This weekend “kicks off” Season #1 of BigTime College Football’s Official “Play For Pay” Era. No more $100 handshakes or bogus jobs for parents or any pretense of “amateurism” or any loyalty whatsoever to Dear Ol’ Alma Mater or ANYTHING But Pure & Simple You Pay Me and I’ll Play For You … Until Someone Pays Me More.
It’s “Cheer for Laundry” and hoping “my mercenaries whoever they are”; beat “your mercenaries whoever. they are” … this year.
Why bother with names on the jerseys. Let’s go with putting How Much $$$ That Player Is Making on the jerseys. Imagine “the lineman that just jumped offsides and costs us a TD” is making $500,000 !!!!!
Names of players mean nothing any more. The really good ones will be gone by January for mo’ $$$ somewhere else … the not so good ones will be “fired” and replaced.
For the first time my life, I cannot name one single player for any ACC team in North Carolina. I think I can name ONE player in the ACC … isn’t “Klubnik(?)” stil Clemson’s QB? If not .. I can’t name a single ACC player. Not a clue who the HFBCs are at WakeForest – UVA – VaTech – BC – Syracuse – GaTech – SMU – Stanford – California – and FSU. Is Cristobal still at “The U” and Marcus Freeman at ND?
Will Dour Dave still be at NCSU if ECU beats him …. AGAIN? After that embarrasing Brawl @ The Whozit Bowl.
Hellfire … I can only name ONE PLAYER in all of college football ….. Arch Manning at Texas … PERIOD.
All of the above notwithstanding …
I WILL be watching the 4-5 Games Of The Century this weekend … Texas @ TOSU … ECU @ NCSU … LSU @ Clemson … Alabama & FSU … etc etc … and, of course … The Dawn of The Belichick Era vs TCU amid Kenan’s Lofty PInes on Monday.
Will the 50,000 “among Kenan’s lofty pines” all be looking for Bill’s post adolescent girlfriend? Will she make an appearancer on the field …. maybe in the Ramses costume ???
I will still enjoy the Games while absolutely not caring who wins any of’em.
I realize some / many of you DO care who wins. How else can you prove you are a better human being than your neighbor who attended HatedRivalU ? How else indeed.
Tailgating can still be enjoyable … ham biscuits. deviled eggs, brownies, lemon squares, cheese straws and Bloody Marys … and old friends (or clients) … the $5 bottle of water and standing in line for your turn to pee comes later. … AND those 100s of TV timeouts every 10 minutes.
Unless “the band” is playing some gay/trany version of your alma mater, that should still be inspiring as will the nubile cheerleaders and chubby “flag girls”.
If you did spend a ton on tickets PLEASE do not sit in the stands during those 100s of TV timeouts and piss & moan about NIL / The Portal … we are so beyond THAT now. If you cannot accept that … STAY HOME and watch and piss & moan in the privacy of your den.
Attending college football games and all the hassle and expense that involves is NOT as bad as standing in line all day at the incredibly mismanaged NCDMV to get your license renewed.

Will the start of 2026 College Football mean the end of 24/7 saturation coverage of The Great Cracker Barrel Kerfluffle? A 2-day news story that raged like an LA wildfire for over a week. “Uncle Herschel” is returning to The Logo … but the terminally Woke CEO is still planning to paint the CB rocking chairs in rainbow colors to attract her LGBTQ+ buddies … and offering free GooGoo Clusters to any grossly unattractive they/them with purple hair and a nose ring. …
There is NO evidence yet that CB servers are being told by the CEO-ette to spit in the mashed potatoes of anyone wearing a MAGA cap.
If you “do social media” of any kind … are you planning to devote at least eight posts to the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce engagement announcement … using all eight posts to emphasis how much you “don’t care” about it? Do BobLee a favor and DON’T.
Speaking of The Cracker Barrel Kerfluffle … my Facebook post this AM was pretty freakin’ awesome … repeated below just for YOU …

Starbucks Announces … THE MAGA MACCHIATA
If you’ve been living under a rock the past 10 days you have avoided The Great CRACKER BARREL Kerfluffel. Lucky You!The rest of us have found our 24/7 existence pretty much dominated by a 2-day news story that became a Global OMG … demonstrating the inherent danger of social media to glorify and magnify the trivial into a STOP THE PRESSES CALAMITY.Was “Uncle Herschel” actually mentioned during DJT and Vlad’s Alaskan confab ???You surely know by now that an unnamed spokesman (NOTthe Woke CEO) for CB has announced “Uncle Herschel” IS BACK on the CB logo after a 10-day hiatus. YIPPPEEE … now back to global conflicts and fitting a coupla 100 prominent Dems in orange jumpsuits…No mention was made in the Logo announcement re: IF the Woke CB CEO will – (1) have the porch rocking chairs painted in rainbow colors to attract her LGBTQ+ buddies …. ??? …. (2) will avocado toast be added to the CB menu ?Predictably, the usual goggle-eyed, obscenity ranting lib lunatics used the CB Kerfluffle to insult the priorities of “crazy MAGA cultists” to make such a BFD over a restaurant chain’s marketing strategy…causing yours truly to wonder how THEY would respond IF …. the weejun (or Berskenstock) was on the other foot … SUPPOSE …Starbucks Announces a new beverage option in hopes of atttracting a new customer demographic …. A MAGA MACCHIATA … and …..lets also modify the Starbucks logo by …Putting a MAGA cap on their mermaid logo …. YEEEEE HAA!
Any guesses how many Starbucks would be molatov cocktailed by noon !!!

I REALLY AM committed to posting more often here. Still codjutating how best to do it in a world gone completely INSANE. Fishing with my good friend “Larry” yesterday, he hung a major guilt trip on me for not posting more often.
