Why College Football Rankings Are Terrible
The only constant with the college football rankings is that someone always believe they are terrible. Every Sunday (and now Tuesday), there is some argument with the rankings. The rankings are useless in today’s game with the selection committee being the final source of truth, but are they. The initial rankings demonstrated that the public…

Almost one year ago, the Tampa Bay Times ran a news article in which it was alleged that Jameis Winston had sexually assaulted a woman 11 months prior to the running of the article. Today, the University of Florida announced that it had suspended Treon Harris for being under investigation for sexual assault. These two…
Read More »Tony Stewart Should Stay Away from Sprint Cars
Last year, Tony Stewart’s season ended prematurely because he broke his leg while racing sprint cars. This is why many car owners won’t allow their drivers to recreationally race, but Stewart is his own owner. You would also think that this was a wake up call for him. If that wasn’t tonight may be.

Yesterday, on day 1 of vacation 2 with my girlfriend, we were involved in a single-car accident (everyone is ok). Going down a backwoods highway in Mississippi, a big rig must have blown out a tire and the rubber portion was laying flat in the left hand lane. The car in front of me swerved at the…
Read More »A New Seminole Logo
A couple of months ago, I heard a rumor that FSU may be changing the iconic Chief Osceola logo at the spring game this year. I, as were most of the fan base, were abhorred at the possibility of changing it. Why would they change something with such tradition? What’s the need? So, I…
