Georgia football

For the second week in a row, Georgia won in a game in which the end result was constantly in doubt until the very end. They were good games. Of course, Georgia won and that helped. But they both showed teams which were evenly matched, battling each other for the ultimate victory. Both games were fun. I suppose I might not like it as much if Georgia had lost, but that is not the way it turned out, so I will live with the consequences. Ha Ha.

Meanwhile, there were upsets; there were teams which rose to the pre-season talk and those that did not. In the unique American rhythm, we will go on to Pro Football today, then the rest of the secular week. Next Thursday, we will start the process all over again. Until some time in January or February, when the Super Bowl will come as some titanic letdown of flash and powder and a whimper of a football game which probably won't match the excitement of the playoff games that lead to it.

That is the same with college football these days. The bowl games, in their overwhelming numbers, will come and go. Some will be great. Some will be a let-down because some bowl committee didn't match the teams well enough. Ultimately, they will lead to the championship game which might be a let-down. And who knows when it will be played. They always seem to change the date on which they play.

But we are at the beginning of the process now and we can show our allegiances by wearing the team colors and watching the games, both on television and in person, and we can follow their progress through the long season.

Until it is all over, the champions crowned, the bowls won and we drift off into the enui of the sports season between football and the beginning of baseball and March Madness. Woe is to us.

Go Dogs. Go Generals. Go Wildcats.
