ESPN: EVEN SPOILING PERFECTION NOW

Fridays are for high school. Mondays and Sunday nights are for the NFL. If you want to show mid-majors on Tue/Wed/Thur go right ahead, I’ll just Tivo LOST for halftime.

Congrats on media attention guys:

My high school won 5 games in 4 years and they want me to come out on a Friday night and support them? Kiss my ass. WAC football would be better any night of the week than my high school. But I’m not a sore loser, no way.

The fulmer cup has made Clemson’s local newspaper http://www.independentmail.com/and/sports/article/0,1886,AND_8215_4897995,00.html

I must concur with my learned friend the Irish fan, even if he has an MBA from that school: Fridays are for high school football; Monday & Sunday for the pros. Maybe once in a while the Thursday night game for college, and in extreme cases another day.

However, if there’s no college ball available to watch, then we can watch another round of the next wunderkid (please not Jimmy Clausen) take on one of the high school dynasties, like Hoover, Union, Mission Viejo, et al, on a Saturday.

Having gone to middle school and high school less than an hour from Clemson, it always amuses me that they continue thinking every year will be the year that 1981 is reborn- the last line of that article clearly shows that they yet have no idea that the proportion of arrested players/championships is critical, as the last 30 years of history can certainly show (Miami, Nebraska, FSU, et al.)

Hmm…“very funny/very quirky.” Half right ain’t bad.

Good job making the paper. But isn’t it the same one that tried to bust UF’s chops for recruiting viloations? Is that irony? I can’t tell.

Even Joe Novak, after the “we’re prostituting our programs” blast, admitted later in the same article that he’s had recruiting success because of this TV exposure.

It’s a double-edged sword, but in most areas, including this one, high school football isn’t going to lose anything to a college game. It’ll work the other way around.

I’ve always found it funny that the anti-Friday/Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday night college football crowd always leans on the traditions of playing games on Saturdays, and not the potential impact that weekday games could have on the ability of these kids to attend class.

The tradition argument is not a good one, IMHO. It used to be a tradition that if the #1 team won the Big Ten and the #2 team won the SEC, that those two teams wouldn’t meet in the bowl season, so we wouldn’t have a true national title game. While I will never argue that the BCS is good, it’s exponentially better than the crap we dealt with before its inception, including the old “bowl traditions”.

Not to get to technical, but Shabbas begins Friday night at sundown, so technically these games still will not be able to pick up the critical orthodox viewership ESPN is seeking.

Wait till the Baptist ministers discover that Baylor is playing TCU on a SUNDAY…OMG wrath and venom will soon follow.

“You’re with me, Friday Nights”

(oh, sorry, wrong blog :)

High School Football games are a fantastic place to meet chicks.

Ah, yes, the joys of Friday nights that end in statutory rape charges…
