Drew Brees
Once the Falcons get knocked out of the playoffs (it won’t take long I’m sad to say), I will pull for the Saints. Drew Brees is hard not to root for… take a look.

Christmas Tournament
The basketball tourney held in Commerce last week was a good one. The Tigers ended up 1-2 in their games.
The new gym provides a great game experience so hopefully they can add even more tournaments like this every year. There were some great teams in these games including some players who are college recruits.

Annual BCS Rant
I won’t waste much time complaining about the lack of a true champion in college football like I do yearly. I think there is a playoff system coming within 5 years so I won’t bother with my player protest theory.
I will say that the BCS supporters are hypocrites as usual. They don’t really have any consistent criteria for who should play in the “championship game”. They just know who they “think” should be there. One year they say “you must win your conference”. The next they say “you can’t have a home loss”. They change like the wind.
But they always make the point of the regular season being so important…”UNLIKE ANY OTHER SPORT” , they say. That is the key point they use to justify a moronic system to crown a champion. That is apparently not true since Bama had its shot at LSU in the regular season and fell short. Oklahoma St would at least be a new match up but their loss to Iowa St doesn’t inspire me to protest in their favor. I guess they could have just crowned LSU national champion after they beat UGA for the SEC Title. And since college athletics are so pure, so concerned with the student athletes, and so devoted to the importance of the regular season, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind giving up the money that comes with this year’s title game.

Congrats to Hal Lamb
Coach Lamb finally got over on Buford to win a AA State Title. After losing 3 straight in the title game to the Wolves, Calhoun won this year in overtime 27-24. After a miraculous comeback by Buford to tie the game, the Yellow Jackets prevailed in overtime with a field goal on 1st down after a Buford fumble.

Tigers Done
The Tigers’ football season came to an end last night in Lincolnton. The final score was not as bad as many had predicted before the game. Commerce made a good showing but just did not have enough to stay closer to the Devils. It was a valiant effort against a team that will definitely be in the final 4 playoff spots and likely in the championship game.

Joe Frazier: Fighter
Joe Frazier is reportedly in very poor health. Sad news for a great American boxer. In his time he was one heck of a fighter & involved in some of the greatest fights ever.
