TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Is everyone sure that Florida State beat Auburn to win the National Championship on Monday night?
Absolutely sure?
Like, 100% sure?

There are too many Tidy Bowls, too many 6-5 teams playing, and not enough well-balanced contests between teams that have never met before. FSU and Auburn? Are you serious? They're all of what, 250 miles apart? How does that build interest?
The "National Championship" needs to go back to being the mythical beast it was when AP and UPI polls anointed them -- or argued about them. Screw this "Let's settle this, we'll have UCLA play USC -- again!" mentality.
It's just something else for losers to gamble on .... let them go gamble on basketball or Australian Rules.
I came across this on a sports business web site:
College bowl games averaged 48,793 fans per game during the ‘13-14 season, marking the lowest average attendance since the ‘78-79 season (48,404 for 15 games). This season also marks the third straight year of declining bowl season attendance. The total attendance of 1.71 million fans at the 35 bowl games this season was the lowest since ‘06-07, when there were only 32 bowls.

They are closer together than that. I would guess maybe 140-150 miles.
Reading cursive isn’t necessary to attend FSU.
The Sun-Sentinel newspaper has various galleries dedicated to fans of various Florida cheerleaders ranging from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Florida Panthers. Here is one of FSU’s fans:
awwww my balls!!
I’m not a sports fan, but I wouldn’t mind handling their footballs.
Math is hard.
Did you see A.J. McCarron’s mother’s tweet about Winston? She asked if he was speaking English. Of course, later she apologized.
He can NOT speak English. How does he pass a college course? How did he pass high school? They’re not doing any of those athletes any favors by passing them along. My wife said “Two years after Winston finishes his pro career he’ll be working at a convenience store.”
Now that is funny.
They bash Alabama, but our QB before AJ was a Rhodes scholar finalist.
Everybody probably saw this, but for those that didn’t...

An another instance of Common Core graduates in action.
Been seeing stories like this in the past couple of seasons about what money losers bowls are. But they’re adding 4 more bowls this coming season.
