The timing of this thread couldn't come at a more ironic time!!!
I just got back to the house from work today. Turned on the TV to look and see what the latest was on the storms heading toward the East Coast and was inundated with political talk.
Geez, I can't tell you how tired I am of that!!!
So, considering in the past Mike Tirico and Scott Van Pelt have done a pretty decent job on talking sports. They aren't over the top, although Cowherd and others don't get on my nerves because I take them for what they are, and sure as hell Tirico is talking about what?
You guessed it! Politics and how Palin did well last night because she was a former sportscaster. WTF does that have to do with sports?!?!?
Exiled, you bring up a great point here.
While I don't agree with some fans that look at the possibility of being undefeated, at the possibility of a BCS game, etc., it isn't my place to tell them to chill out.
Let them enjoy their optimism. I don't agree with it...but there is no reason for me to dump on their hopes or dreams just because they have them.
I do mention things in conversations here that go against some of the very optimistic thoughts...like as good as Cody is, his first real test is going to be against Luigs when we play Arkansas. But, I'll never be found saying he isn't a great player and great addition to our season.
Playing Tulane and W. Kentucky the next two weeks won't provide much content for radio shows.
But, in 3 weeks, I'll be looking for stations that carry sports radio shows in Arkansas just to hear what they have to say. Frankly, it's far more entertaining.
