GENERAL VIEWS ( 13th Edition )

I know today is Thursday and my General Views blog is supposed to be on Wednesday. We have had sickness in the family and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong around The ArmChair Coach's household. Things are looking a little better, so here is my Wednesday blog today.

Things have been so crazy the last few days, I think it would make me feel better if I could have a quick venting session on a couple of things the sports media keeps harping on. Here it goes.

TIGER WOODS ACCIDENT has been talked about and talked about. You see it on sports reports, you see it on news broadcasts, you here it on the radio sports talk shows, the news radio talk shows and if you looked you would probably see it written about on the walls of men and women bathrooms across the world. The point is, he had only minor cuts and injuries. Who cares if he had a spat with his wife. You and I have spats with our wives and we don't get talked about. Who cares if he had an affair, there are a lot of Tom, Dick and Harry's out there that have affairs. The bottom line is he didn't get seriously hurt, he didn't hurt anyone else, SO LET HIM AND HIS FAMILY DEAL WITH IT!!!

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL thinks they are the God's gift to College Football. Yes they have a rich football tradition, they have won National Championships and they have had some legendary coaches walk the sideline in South Bend, Indiana. There are other College Football programs with rich football traditions, that have won National Championships and had legendary coaches walk their sidelines as well. These other programs don't get the same treatment that Notre Dame gets. Notre Dame gets to go to BCS Bowl Games if they win 9 ball games. Other programs have to win their conference or win 10 or 11 games to be considered for a BCS Bowl Game. The President, Athletic Director and fans of Notre Dame think that they can get any coach to come and coach their football team just because they are Notre Dame. They are not an elite program in College Football any more. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish could be an elite program again if they would get off of their high horse and join a conference. BEING AN INDEPENDENT HAS SET THEM WAY BACK!!!!

*****THE ARMCHAIR COACH GAME BALL OF THE WEEK goes to the Chesterfield High School Rams for winning their 3rd consecutive Class 1A State Football Championship*****

THE ARMCHAIR COACH went 10 and 10 in game predictions this past weekend. My record for the season is 188 and 68 for a percentage of .734.

Until Friday.
