About Brian »

College football is a passion.........now there is an understatement. I have been to many venues for a college football game, including but not limited to: Penn State, Auburn, Michigan, Clemson, Ole Miss, Florida, Notre Dame, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Miss St, LSU & Iowa........it is hard to pick a best....... college football offers too many great experiences to include only a few !!!

I also have spent a bit of time compiling a playoff solution because I believe it can be done in a way that marries tradition and playoffs. Unless you want to practice intellectual dishonesty, you have to admit that the reasons floated for not giving the fans what they want just don't make sense......See the proposal at www.collegefootballsolution.com

Brian,

I don't mean to spam your wall with my article, but I read your CWS championship preview and thought you might enjoy my opinion piece on the CWS.
