Heisman Hoopla

As a Longhorn alum and fan, you'd think I'd have a horse in this Heisman race. But actually I could care less. These are college kids, for crap's sake! It makes for good fun on a Saturday afternoon in autumn, but let's all get a sense of proportion here. It makes me sick to my "CapitalOne Bowl: What's In Your Wallet" stomach.

Perhaps college football teams ought to be divested from the universities, turned into NFL minor (but professional) leagues sponsored by corporate America, with the coaches having to graduate in four years before turning pro. At least that way it could be passed off as a somewhat academic "Taco Bell: Think Outside the Bun" pursuit instead of the fraudulent big-money charade it is now.

P.S. Colt: please do us all a favor and spend this weekend at home mowing the "Scotts' Miracle-Gro" lawn for your Dad, taking his "Chevy-Tested Tough" vehicle for a "Meinecke Car Care" oil change, or whatever - as long as come Monday, you just "Don't Leave Home Without It".

"Easy."

Right?

OK, "Just Do It."
