Why does it take an 83 year old man, who will be coaching only a few more years, to have the most forward thinking attitude in a conference stuck in the 70's?  Joe Paterno, who will be making his 36th bowl appearance this Friday against LSU in The Capital One Bowl, thinks his league needs to add a 12th team and have a title game.  Gee, no kidding!!  A league in their own backyard, the MAC, has been playing a championship game for 12 years---12!!!!  And the Big 10 just now realized this is a good idea?  But bear in mind this is a league that still wants to cling to the sanctity of the Rose Bowl rather than have a playoff.  And it has its teams ending its season long before anyone else, making them good and rusty come… 2009-12-26T03:11:51+00:00 http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/my-favorite-season-of-the-year/ http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/my-favorite-season-of-the-year/#When:16:41:17Z First things first.  I want a playoff.  I think it's insane that there is not a playoff.  At least a 4 team, if not an 8 or 16 team playoff, to end the college football season, isn't too much to ask, is it?  But, that being said, I love bowl season---crazy match-ups in odd locations every night of the week for nearly 3 straight weeks.   And you know what? One has nothing to do with the other.  You can have it all.  Look Southern Miss or Middle Tennessee State aren't a factor in the playoffs so why can't they have a bowl trip to New Orleans?---It's great for the kids and great for fans.  But that doesn't mean we can't have a playoff to determine a national champion.  While schools are battling in Albuquerque and Saint Petersburg and New Orleans for a bowl title this weekend,… 2009-12-17T16:41:17+00:00 http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/notre-dame-is-finally-irrelevent/ http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/notre-dame-is-finally-irrelevent/#When:14:32:20Z The demise of Notre Dame football is as much its own doing as the mediocre won-loss record or anything critics want to say about head coach Charlie Weis.  Notre Dame has become irrelevant on the major college football landscape.At one time the rich tradition and history may have attracted the game’s best players or maybe the fact the Irish had their own television network (NBC) to televise their home games was a reason for players to go to Notre Dame.  Today what decent team is not on TV all the time?  Heck, the SEC has its own network too, as a matter of fact it has CBS AND several other ESPN channels AND a syndicated SEC Network channel.In the five years under Charlie Weis Notre Dame has not beaten any team that has finished the season with fewer than four losses.  What may be even more… 2009-11-25T14:32:20+00:00 http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/welcome-to-the-new-and-improved-coxsportstv.com/ http://www.coxsportstv.com/blogs/cst/welcome-to-the-new-and-improved-coxsportstv.com/#When:15:01:08Z Welcome to the new and improved COXSPORTSTV.COM!
