"The coaching schemes continue to evolve, yet stay similar. Sure, the pro-style offense dominates at programs like USC and Notre Dame, but gimmicky offenses continue to add excitement.

While some of the mobile or Run 'n Shoot QBs of the game may either switch positions or not work out in the NFL, you can't deny that college football just wouldn't be as great if Colt Brennan didn't get the second chance presented by June Jones. Pass-heavy teams are fun to watch, even if they usually have difficulty with the big-time programs."

It matters because most of us are tired of watching swimming and beach volleyball on TV. Of which neither sport has as much contact as ballroom dancing.

Yes, much more exciting than beach vball, which is simply an excuse to show off your tan and your wedgie.

And solo-sychronized swimming was part of the Games in '84. Yep, you read that right.

I read the first paragraph of the DMN front Sports page story on the "Bad Man of Badminton" and how the chicks dig this STUD and moved onto to the Business Page. Seriously -the Badman of Badminton. What a STALLION
