BSC Playoff

Earlier this week, the BSC for NCAA football had meeting about creating a playoff for the current bowl system. Right now, they select teams from each conference and have a certain amount of bowls. Many say this is unfair. They are considering doing something like the NCAA March Madness tournament, with teams in a bracket.

I think a playoff would be a great idea. The bowls are decided unfairly sometimes, but there is a study or something along that nature that shows TV programs would make $1 billion off of a BSC playoff. This year, I believe they did the right thing for the BSC National Title game, picking the top two teams to play in the game. It ended up being a one sided game, but still, it was a great game to watch. A BSC playoff would be the right decision.

Andrew Luck

Earlier today it was announced that the Colts will draft Andrew Luck from Stanford for the first pick of the NFL draft. ESPN had said the Colts have had a decision for a few weeks now but today, Indianapolis notified Andrew Luck of the decision. With the Redskins most likely taking Robert Griffen III, the Vikings are now on the clock. http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7831853/2012-nfl-draft-indianapolis-colts-tell-andrew-luck-no-1-pick-source-says

I think this is a good decision by the Colts to draft Andrew Luck. He may not have as much talent as RG3, but I feel like Luck is better at the talents him and RG3 have in common and also has a better QB mind. I feel like RG3 would be a good decision for the Colts, but not for a long term situation. I think RG3 is going to be like Donavan McNabb type QB, good in his first few seasons, but slowly loses his talents. I believe Luck will be a good long-term QB, like a Big Ben or even a Peyton Manning type QB.

Week 12

This week, Arkansas Razorbacks football coach, Bobby Petrino, was fired. A few weeks ago, he had crashed a motorcycle and suffered some injuries, and he also said he was the only one to crash. A few days later, we come to find out that there was also a young 20's woman who was on with him. He basically hired her himself as a "secretary."

Some are saying the firing was a bit too harsh, but how can you trust someone after they never told you about hiring someone and when they get into a crash, they lie about how many people were involved. Petrino must be so stupid. He might have gotten fired even if he didn't lie, but it wouldn't be as bad as it has been. And to top it off, he barley sends Akansas University an apology. He sent them a text message, that means nothing! At least be a man and say it face to face.

Week 11

This week North Korea basically ended the plan with the US and has started up their nuke program again. We traded them food for the end of their nuke program earlier in the year. Sunday, they released pictures and videos of their launch pad.

I don't know exactly what we did for North Korea to end the plan so fast, but we need stop North Korea's nuke program. Though they are making their selfs look stupid and just asking for war, we need to stop their program somehow. We cannot get into a war with them, and need to make sure their program ends.
