College Football’s longest season starts now
I HATE THIS PART OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON. How can anyone like waiting a month for another game to be played? As a player it would be practicing and gearing up for 3-4 weeks losing all momentum in the process. Sure a player can get healthy during this time but we’ve seen games like these that are hyped for a month be over by the 2nd quarter. In fact, any time we’ve seen Ohio St in recent history we’ve seen this happen. I watch the games every year and say “we’ve waited a month for this”. The season doesn’t gain momentum like college basketball does with March Madness. Those games all build and loyalty gets stronger. In football you win and now you wait a month while a bunch of other teams play for what amounts to money. I don’t know who wins the bowl games each year and in truth the only teams that care are the National Title teams. The other games are for the programs and the sport in general and I’m sick of it.
I want the BCS to do the right thing and quit. They wont because of all the money but they have the means, the methods and the brains to make a playoff happen yet they won’t do it. This week we could be watching Boise St versus TCU in a game where the winner would advance and people would watch it like it was the super bowl. If the winner advanced between Cincy and Florida everyone would watch. They could easily fill a stadium with 100k people. The sports interest would grow and the most watched sporting sequence in the United STates would take place because people love football.
Oh well, I’ll wait a month and watch the first quarter of Texas and Alabama and see what happens. My friends and I will probably get together and eat good food at least.
