Thankful for...ok, I'm a Little Late

Yeah, yeah, I know I am a little late on giving up some thanks for the year.  But, hey, I was grading, sleeping, cooking, eating...all things I am thankful for.

Ok, I am going to combine this thanks stuff with one of my passions--college football.  Seems ok to me at the moment, now that the regular season is done (I do not count conference championship games as part of the regular season).  For my two cents, this was a fine example of a collegiate football season.

I am thankful to Stanford for beating the Ducks, and to USC for proof that Lame Kiffin is well, lame. 

I am thankful that Washington State stunk the season up, as I am no big fan of Mike Leach even though I have a PhD from Texas Tech.

I am thankful to BYU for deciding they could go college football alone--how's that working for you BYU?

I am thankful that Colorado State did not go winless, but McElwain has a lot of work to do with this program.

I am thankful for Baylor, who proved they were a fluke with RGIII and still beat Kansas State.

I am thankful for Texas A&M, they are proof that expansion is about money, but does not mean bad football.

I am thankful for Urban Meyer, who has now made expectations higher than reality for Ohio State (anyone remember what happened the last time OSU was 12-0, they lost to an SEC team--coached by Meyer).

I am thankful that Penn State did not fold up and go the way of the dodo bird this season.

I am thankful that the John L. Smith era at Arkansas was brief.  Woo Pig Sooie.

I am thankful that the people over at the barn finally realized what everyone else realized a few years back--Chizik is a barely average coach not worthy of an SEC program.

I am thankful that Bama is in a position to play for the SEC championship and the National Championship (particularly since I have academic ties and regional ties to this team).
