   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average. 

  I hope that everyone had a good Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of the year.  This weekend was jam packed with sports.  From the NFL to the NBA and some college football and basketball as well.      On Saturday the Ravens beat the Colts and the Vikings pitched a shut out on the Rogerless Green Bay Packers. Then came Sunday and the whole league played.  The Patriots silenced the Bills Mafia.  The Panthers barely squeezed by the Bucs and the Bears came out of hibernation to beat the Browns. The Bengals beat the lions back into their cage and the Rams came out by a horn against the Titans. The Chiefs wouldn't let the Dolphins come up for air while the Saints clipped the wings of the Falcons. The Chargers had just enough juice to get by the Jets and the Redskins rod the Broncos down to the endzone. The 49ers put the Jaguars back in their cage while the Seahawks took a poop on the heads of the Cowboys. The Cardinals...

    Hey everyone out there in the Sports Bar Gaming Community.  I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or whatever you have going on this time of the year.     I will not be writing again until Tuesday because I will be spending time with family.  So until then enjoy your time and be safe. 

Craziest call I have seen in a long time but according to the NFL it was the right call and did not violate any rules.  During the Cowboys fourth quarter drive against the Raiders there was a need to measure a first down.  The ref at the time was certain that they had gotten the first down but to be sure he took a index card and tried to fit it between the ball and the pole.  When the card made contact with the ball and did not slide through it was official First Down Cowboys. Which in turn helped lead them to victory.  What do you think about this call and the way it was executed.  Comment below.

  Today started the Bowl season and the start of Bowl Mania.  Capital One sponsored Bowl Mania this year and I personally like the idea a lot.  I am a huge fan of fantasy sports and pick ems and things like that because it adds a new level of interest to games that otherwise wouldn't matte to me.  That has always in my mind been the a big part of the success of March Madness.  With the amount of bowls seeming to grow every year something like Bowl Mania was bound to happen.      That being said the amount of bowls is also a little much.  Looking at the line up of bowl games from the Bowl Mania I was left asking myself some "Who is that team?"  And I follow sports and watch a lot of games a week.  That means that your average guy who either likes his one team or one conference is not going to have a clue who more than half of the teams in this games are and is going to have no interest in the games.   ...

The Laker Cavs game is just started and the question is coming up.  Could Lebron go to the Lakers.  I personally don't think that this is a good move by him.  He is the man in Cleveland and has no reason to go to L.A  The team in the land is built around him. I think that he would be a good teacher for Lonzo in his early years but that is not a reason to transfer to a team.  Where do yal think that Lebron will go for free agency?

   The final four are set to go on January 1st for the College Football Playoffs.  It is going to be a good year with the match ups.     We will start with the Georgia and Oklahoma game.  This should be a close game unless the team that played Auburn gets off the bus and tries to play that game.  Oklahoma's offence will pick them apart if the defense is not set and ready to go.  The passing game is going to be a big factor from the Heisman winning Baker Mayfield.  I am hoping that Georgia wins but that is just my SEC biased.  I think that logically Oklahoma will beat them 21-7.     Them we have the rematch.  Clemson vs Alabama.  I think that the Crimson Tide should easily beat this team this year.  They are not as good as they were last year.  That being said.  The Tide has yet to be tested but by Auburn and they did not come out of that one well.  So this one is more of a toss up ...
