A Net Surfing Friday

Friday, December 29, 2023

Today was mostly about rest and recuperation after our action packed three days in San Diego.

After writing two blog posts dealing with our activities on Wednesday and Thursday, I sat back to see what was happening on the net.

It turns out that Washington and Texas

are playing against each other on Monday

They will meet in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year's Day.

Who knew?

A big game I'm guessing, but not the only collegiate football news on the net by any means.

The non-USA Top 20 College

Football Rankings were announced

These rankings include university teams from three countries, eight from Mexico, seven from Canada and five from Japan.

I have never seen Canadian or Japanese college teams in action but can attest to the high quality of Mexican collegiate football after our Europe Warriors games against the UNAM Pumas and the University of Chihuahua Águilas a few years ago.

This Sugar Bowl game is

getting a lot of net play

I wonder what the big deal is?

The Pop Tarts Bowl Trophy is

AWESOME!

The Kansas State Wildcats (9-4) devoured the North Carolina State Wolfpack (9-4), 28-19, to take home the hardware.

I wonder how much the job will pay for the person in charge of replacing and, perhaps eating, the Pop Tarts atop the trophy every few days?

Apparently Alaska Airlines is

all in on the Washington Huskies

2023 Wasabi Fenway Bowl

Boston College (7-6) - 23

Southern Methodist University (11-3) - 14

The state of Oregon wouldn't

root for the Huskies even if we

were playing Nazi Germany

It looks like the statistical

battle will center on the

UW Defense vs. the Texas Offense

Looks like the Huskies have

the edge in Head Coaching

I'm liking the Huskies apparent

edge in the passing game match-up

Again with the state of Oregon's

severe anger issues

What did the Huskies ever do to irritate the state of New Mexico?

Childish

I am led to believe that the Rose Bowl

will be of interest on Monday

The Rose Bowl matches up the #1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0) and the #4 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1).

As you may know, Michigan fans love to watch Ohio State fans wallowing in despair.

Friday then was a GREAT day

for the Wolverines Nation as the

Buckeyes lost in the Cotton Bowl

Childish

But Michigan fans found it to be pretty funny nonetheless.

So did I.

On to the NFL . . .

After the Los AngelesRams big win

over the Saints last weekend . . .

. . . they made two key acquisitions

in signing this Long Snapper . . .

. . . and reactivating LB Les Richter

As a Rams fan I take these two roster moves as signs that the organization is making a serious push for the playoffs.

A MUST win game on Sunday

in New Jersey to keep the

Rams playoff drive alive

Who would have thought that

the Rams might make the playoffs

when the 2023 season began

Certainly, not I.

I still say that this is Rams Head Coach

Sean McVay's best ever coaching job

Yes, better than what he did in leading the Rams to two Super Bowls.

Now for the net's fun, food news . . .

100% TRUE!

How much for two tacos?

200% True

I guess we'll watch this game if

there are no new Hallmark movies

playing that evening

GO DAWGS!
