Something is wrong here.

I watch much less football than I used to, in part because many games on only on cable. Also because football is too violent, despite all the rule changes.

Coaches make millions, players get $0.

At a school like Notre Dame, that honors 4 year scholarships regardless of performance on the field (which MANY SEC teams do NOT), that grant is approximately $65,000 a year.

That is approximately the median income for the USA in 2017....$61,000+

Players in college do not need a paycheck from state universities that would pay them more than the professors and certainly more than staff at most colleges...the money from football and basketball is ridiculous and the coaches salaries are ludicrous too. But, making the athletes employees of the state is not a solution...

are contingent with no benefits.

That's how I am watching most games now. It saves time.

and trying to get my mind together for tomorrow which will be ugly.

In Pittsburgh (where I live) every bar is a sports bar, just about.

Not sure how comfortable I would be there with my knitting. 😁 I really like to knit while I watch TV, especially sports. Keeps me from eating all that wonderful junk food.

... I'll bet the managers won't mind you bringing your knitting. Just order something small, even nonalcoholic, and they'll allow you to watch the game. It would be hard to do while sitting at a bar, but most places have tables and booths too.

Should be an entertaining game.

The regular guys are doing the play-by-play. Wasn't sure if the bowl game would be on the local radio because of ESPN. But it is. Actually it is how I do most of the OSU football games - I can listen while doing other things around the house at the same time. Plus the guys doing the calling are very, vey good.

So it is OSU football on the radio while property stamping community band music and getting folders ready for our next concert. And maybe a glass of wine ....

Happy 2019 everyone!!

Fuck OSU.
