Hope everyone is having a great 2010 so far. All us Dolberries are easing into the year ... lots of bowl games ... lots of food ... am 2 for 2 on exercising so far. Some random sports thoughts follow:
Congrats to UK fans on the game today. No doubt that this year's Wildcats are flat out awesome. Should be a fun March in parts of the Bluegrass. (FWIW, add Mike DeCourcy to the long list of observers who thought Cousins' forearm shiver deserved ejection.)
When did Bobby Petrino get so old? He looks like he's aged 10 years since the last time I saw him on TV. And how does a Petrino coached team manage only 10 first downs in an entire game. Wow.
We've watched most of the bowl games. Here's a top 3 countdown in terms of game quality:
#3 Pitt over UNC
#2 Idaho over Bowling Green
#1 Auburn over Northwestern
And while I enjoy the bowls probably more than most, clearly there should be playoff in college football. It wouldn't dilute the regular season anymore than any other sport's playoff does (which isn't very much ... fans are pretty much acclimated to a regular season / playoff format). Don't think Congress can force it, though. It will presumably take a tournament sponsor w/ really deep pockets to dump a whole bunch of money into the laps of the BCS school presidents. Suspect that will happen by 2015.
Billikens lost tonight on the road to fall to 9-5. They never win on the road. They do have the 2nd youngest team in all D1 b-ball and are showing slight signs of improvement. Watch out for the Billikens in 2011-2012!
Anyway, one more lazy, weekend day to go. Then, we'll start 2010 for real.

u just had to bring up the northwestern game.... ugh.. so painful
The Northwestern game was awesome even tho they lost. I loved the way they played (except maybe the kickers) and I loved the way the coach coached. He's probably not from Youngstown, but he might be a relative:). Mom
