It’s that time again. It happens once every three to six months. That’s right, it is me updating my blog. So a lot has gone on since the last time I updated and don’t remember everything I was going to write about so here is what’s on my mind right now.
So it is a sad time of year. The college football season has ended and I (as most Sooner fans) am glad it is over. Alabama won the national championship over Texas (thank goodness). That is the last thing the Sooners needed was another kick in the balls after this season of…of…of…I can’t think of a good adjective to name this season but it was horrendous. Two All-Americans, including a Heisman Trophy winner, were injured before the season really even started. Losing Gresham and Bradford was the worst thing for this team. Of course you could rack up Bradfords’ injury to the sucky ass offensive line. But injury after injury after injury (I think OU set a record for hurt players in a season), players playing at multiple positions (which has been done in the same season, but in the same game?), numerous losses suffered by 3 points or less, our field goal kickers not hitting the ocean 10 feet away, DeMarco Murray playing his usual sucky self (get the ball, run into blockers, fall down, repeat.), Landry Jones finding himself (didn’t do that bad of a job and still has a lot of work to do, but most fans expect him to live up to Bradford and OU may not see another Bradford for years), a year of a great defense wasted because of the lack of offense, and yet still finding a way to continue the winning streak at home. One bright note is that the Sooners finally won a bowl game, even though it was the Sun Bowl. There were some bright spots with some freshman showing what they can do in the bowl game. I hope 2010 comes soon and is better than 2009.
Also, does anyone remember a certain ESPN analyst predicting a certain Catholic school to win the National Championship? I do. I have the video from the beginning of the year where he, Lou Holtz that is, stated that the Fighting Irish could go undefeated and be playing for a National Championship. Instead they barely became bowl eligible with a 6-6 record, only to turn down the invitation to the bowl game, and to lose their 4th head coach in the past 10 years. All of them having about the same records. What does Notre Dame want, 5 star players to always be knocking at their door along with the Bob Stoops and Nick Sabans of the world begging to be their coach? I mean, come on. Notre Dame is not a great head coaching job anymore. And besides that, what recruit wants to keep up with their rules and requirements for a strict catholic school when they can go to a smaller (not to mention cheaper) school such as Utah, TCU, etc. and get as much, if not more exposure. I mean, yeah, when Rudy was made in the 70′s and 80′s Notre Dame was one of the best places to be, but as we all saw, Rudy struggled with his grades to even become eligible to attend the school, much less be a part of the football team. I am not saying that all athletes are idiots and “don’t need no skoolin so dont ax me,” but the ones that are good at school and football are few and far between. Gerald McCoy for OU is one of those, graduating in 3 years and is skipping his senior year to enter the NFL.
In other news, I have decided to drop out of school. I hope I am not hurting myself for the long run, but I think it is the right thing to do at this point. I’m behind on my Capitol City work at this point in time and this will allow me to catch up. I’m hoping to focus on Capitol City more. I hope to be able to attract more clients allowing me to be able to support myself and bring more love to Capitol City Studios.
Anyways, I am going to try and set aside a couple of days a week, at least, to update my site. Obviously the more I update, the more random the topics (instead of just sports) too. So, I’m excited to take on this task and hopefully have more people ride my rants and raves.
Up next will be a review of Sherlock Holmes and Avatar. Peace.
