Bad Sports Time
It's been bad sports for me lately.
Football and bowling. One watching, one playing, both sucking.
We'll start easy, bowling tonight. 0 and 4. Yep, we lost all 3, by several, several pins. We came close on the last game, and I managed a 164, which is above my average, but still we lost. That's ok, we lost fair and square, and took our beating pretty well. The team we lost to, is good, very good, and I can see why they are in first place. They deserve to be. Still, I'd like to have at least taken one from them, maybe next time.
Now, on to football. We even talk about pro, where my poor Dolphins are 0 and 2, no running game, and 2 quarter backs that I think throw even numbers of receptions to interceptions. So, I've sworn off pro football for the year.
On to college, where to Gators were to be my shining spot this year. They played great against Tennessee. I'll even admit Tennessee played very well, and both teams could have won the game. The problem that has me swearing off college football this year is not a team, a player, or even a coach, it's the refs.
Florida lost the Outback bowl last year to Iowa fair and square. I can handle that, they got out played and beat. Florida lost to FSU last in part due to some very bad calls by ACC refs that kept the game close when it should not have been.
Florida lost to Tennessee in large part to 2 big mistakes by the refs. One, a time keeping error that gave Tennessee more time to drive down the field and score. I could forgive this mistake, it sounds innocent. The referee I want hung up by his eye lids in the one who watched the Tennessee player hit a Florida player in the face, then watched the Florida player hit him back, and only called a penalty on the Florida player to get Tennessee 15 yards closer for their winning field goal. I miss the fairness in that.
I don't make to take anything away from Tennessee, they played a good game, and I would have been ok with them beating Florida fairly. This however, is 2 out of the last 3 losses due to the Zebras and that is enough to make me give up college football this year. I've had enough. I'm tired of the cheating.
Enough venting. Enough football.
