Some new year thoughts

Happy New Year, Everybody!

People are asking me, which team do I like tonight in the National Championship Game???? The answer is WHAT do I like — and that's defense on both sides of the ball. Notre Dame doesn't like to give up touchdowns on the ground, just two all year. And Alabama's D has kept them in every game, except for when they were trying to corral Johnny Football. We'll see how good ND's defense is tonight after three quarters of getting pounded on by that ‘Bama O-Line that impressed me when I saw them in person the first week of the season against Michigan.  Alabama 20 Notre Dame 13.

Random New Year Thoughts:
TCU Football weathered the Storm of 2012 and is well-positioned to compete for the Big 12 title and beyond in 2013. Ten out of 11 starters returning on defense sunnies up the outlook, don’t you think?
  • Those bemoaning TCU’s bowl loss to Michigan State might want to stop and think about how many times the Frogs have won one-point games, and for that matter, really close games the last several years. You can’t win ‘em all. But it was really fun at Boise in 2011!
  • TCU Basketball tipped off their Big 12 gauntlet at home last Saturday against Texas Tech. Although things didn’t go the way the Frogs wanted, they will surprise a few teams before we get to the middle of March. You watch.
  • Look out, here comes the TCU Baseball Season! The first home game is February 22nd against Cal-State Fullerton. Be prepared for a fun first year in the Big 12.
  • Cowboys missed the playoffs again.  Are you really surprised?
  • Texas A&M’s Johnny Football surely impressed this year and changed the way people look at Aggie Football. Now, let’s see a repeat performance with a rebuilt offensive line next year. It only gets tougher from here and the Heisman adds an extra bull’s eye to No. 2’s uniform.
  • By the way, the Aggies went back to an early-1970s look with the two stripes on the shoulder in a tip of the cap to former head coach Emory Bellard, Bubba Bean and Ed Simonini. Like it.

    Kick ‘Em High!
