Sports News & Trends

The Carousel tends to start when a coach signs a big contract, and this year it appears that was Mel Tucker at Michigan State. All of the rumors about where he might go immediately stopped, and it didn't take long until we started seeing jump ship. The three big ones were Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Oregon losing their head coaches. These are big time programs and the coaches resigned to go to other jobs that, in my opinion, offer less stability. 

"A Wolverine would dominate a Duck." "What the heck is an Aggie?" "I don't know. I think a Mountaineer might be able to take a Cavalier." Things like that were regular discussions before we actually cared about the games themselves. 

I know, I know, they always talking about the Holidays being the most wonderful time of the year, but I just don't buy into that. For me, as a sports fan, Fall is the most wonderful time. That's right, I said it, and I don't feel the least bit bad about it.
