THE NON-REAL ESTATE POST

Every now and again, a post has nothing whatsoever to do with real estate. This is one of them.

After a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, I've confirmed a long held belief.College football is the the greatest sport in America, and here's why:
Games are played at The Big House and at The Horseshoe. They are played on The Farm, in The Swap and in The Bayou After Dark. They gather at Happy Valley, Death Valley and Between The Hedges. One stadium has a BLUE field.

Some rivalries are from the late '80's....the 1880's. They were/are coached by guys named Bear & Bo, The Ole' Ball Coach & The Mad Hatter..Joe Pa' and Woody. Some of them have coached at the same school for generations.

While the players don't play for money(save the snickering), they play their hearts out for things like The Oaken Bucket, The Apple Cup, Paul Bunion's Axe, The Iron Bowl, The Fremont Cannon,The Milk Can and The Bedlam Bell.Some of the biggest college football cities are Ann Arbor, Tuscaloosa, Boise, Baton Rouge and Knoxville.There's Austin, Lincoln and Auburn. I don't know about you, but I couldn't find most of them without a football map.

And then there are the mascots..You have a Nittany Lion and a Georgia Bulldog, there's the LSU Tiger ,Traveler the white Trojan horse and Bevo The Bull. Mind you ,those are all REAL animals. Toss in a push up crazy Duck, an ugly Stanford Tree that has no real meaning, and an Orange Syracuse looking tennis ball thingy and you have mascot craziness.So there you have it. All the reasons college football is the greatest sport in America...well, right up to March. Because that's when March Madness kicks in. But right now, I think I'll make a turkey sandwich.
