Rambling Like an Old Fart

Lets hope the Kennesaw loss will be a springboard for the rest of the season.

These days it seems like there is parity in talent between college football and basketball players. The main difference is in the coaching, both in schemes and getting the athletes to focus and play to the best of their ability.

A team can play below expectations and squeak into a Shreveport or Nashville bowl game. Players should be embarrassed to be seen in those bowls, but instead wave their arms and draw attention to themselves like they’re the greatest on earth. Players these days are too busy hanging out, texting, playing video games, and making time with girls to watch many games on TV, though in games they act like their peers are watching them.

A team like Tech will waltz into a Shreveport bowl game and underestimate a “lesser” team, and get embarrassed. Just like the Kennesaw game, or when the football team lost to Kansas. Or SC losing at Kentucky.

It could be argued that both GT and UGA’s football seasons shouldn’t be considered disappointing. Tech had four drafted into the NFL and had a new defensive coordinator, then their QB was hurt in a key game. They still should’ve beat Kansas. Georgia had a new QB and defensive coordinator, and lost their best player for four games.
