Ramblings on the month in sports

I've been attending football games at UGA (the wife's alma mater), and it has been a thrill to watch the next great running back at Running Back U, Knowshon Moreno. But please stop comparing him to Hershel Walker, just let him be the first Knowshon and enjoy the show.

Hats off to Sly Croom and the Mississippi State football Team for ending a putrid slump. I can now stop telling people I went to Millsaps (even though true), and not feel embarrassed to admit that I graduated from MSU.

I especially applaud Coach Croom's decision to run the ball on two third and long situations in the final minutes of the Alabama game. Had he succumbed to the desire to throw on first down, it might have fallen incomplete. Much like Arkansas did, then lost in the final eight seconds of the game.

Thank goodness these TV announcers once played the sport they're calling. I don't know how a casual fan could possibly run the same three story lines into the ground with same effectiveness as someone who has had first hand experience on the field at this level. Please TV execs, save a few hundred grand and just hire some new grad out of a Broadcast Journalism program. It'll be cheaper, and they might even be entertaining.

Did you hear Tebow has hurt shoulder? I heard it mentioned once, just once.
I think the coach at Alabama once coached LSU. Not sure though...
Mark Richt is a classy guy BUUUTTTTTTT THAT CELEBRATION...RANT RANT RANT..."Loud Noises!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...."I don't know what we're yelling about!!!!!"

I hope Mizzou wins it all. Just because nobody saw this coming, which means I could be a sports forecaster.
