College Football Title, Pacman And The Lottery

Tonight is the final night of the college football season.  The ACC who at the start of the season was picked 5th by the experts as the worse football conference of the power five for the second time in three seasons has a team playing for the national championship.

Is this not the same conference that won the football title in 2014 with Florida State after the 2013 season.  Is this not the same conference that won the basketball title last year. Was this not the same conference that won the baseball title in 2015? Don't see how the ACC can be seen as last in any thing.

The experts are picking Alabama.  I think the key to this game will be can Clemson stop Alabama because I think Clemson will score at least 30?  I don't think Bama has played a player with Watson's ability since Cam Newton.  Clemson 30-27.

Under the head line of Now I Have Seen a Everything.  Can any team give away a game any better than the Cincinnati Bengals did Saturday night?  First could the Bengals after the interception just celebrate running back to the sideline instead of running down the tunnel to leave the stadium?  Anybody can fumble at anytime so every team has to live with turnovers.

The penalty for head hunting was and act of stupidity but the real clincher was Pac Man Jones.  Isn't this the same player who was suspended for the 2007 and part of the 2008 season for conduct off the field. In a world when the worse player in the league makes a half million a year you would think before any business gives any amount money they could expect conduct that would give the illusion that that person would act in a way not to embarrass the organization or the league.

His  rant on Instagram should be enough to let him sit the entire 2016 season.  It is funny what being able to run fast, throw, catch or score touchdowns that companies allow any person with limited thinking ability is allowed to work for them. The signs were there when Pac Man was in college.  The signs were there about Johnny Manziel but the ability to put fannies in seats caused an organization to worry about money over long term stability of the team.

There are many in this country who do not believe in the lottery.  I play when ever the amount gets over 200 million which I think would just about pay off bills if  I won.  They are predicting the amount will be near 1.3 billion by Wednesday.  If last Friday and Saturday there were 450 million in sales why would you not assume it will be closer to 1.5 billion by Wednesday.

If I was to win it all Wednesday I find it hard to fathom how much one million is. After taxes 1.5 billion would be about 800 million take home.  Starting Thursday my job will be  to count it to make sure it is all there
