Things that really piss me off
2. Politicians in general. The founding fathers never intended for members of Congress to be or become professional politicians.
3.Political Correctness. I in no way advocate embarrassing or demeaning another person by verbal cruelty.
4. The hypocrisy of college sports. Of course our QB does not get paid... Yeah
5. Tattoos and gold chains. Hey, look at me.
6. 99.9% of parents of athletes and their children's personal trainers who undermind the efforts of experienced school coaches. Everybody is a flippin' coach!
7. How we have allowed the television networks to totally control college football.
8. Nike and their "clown" uniforms.
9. Female football sportscasters - if you haven't worn the jock strap, then stay out of the broadcast booth.
10. The NBA lockout
11. The NBA

Last month Ohio State hired Urban Meyer to coach football for $4million a year plus bonuses. Gordon Aubrecht, an Ohio State physics professor, says he does not have enough money in his professional development budget to cover expenses at conferences.
William E. Kirwan, chancellor of the University of Maryland system states, “We’ve reached a point where big-time intercollegiate athletics is undermining the integrity of our institutions.
Charles T. Clotfelter, a public policy professor at Duke, notes that between 1985 and 2010, average salaries at public universities rose 32 percent for full professors, 90 percent for presidents, and 650 percent for football coaches.
We now play college football games during the week, causing traffic gridlock and tailgating on campus during a school day. Add to that the TV crews and their vehicles and some hosting universities are now forced to cancel classes. Athletic departments no longer schedule big game days or times, yielding to the big money of TV and the added exposure of the school's football or basketball program that accompanies such coverage.
Who said it isn't all about the money. Has it gotten to the point that universities exist so that we can have football and basketball?
Lord, help us!

PHOENIX -- The former top executive of the Fiesta Bowl has reached a plea deal with Arizona prosecutors to settle allegations related to a political donations scandal.
Arizona Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Amy Rezzonico confirmed Sunday that John Junker will appear in court on Tuesday, although she said she was barred from providing details before the hearing.
Junker's lawyer, Stephen Dichter, said in a statement that his client plans to plead guilty to a single felony count in state court and another in federal court related to his role in soliciting political contributions from Fiesta Bowl employees who were later reimbursed by the bowl. The Arizona Republic first reported the deal in Sunday's editions.
The bowl reimbursed employees about $48,000 over a nine-year period.
A person with direct knowledge of the deal said others were also expected to enter pleas to state charges related to the scandal at the top tier national bowl that led to the ouster last year of longtime leader Junker and chief operating officer Natalie Wisneski. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been filed in court.
The Maricopa County Superior Court has scheduled a hearing related to "the filing of direct complaints regarding the Fiesta Bowl investigation." More
Even though we’ve just passed Valentine’s Day and only 45 days have gone since the playing of the national championship game, spring college football is already underway.
That’s right, according to a schedule compiled by College Football Talk, Army kicked off its spring practices last Monday, Feb. 13, South Alabama (new to the Sun Belt) began on Feb. 15, Texas Tech laced it up on Feb. 17, and Duke, TCU, Texas, San Diego State, Memphis, Tulane, Louisiana-Lafayette, Texas State (new to the WAC) all have practices scheduled for this month.
So, really what’s the point of spring practice? MORE
For 2010-11, the most recent year for which audited numbers are available. NCAA revenue was $845.9 million, most of which came from the rights agreement with Turner/CBS Sports.
