Hmm. You'd think a college football player, of all people, should understand that doing something for free is totally cool, but being paid for it is suddenly immoral.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY  

The Bath School Bombing (1927)

Over the course of several months leading up to May 18, 1927, disgruntled school board member Andrew Kehoe hid hundreds of pounds of explosives inside the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Michigan. That day, after destroying his farm—which was slated for foreclosure—he detonated the explosives inside the school and set off a bomb in his vehicle. The massacre is considered the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in US history.

One of the craziest and most underknown stories in American history.

Maybe it's just me, but as the shooting in Texas was not effected with an assault rifle type weapon, coverage seems to have been muted, though there is some wedding happening.  My FB lit up with stuff after Parkland and I've seen only one post on this one, and it didn't go past 3-4 responses.

I realize FB is not an accurate window into how folks think, but it can afford a bit of a clue.  It seems to have evolved into a political discussion area, and not a very good one these days.

The wife turned on the interminable TV coverage when she got up, but it's upstairs and I can barely hear it which is fine.  I went up to get more coffee and she was going on about the castles and her dress and whatever else.

It seems to be a female kind of thing.  I asked her why there were American flags being draped in places and she informed me the gal is American.  Huh.

I'd rather have news on my front page. I'm not a fan of weddings though. As in any of them.

Napoleon wasn't French, Hitler wasn't German, and Stalin wasn't Russian.  Napoleon and Hitler invaded Russia on the same day (June 22) after being thwarted by the British.

This is one of my biggest beefs with modern society and no one can seem to provide a rational answer:  why does Great Britain still have royals and why in the holy hell does anybody care about them?!?  I don't know why it irks me so much, but WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Then I consider the people Americans worship and the only difference is ours come from numerous idiotic bloodlines and GB's comes from one.  Whether it's the Kardashians or Honey Boo Boo or whoever the hell else, they're random, godawful, and dwelled upon for no rational reason.  Same with the royal family.

Here's what I actually came here to post about - I wasted some minutes on ESPN.com and the college football section is still gossiping about UCF's self-proclaimed NC and how Bama brustles at the idea.  So I'm sure ESPN, the sports gossip factory, will keep this going all off-season for clicks and giggles.

Hey, how about if they played?  Would Bama be a 10 point favorite?  12?  More?  The only thing UCF has is it beat the team that beat Bama.  But we all know if we went by that, then you could end up with Akron being the NC every year.

What was the last year news was news and not a swimsuit contest over the nation's oogling eyeballs?

Different people find interest in different things, which is fine with me, in general.

I commented earlier about how many channels I see that are 100% advertising on my cable.  Some people watch, apparently.

Some people think watching football is a waste of time and don't understand it.

So I guess it isn't close to one of my biggest beefs.  I generally just eat beef and don't have them.  Having a beef is a waste of time unless it's on the hoof.

Alabama would be a 2 TD favorite over UCF easily IMHO, and probably have beaten them 35-7 or so.

Auburn was not that great a team, despite their wins over UGA and Bama at home.  They had a good D and one good running back, but they were a better than average team that got beat by UCF, who also has a better than average team.

Now, if Alabama had been relegated to the Peach Bowl, they might have lost to UCF, but not if it mattered.
