Quick thoughts on football and the media

1) I don't know how to create a blog with indentations at the begining of each paragraph.
2) People expect a drop off because Keller is the Nebraska quarterback. Umm...did everyone forget that ASU is no good and he still put up killer numbers. And, he is a 5th year senior. And, we have been recruiting really well. And, Missouri is still Missouri. Get real, we are getting better.
3) Either the end of the world is coming or media coverage is just crazy. Minnesota alone has had a bridge collapse, a natural disaster, and a political scandal in the last month or so. Media is out of control. But then again, if I'm thinking about, I guess rule by fear is working.
4) Preseason football polls are the greatest. I mean why wouldn't Ohio State be number two after they lost their quarterback, halfback, and two leading receivers. Actually, the only thing that makes sense about this year's rankings is not ranking Notre-stinkin'-Dame. They are going to lose. The further back they fall, the less likely they are to get a free bid to the BCS.
5) I know that American culture started in the east and spread westward. I am just wondering when east coast bias in culture is going to find it's balance. It bothers me that networks like ESPN know USC so well but that is the end of the Pac 10. I mean, even though the polls don't rank the Fighting Irish, they are covered every day. Even though Rutgers has been good for all of one year, they still get more coverage than TCU or Boise State. Just a thought...
