. Could have scored another score, but a win is a win. WAR EAGLE!

Congratulations, Mike - naturally, I wish my Sooners had done better than they did this season but since they didn't, it's great to see your War Eagles go undefeated.

I STILL wish college ball would go to a playoff system though. Just like they have in basketball or baseball. As always, money, via the bowl system, wins.

Mike - Congratulations on your Auburn Tigers winning the big one!

The Steelers play the Ravens today at 4pm. Go Steelers! Crush the Ravens!

Well, this is the big Superbowl week with all the hoopla that is involved.
I'm on the fence between the Packers and Steelers. Hope it is a good game and neither team runs away in scoring.

Don't know where they came up with that woman who "sang" the national anthem but sure don't understand how she won those Grammy awards. I thought she butchered it.
