College Football Sold Its Soul

The fans had gathered in the pre-dawn hours for the sausage and biscuit tailgate fare

Over strong hot coffee they discuss their teams chances against the opposition with the seventeen-year-old quarterback millionaire

The kickoff was at noon. The early time was scheduled by the true drivers of the sport, the television network

Their game was significant with playoff ramifications but was scheduled at the early time slot to compete against Des, Nick, Coach and Kirk

Big Money is only concerned with ratings and ESPN rules the roost

So the game will be played at noon to hopefully give the other network a boost

Sure, the fans squawked their protests like sheep bleeting in the runway to the slaughterhouse

But eventually they’ll break out the bourbon and quietly fill the stadium without realizing they are being controlled by Micky Mouse

The sleepy-eyed band is trying to work up some school spirit with the school’s fight song

But there wasn’t much of a spark generated as the fans have realized that college football in its greed has done them wrong

The boosters have been taken for granted for so long the sport feels invincible

They’ve quietly watched as football has turned into a giant money grab. Now to be considered for the privilege of buying tickets one has to make a payment to the athletic department but parking and tailgate fees are additional

The game itself has turned into one long butt numbing commercial fest

A 60-minute game has been stretched into a four-hour contest

The commercial breaks now take up 2-1/2 hours of the broadcast. Sportsbooks rule the airwaves with drug and beer commercials close behind As fans in the stands sit on their hands hiding from the weather while waiting for another three minutes of action as designed

Oh, Wait! The referees are huddled around a camera to see if the call they are paid to make was correct so we take another five-minute commercial break

“We’ll delay the action, kill the momentum, and a potential winning drive to see if our incompetent asses made a mistake”

“Let’s add a two-minute warning timeout in addition to the other three because Lord knows we haven’t had enough TV adds”

Toss in a thirty-minute half-time show so five talking heads can delve into the minds of the nineteen- year-old lads

Maybe just maybe this kid wasn’t giving his all because with three losses this team wasn’t making the playoffs anyway

With the Transfer Portal looming large, he’ll be gone at the season’s end to a bigger and better payday

He’ll go to a team that schedules more cupcake games where he can flash his athletic brilliance and not as likely to risk injury before going to the tier one pros

It’s all about the money, follow the dollar sign. No school loyalty, no team spirit and it’s no skin off his nose

If only the NCAA had woken to the fact they had the perfect playoff system already in hand

With the number of bowl games and a 64 team round robin tournament, think of the money TV, the universities, and players could command

Just drop the regular season games to ten and then begin the road to the championship

Suddenly the Bluebonnet Bowl wouldn’t be looked upon as a consolation trip

Much like March Madness this style tournament would give most a shot and advance the “cream” to the top

And all the fans hollering about shoulda’s coulda’s and woulda’s would slow to a stop

Is America Ready for a Woman?

In the recent Presidential election a woman candidate lost the contest to a male

This was the same man that if the democrats had their way should have been in jail

“Its misogny,” they screamed. “This man will set us back in time, and we’ll lose our rights”

“This woman is our only hope. She’s the one that unites”

Perhaps it wasn’t all a gender based victory, perhaps something else came into play

Just maybe America was tired of being held hostage by a very small but vocal group of malcontents that kept the citizenship in planned disarray

Looking back at women leaders in the past somebody in the Democratic Party should have realized there is a difference between crass and class

The average American worker for the past four years suffered through the indignity of every socialist lefty feeling empowered to harass

Princess Diana once said, “I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of feeling unloved”

America rose up this past Tuesday when they had a chance to stop being pushed and shoved

Much like Prince Harry and Meghan, the United States had grown weary of elitist attitudes, celebrity worship, and censorship of thought and speech

America came together to stop the person that was not selected by her own party but anointed before she could step into the breach

“When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they become all the more determined to struggle for a better future.” Stated Queen Elizabeth

Having seen America’s way of life rapidly deteriorate by the Washington elites, the voting bloc refused to cast their lot with

Hoping to eradicate history and blaze a new trail forward the democrats tried squelching basic freedoms, tore down monuments, pushed their own leftist policies, and hugely overspent

Goldie Meir, the fourth Prime Minister of Israel stated, “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present”

America, long content with their lifestyle, through four years of hard knocks woke up to the corruption of this administration

The values taught in public schools suddenly vanished as America watched in horror at the Constitution desecration

Realizing the campaign was faltering the candidate could only claim women’s rights as being potentially completely demolished

Feminists from all walks of life were suddenly demanding all white men be abolished

“The feminists hate me, don’t they? And I don’t blame them. For I hate feminism. It is poison” So stated Margaret Thatcher

Another woman greatly admired both in leadership and stature

Spending massive amounts of campaign funds on disdainful advertising and rallies with high priced celebrities this candidate whiffed badly as the ball crossed the plate

The party was over as the last dancer twerked and the cackle receded into scripted speeches aimed at creating division and hate

So the chance for America to have a woman lead the country still awaits

But what we need is a woman ready and able to lead the United States

Still Waiting on an Apology

As the time for Biden’s Presidency winds down most of America is still waiting for the apology

With an umbrella covering his vacant bald head and his feet planted firmly in the sand perhaps he is composing his presidential anthology

That is if his brain is still capable of thought and is not burning with hatred towards his own party allies

His so-called political friends who until recently always had his back, he had now come to despise

Chapter one could contain his shutting down the pipeline and putting American energy dependent on foreign oil and Americans out of work

Knowing his dismal New Green Deal would line Biden pockets and was happy to give the American supply chain the middle finger and a smirk

Throwing open the border he allowed anyone with a heartbeat to cross into America securing all future votes

Caravan after caravan arrived at the southern border by foot, trains and boats

And disappeared into cities across the United States and plunge their respective counties into planned disorder

Assigning his Vice President to oversee the operation he cemented his legacy of hiding from the border

He then withdrew from Afghanistan in a manner that suggested pure timidity

Unable to negotiate with any foreign powers he dropped everything and ran. Scenes of Americans dying and our own military in full retreat has no defensible validity

But his Vice President was the last person in the room demonstrating her leadership abilities

Encouraging to say the least when faced with future hostilities

Furthermore public education spent two years masked up, social distanced, and remotely taught while the pandemic raged

Mandatory vaccines were ordered to keep one’s job as people lined up for Big Pharma’s poison while watching hospitals kill the elderly. People’s fears were never assuaged

Not fearing the United States and waving the signed Minsk Agreement, Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine

Money laundering came easy at that point as the Biden family, long on the Ukraine payroll, now had free reign

Itching to be looked as a real Commander in Chief, Biden personally oversaw the United States diplomacy in the Israel-Hamas War

If it wasn’t for being forced out of office his option of boots on the ground could have become a reality causing a huge international uproar

But that was yesterday and today is the day for socialist reflection

By calling half of America garbage and the angry demonstration on January 6th an insurrection

It’s time for the Biden catastrophe to come to an end

But he won’t know it after spending 532 days on vacation, he’ll look at any free time as a Presidential dividend

So is an apology coming for turning America into a nightmarish mess?

Not going to happen as he has babies to bite, dirty money yet to pocket, and another six weeks to stay hidden from the press
