The sooner you realize Cowturd is a worthless skeleton hack with no insight into sports and a laughable tendency to use the most innaccurate similes possible, the sooner his bullshit career will be over.

I'm honored that you found the photo worthy of publishing on your site, but would appreciate a little byline and link to my website: Photo by S J Carter (www.sjcarterphotography.com). I understand that it's easy to grab stuff off the Internet, but I make my living with photography, so a little credit for the stuff that I've done is all I ask. Thanks. Jimmy Mr. Mitchell:

]]> Comment on College Football Playoff? No. by donknoup http://houndstooth.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/college-football-playoff-no/#comment-212 donknoup Wed, 10 Dec 2008 04:27:18 +0000 http://houndstooth.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/college-football-playoff-no/#comment-212 You make some very valid points. You have stated your position well. I personally would like to see a playoff system. Primarily because I think that it gives better opportunities for teams that would not normally meet a chance to play against each other. My personal opinion is that this would actually give us a better indication in the end of who has the best team. But, you do make a very good point with the potential of pulling 1st stringers in the final stretch if your team is doing well. On the other hand, with college football so competitive I'm not so sure this is the same situation we have with the NFL near post season. The one thing that I do really need to call you on those is this statement, "It doesn’t become a popular sport until March. Everything leading up to that is filler." I think this statement is grossly exagerated. While there might be a hint of truth to this, college basketball (for the larger schools with good programs) is very popular. Just try getting Illini tickets at Assembly Hall, tough to come by. I think what some may perceive as a lack of popularity during the season is really just more of a difference in the way the sport is played. With football, you pretty much have 1 game per week on Saturdays (yes I know there are exceptions to this, but bear with me). Basketball on the other hand has multiple games per week. While a typical football season consists of a dozen games, basketball players are more likely to hit the court about 30 times. The volume of games is totally different so you're just not going to see the same kind of turnout for basketball that you see with football. The same is true of media coverage. It doesn't mean it's not popular, just a sport that is played very differently from football. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject. I really enjoyed your posting.
