I’m pulling for you this year.

Yay. However, I suspect it’s going to be a #PennState #OhioState National Championship game.

We have the talent to beat them but do we believe we can

You meant to write PSU-Texas

It was just a four team mini tournament though. This is the first time more than four teams were included.

Until well into the 60s, college teams played just 10 games, 11 if they got into a bowl.
Now the regular season has 12 games. Add in a conference championship, and the championship bracket, with potentially 4 games: first round, quarter, semi, & final.
16 games total.

ps Hockey is the only sport that matters

Have you followed the sad story of Sports Illustrated? Once home to great, truly great writers like Frank DeFord, a pioneer celebrating women, a tool my immigrant students used to master English, it fell to the LBO speculators.

That might have piqued your interest.

Think the Chiefs will 3-peat?

Think about that, and think about most Americans when it comes to politics. Those two things are the same basically.
