I always thought that the jocks rooms should be divided up into little cubicles and each jockey has to stay in their cubicle until its time to race. Take away their cell phones, monitor conversations, etc.

Of course I also think that they should set up a little ring near the winners circle where the jocks can fight it out over objections and inquiries instead of the current system where the stewards just screw it up without any residual entertainment.

I am not even looking forward to OSU/Florida?

They were HANDED a chance to win something, and I am a big fan of EARNING a chance, FIVE weeks off....come on

EASILY could have a 16 team bracket, and IF THAT HAPPENS. I will INSTANTOUSLY become a fan.

You know, I was all hammered one night down at SIU and we were talking about favorite teams, I realized that I didn't have a College football favorite, so I choose Auburn, no idea why. I learned about them and got into their game. Then COMEDY stuff like 2004 happened and I said forget this. THAT team would have SMOKED both teams whoever played in the so-called championship game, they just had nothing to play for in their bowl game. Pride is a tricky thing in football. Like 30% of the Auburn team only cared about being healthy after they got screwed because they were thinking about going to 'the show' and not winning a game

Bowl system is just another cash cow for universities that already have a boat load of money

I'm a U of AZ alum so I dont care that much about winning the championship, since they have pretty much no shot . I just like betting the games.
