Who Loves College Football

Good luck with that. I ALSO have my tickets for the Rose Bowl and my Badgers are going to take a big bite out of your little froggies.

BTW, are you going to Disneyland while you're there? I couldn't resist spending NYE at Disneyland .

Hey Robin! It should be a good game. Our boys are fired up! I wish I was going to Disneyland on the 26th because our team is making an appearance there that day but I'm not coming in until later in the week. We are staying in Anaheim the last few days of our trip though and I might go to Disneyland one day. I'll at least visit downtown Disney. Should be a fun NYE for you!

...The Heisman presentation tonight was ridiculous talking about honor and integrity. Cam Newton may be a great football player but a man of honor and integrity he is not.

He deserved the Heisman Trophy. He was, far and away, the best player in America this season. That award is about excellence on the field, not off the field.

That said, I agree with this statement. And, for some reason, it bothers me 10 times as much because the father is a pastor, and the church that he is associated with has not taken action. My church would not allow a man of his integrity to remain in a leadership role.

It is amazing what $$$ can do to people. This family has forever been changed by their greed. And the church, because it benefited from that greed, turns a blind eye.

USC fans (Trojan) here. Love the RoseBowl (we are from Pasadena), particularly when USC is playing....not this year!

DH went to USC for grad school.

We're flying in on the 28th so we won't be there until later either. I need to find out when our team and band will be there. We watched the band play on Main Street back in 1999 and it was lots of fun.

Best, probably, but not far and away the best. You must not have seen any of Luck's games with Stanford. As for excellence on the field, that applied to Reggie Bush too. Just saying...

Generally both teams and bands are there on the 26th.

Sure I did, as I am a college football addict. Luck is a great QB, but if he were the QB of Auburn, Auburn would have at least 3 losses.

Yep - he was the best player in the country that year. He deserved the award.

If we are going to stop giving awards to greedy players, we are going to have to close every hall of fame in America.

It's ok to be greedy if he's a pro....college, perhaps not so much.

It is never okay to be greedy.

Bucky can use his feast of frog legs to give him energy to keep doing push-ups throughout the game!

BamaDisneyFan Thank You for your comments on Cam Newton!
I'd like to say everything you did, but coming from an Auburn fan
it dosen't men nearly as much as it does coming from an Alabama fan.
It truly speaks volumes, thank you again.
I have no respect for the father but think the son is phenominal,
further more I think Aubun deserves the year we've had, and I don't think
it will repeat next year. This is our redemption for 2004.

Interesting graduation rate study done by the boston globle....especially as it pertains to black football players.

Guess it's good at least Auburn & Oregon put those players to good use on the field, since they arent doing much of anything in the classroom.
