Boise State or Oklahoma State

Hawk, I'll be honest with you, I'm not interested in arguing back and forth over something as trivial as college football. As much as I enjoy it - it's the opiate of the people today. It's big business, pure and simple. I don't like it near as much as I did back in the day. As for Georgia, they're tied for 1st in the SEC East

I know Georgia isn't what it was back when I paid attention closely (Vince Dooley days - I'm 52 years old), but beating Georgia on the road in the SEC still says something.

Today, college football has nothing to do with "student athletes" and everything to do with the corporate influence in the whole thing (surprise, surprise - we're all slaves to Corporate America in damn near everything we do).

Yes, it does prove something and Georgia isn't half bad this year either. I think the real test though will come next season when they open the season against Michigan State in Michigan.

Honestly, man, I'm with you. It's supposed to be a fun diversion, not something to place your entire sense of identity on.

But discussing it ends up being a decent way to pass the time, and there's no more meaningless conversation than one that will ultimately end up with a group of strangers playing a game

Sports are younger people's politics. Lol

I used to talk politics a whole lot more when I was younger....
Once you realize there is really no difference between the two parties other than rhetoric and therefore becoming disillusioned with the entire political process has a way of reducing your interest in that subject. Sports has its own politics but it is easier to separate it from what happens on the field.

Wow. I guess I just got me some polotics edgumication.

Sorry, I was just trying to say that political discussions aren't just for "older" people, I was much more involved and active when I was younger until I was exposed to some of the not so pretty underbelly of politics.

...back to our regularly scheduled sports discussion.
