Welcome to a new and regularly updated blog!

It has been over a year since I last blogged about anything. In that year a lot of things have changed! We went through an amazing year of sports and I was so consumed by watching that I never had time to blog about the great and abnormal of our sports seasons. We saw teams rise and fall, we saw some teams stay as mediocre as always, we saw new icons in every sport rise up and give hope to cities that usually don't have any. We saw crazy new football uniforms that either put is in a state of awe or a state of nausia. We saw that our nation embraces the underdogs in any sport. Even with all of the change one thing remained the same: Us fans never stopped loving the sports that give us so much entertainment, we never stopped watching just because players and a league couldnt reach a collective bargaining agreement. NO! We stuck by and watched every beautiful moment unfold in the amazing world that we call SPORTS!

Women just dont understand the attachment!

Us guys, well, we have this attachment. An attachment that when separated, we go kicking and screaming. This is our attachment to our sports teams. We think of this attachment as more of a marriage. I have to say I am one of those guys. I love five things in this world my girlfriend, Oregon Ducks Athletics, Seahawks football, Mariners Baseball, and Kelso Hilander Football. I am currently married to 4 of the five. Guess which ones. Unfortunately my girlfriend just doesn't understand, or any girl for that matter, the attachment I have to these programs and ball clubs. Other than her, it is my life. I live and die with these teams. When she tells me "I'm sorry they lost" or "I know what they mean to you and I feel bad for you" I know she is thinking two things. 1. "So he is down I will be sweet and we will get to cuddle all night" or 2. " Suck it up you girl it is just a game" Now I know when she reads this she is gonna be pissed but its true. They just dont understand how near and dear to our heart these teams are. Now sweetie i know you love me and I love you to but you never Genuinely mean any bad feelings you have when MY teams lose. It is ok but until you and all other women understand how we feel when our teams lose you will never actually know how I feel. Nothing against you but these marriages we have are closer to us than you may think.

Ode to the football underdog

The junderdog in football. Oh how you have no chance. But you dont believe that for a second. You practice all week with a mentality of no one beats us. All week they tell you you stink and you should just pack it in now before you get slaughtered. But you say NO! you refuse to lose. You take all that negative critcizm like the men that you are. You take it and use it as fuel on your competitive fire, it gives you strength and energy. You dont take no for an answer. You prepare like no one has prepared before. you practice till you nearly drop dead. but you get up and practice harder the next day. You come out on gameday with everyone saying no they cant. You say wait and see. Then for 60 minutes everyone sees your heart and soul put into an upset. at half people start double checking what they see but you know. As time ticks down the emotions of Shock,euphoria,dismay, and every other emotion flood around you but you stand alone saying we knew it all along. So I tip my hat to you, the underdog, for showing all humans,that hard work heart and determination is not shown on paper.

Fake Fans of teams

Something that really bugs me is bandwagon fans. I have been a fan of my favorite teams for a long long time. I stand by them in good times or bad. It is a marriage that you can't and never would even think about leaving. I see this all the time. bandwagon fans are the worst fans in all of sports. they latch onto the great teams of the season and call them theirs so they always feel like they are on top and so is there team. the majority of Boston Red Sox so called fans are that way. they never used to travel well until they won the world series then all of a sudden it was as though every one in America was a Red Sox fan. most of them cant even name the player who missed the ball between the legs in the world series back in the day. I now see this with Boise State football. I read all the time on Facebook and what not about how someone is going to watch their broncos. Give me a break you never knew of them till you heard how good they were on ESPN's Sports Center. You also know they arent real fans of that program because When Brotzman the place kicker missed those two chip shots against Nevada they told him to run and hide and/or kill himself because he put just put your or what you call your team into what I call a "Bull Crap Bowl Game". you know what I say to you morons who call yourself fans? you go hide and never show yourself again. yeah you could say what if? but never ever throw a player underneath the bus especially those who have been a major part in the teams success. Now that isnt to say you cant criticize and want better but Brotzman is one of the best. So You fake moronic bandwagon fans. Go away and quit hiding at the top because I can sniff you out like a drug dog and you will fall quicker than a meteor when your gig is up. Your not a true fan and never will be. You are a joke and the laughing stock of all fans around the world. Trust me you know who you are!

Bull Crap Bowl Games

Sitting here trying to figure out what to write for my first post and watching ESPN's Bowl Week got me thinking. Does anyone realize how many dang bowl games there are? To me it feels like 100 but we all know that isn't true. In reality there is only 35. ONLY!! of those 35, 7 are played before christmas. All 7 of which mean absolutely nothing other than one more game for seniors and if you win, a trophy. A trophy which also means nothing. Back to the 35 bowl games. Why have all those games when everyone knows the one that really matters is the one that is played 35 days after the regular season is over. That game is the National championship game. So as the fans of the teams sit and wait 35 days to say their team is the national champion, they sit and watch games that don't mean to much at all. Teams play 3 months to try and be national champions but when they are told they are playing for that title they have to wait 35 days to even settle that game on the field. Now the D-1 FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) has it right. when the season is over they have a playoff system to decide who plays for the national title. This system shows which team has the fortitude to make it through gut wrenching elimination games week in and week out. It gives us the Cinderella story of the underdog that had a tough season, rising to the challenge and knocking off the #1 team in college football. these games show more pride than stupid meaningless bowl games. the suspense is intense you win and move on or lose and go home. In bowl games you win you go home you lose you go home. The BCS sucks and needs to be changed!!! NO MORE BULL CRAP BOWL GAMES!!!!
