The Clock Ticks

Okay, I'd love to put up something like the cool clock that Kanka's Sports Page has, I love that thing. Anyway, the new season is just days away. Woohoo!!

I noticed an error on my main page that had been sitting there for far far too long. I had down that Florida's first title defense was supposed to be against Southern Mississippi. Instead it's Western Kentucky. That's a huge drop off from one to the other, isn't it? So did I make a mistake there, or was there a game scheduled? I noticed they played each other last year. I'd be interested if anyone has any insight on whether there had been a game scheduled and if one or the other had backed out.

So instead, we get a less interesting matchup, although maybe a bit more of an interesting story, in having Western Kentucky play against the champs. Okay, not that anyone is giving Western Kentucky much of a chance here. This is their first year as a Division 1-A team, which says about all there is that can be said right there. So to go with the whole boxing theme, it's kinda like a boxer getting a title match for their first pro bout. And probably with about as good a odds of winning as well.

I'm going to start making pages for each game, at least going forward, that will have previews and recaps for each title game. Some fun projects would be to go back and create pages with summaries of past games, and even start tracking title game records. Okay, talk about time consuming.... The things a football geek will come up with....
