Wednesday Rambler

Now with the holidays over and football is winding down.   Basketball is cranking up and baseball will be starting soon, and I guess we are going to have hockey after all.   College football crowned their champion with the Alabama Crimson Tide securing the 7th title in a row for the SEC, with a beat down on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.   This leads me to ask is there any other conference in America that is dominating in one sport like the SEC or even come close?  Some may argue the ACC in basketball.  I counter with did the ACC ever win 7 national title in a row, no they have not.  Next year there will be a 4 team playoff to determine the champ next year in college football. Can 'Bama pull it off next year, I think they can cause they are not gonna lose much from this year's team.   Is it possible for the 8th year in a row the champ will come from the SEC?  I think so, cause this conference is a juggernaut in football.    With college football over we are now left with pro football winding down with the playoffs.  Who you got going to the Super Bowl?   The division round of the playoffs are this weekend my hope is we have New England and Green Bay in the the big game, and with Green Bay winning the whole enchilada.   I have always liked Green Bay small market team where the city is the owner of the team, we shall see.

Ever want something to start so bad you start dreaming about it? I have and it is with baseball.  Pitchers and catchers report soon next month and my team the Cincinnati Reds have made some moves to win the division and to make a World Series run.   The Reds are also kicking around what they have to do to lock up Bailey and Latos to long term deals.   I for one would like to see Mat Latos signed to a long term deal, cause the he can pitch.  Granted he is an emotional guy on the mound, once he learns to push past the some bad calls by the umpire behind the plate, he can be the most dominating pitcher on the mound.  

I am very excited about this baseball season coming, it is always better when your hometown team does well, unlike the guys down the street .  Even though the Reds blew up in the playoffs and could not win one game at home the Giants just wanted it more.  Can't fault anyone there you just tip your cap and go on.   This year hopefully the top spot in the lineup puzzle has been finally solved and we will see once the table has been set, we can more RBI steaks.  


Thats all I have for now make it a great one.
