Resolutions
People lets get this whole resolution thing straight. I am not being a pessimist here I am being a Realist. Now look. It is awesome if you have something in your life which needs change and you want to change it. But dont be making some outrageous resolutions you wont be able to keep. If you are going to do anything, set small goals (which is different from resolutions) which will be much more manageable. In other words, dont just say your going to lose 25 pounds this year. Cause if thats all you say, your not losing anything. It is great to want to improve your life, but be realistic, cause if you dont your setting yourself up for failure

Bowl Predictions and Urban Meyer Prediction
Let’s begin with the whole Urban Meyer issue. At first thinking he may be leaving for good, it is real no surprise when he came out and said he is just taking a leave of absence. Some coaches were made to stay in the game for awhile and he is one of them. I do not know how serious his health issues are, but it sounds like he wants to be back in time for the start of the 2010 season start. Maybe this whole issue is not as serious and he just needs some down time. Whether you hate or love him, he makes college football better and therefore I do really wish a speedy recovery to Meyer. But an interesting question is, what if the Gators want to stick with the new Interim Coach, who is currently their offensive coordinator. It may seem foolish to not want to take Meyer back, but if he can put up similar results is it really to crazy to think they may stick with him? After all, it Is not like Meyer can not get a job somewhere, tons of teams would be more than happy to have him as their head coach. I don’t think it will happen, I believe he will eventually return to Florida and even though I am not real crazy about the Gators, I do wish him well and hope he comes back, for football. After all, Tim Tebow will be entering the draft, so we will finally have something in the news of college football other than Tebow this and Tebow that.
On to college bowl games, I did not cover all the predictions but I covered many of which sparked some interest in me. I will not say scores, but I will say who will win.
Monday Dec 28th 5:00, Texas AM and Georgia. It will be right before MNF, and it should provide an interesting match up, of two teams who had relative successful seasons last year. If I was going to put money, I would put it on Texas AM
Tues 29th 15 Miami vs 25 Wisconsin 8:00, can the Badgers of the Big Ten be successful when they come from a conference who tends to slump in the Bowl Season, or will they prevail against Miami. The Badgers may only be 25 in the nation but they are a lot tougher than the paper may seem to tell. Although it will be close, I have to give it to Miami.
Nothing much going on the 30th. 20th Arizona and 22nd Nebraska maybe a interesting match up. Nebraska looked impressive against Texas (who should not be in the BS…BCS game but well get to that) so I have to give it to Texas.
31st. You have Oklahoma vs Sanford. I hate to say it but I Have to give it to Sanford. Oklahoma just kind of fell a part this season, not having Sam Bradford really hurt them.
Some interesting games start the 1st New Years day.
11:00 Northwestren vs Auburn, don’t laugh at this one folks, the Wildcats have had improvement this year, enough maybe to beat Aurburn
1:00 13Penn State vs 12LSU Tigers. Paterno vs Miles. I haven’t seen much of LSU this season but being number 12 in the nation means they done something right. Another very close game but I think I call an upset and give it to Penn State.
1:00 WVU against FSU. Hey it is Bobby Bowden’s last game. The man deserves to go out in a blaze of glory. I think his players will win it for him. FSU wins over WVU
4:30 8 OSU vs 7 Oregon, As much as I hate Ohio State, I want them to win. On that note, I don’t think they will. The Big Ten struggles this time of year and I think Oregon may be too much, in what will be a very close game. But I have to give the win to Oregon.
8:30 3 Cincinnati vs 5 Florida. The world found out Florida are not God of the NCAA and I think Cincinnati is powerful enough to beat the Gators. I give the win to Cincinnati, one of teams I would rather see in the BCS game over a over hyped Texas team.
Jan 2nd 9:00
MSU vs Texas Tech. I talk about this game because the Big Ten is part of the Big Ten. I am giving the game to Texas Tech. Why? Because MSU only accomplishment this season is beating UM, who sad to say had another deplorable season.
Jan4 8:00
6 Boise State vs 4 TCU two teams who I feel should be in the game instead of Texas. I feel this is going to be the very best game of the Bowl Season, it will be very close, very competitive, it will be an outstanding game. I give it to TCU in an extremely close game.
Jan 5th
10 Iowa vs 9 Georgia Tech . Another close game of two very great teams. I am going with the Hawkeyes
Jan 7 BS Bowl
2 Texas vs 1 Alabama
I do not think Texas should be in here. They are going o have many other chances, give it to a team like Boise State or TCU or Cincinnati. But no. I got a great feeling about my boy from Flint MI Ingram, I think he will lead them to a nice victory over Texas, for a BCS Championship.

Chri$tma$ or CHRISTmas
Christmas. The wonderful time of the year in which the Western World (well the consumerist world) indulges itself in food and gifts. Sounds kind of negative doesn’t it? I know what your thinking. Come on Dr. J, no reason to be Mr. Scrooge just because it is another year you wont be getting those sideline super bowl tickets. But has our society, even some of the people who claim themselves as Christians get engorged with the chri$tma$ season. But the thing of the matter is it is not about the chri$tma$ season, it is about the CHRISTmas season. It is about realizing during the CHRISTmas season, we are to remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ (even though it is speculated he was born in the spring) it is the time when we celebrate the birth of the savior.
Now I am not out to make enemies. There’s nothing wrong with looking forward to giving some gifts, even getting some special is ok to look forward to. I know I’m looking forward to seeing family this Christmas and just hanging around the house. But what I can not over look, is the fact this is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord Savior. The same Savior we are to love, worship and celebrate the ultimate gift he gave us when he died on the cross. We need to move away from this society in which we are about getting and buying expensive gifts and remember what is really important. Friends, family. Being thankful for what the Lord has given us. It may not be Thanksgiving, but
we have so much to be thankful for, even if there are others who are better off than you, because you are better off than others.
Now I am not trying to be a kill joy this season, but I just want to stress this enough. There are more important things than gifts this season. And this season, let it be this season, if you haven’t already, be the season you realize those things which are more important. The things which is really what makes Christmas so special.
Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year
