College Football Thoughts

Some thoughts and observations now that Indiana has won the national championship over the Miami Hurricanes.

Was having these thoughts anyway and thought I'd jot them down and post on Substack.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

The Indiana Hoosiers won the national championship last night and I feel good for them and the whole state of Indiana. Also last night the Tennessee Titans hired Robert Salah as their new head coach. Though I wish Saleh well - I am worried for him. First the Jets and now the Titans? Is he the NFL's Roto Rooter man?

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day. Please remember the message of Dr. King and don't judge a person by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Put another way - don't be the type of person who judges a book by its cover.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

With the news that Bo Nix has a broken bone in his ankle and is out for the rest of the year the path to the Super Bowl is now wide open for the winner of today's game between New England and Houston in Foxboro. Hate to jinx it but I really like the Pats chances. Despite everyone seemingly picking the Texans - there's a reason Vegas still has the Pats as the favorite.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Canada already had the very real danger of Alberta voting to become an independent nation but instead of going to Alberta to try and put out that fire Canadian PM Mark Carney went to China and lit a bigger one. Will the results of this "trade deal" with China see the province of Saskatchewan join with Alberta? With those two gone what's to keep British Columbia from declaring independence since they are now geographically cut off from the rest of Canada? Quebec has long wanted to be independent. How long before the other provinces follow suit? Are we witnessing the disintegration of Canada in real time?

Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

A little little language nugget as we await the fall of the Islamic regime in Iran: today the word "polygraph" basically means lie detector test in many people's minds but the word originally was used to denote a machine that would copy a letter as it was being written. Thomas Jefferson was big into those sorts of machines.

Every morning I wake up and wonder if the regime in Iran toppled while I was sleeping. I'm not worried about missing it so much as bothered by the fact that each night it doesn't happen is another night dozens of protesters are killed by the mullahs. I pray that it happens soon.
