If one is resolute, does one still need resolutions?<\/p>\n
Nevermind.<\/p>\n
Welcome, 2014. While this is ostensibly a holiday that celebrates the new year, it is in fact the Day of Constant Collegiate Football.<\/p>\n
I herewith bear the gift of NO \u2014 silent, that is \u2014 gridiron gab and color commentary.<\/p>\n
Thus, if you watch television on this Day of Constant Collegiate Football, you must turn off the sound and listen to the 1812 Overture instead. Or anything except the two guys who allegedly tell you what’s what. I also favor Bach and Scarlatti while watching gladiators of the gridiron butt heads over real estate. It dampens the sound of concussion.<\/p>\n
So I offer here all the play-by-play and color commentary that you will need to watch one bowl game after the other. I guarantee that after reading this dialogue, you will need no verbal narrative description of what you see right before your eyes. This dialogue is one size fits all.<\/p>\n
Play-by-Play guy: And Jones of the Mighty Mucklucks sweeps the end through a really big hole; he\u2019s at the 49, the 40, the 35, and a touchdown! So it\u2019s Mucklucks 6, Mudhens nothing. That was some run<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Colorguy: Without question, it was a tremendous run. If the Mudhens don\u2019t play better defense, they could lose this game. Defense is the name of the game<\/i><\/p>\n
PBP: Here\u2019s the kick, and it\u2019s good. Mucklucks 7, Mudhens nothing. That was some kick.<\/i><\/p>\n
C: Without question. The kicker used his right foot, and it went through the uprights. If the Mucklucks continue to score this way, they might just win this game<\/i>. Offense is the name of the game.\u00a0<\/em>Of course if they don\u2019t and Mudhens score more, the lucks will lose. You have to score points.<\/i><\/p>\n PBP: So here\u2019s the kickoff, Smith of the Mudhens fumbles the catch! The ball is loose, but the Mudhens recover. The hens caught a break<\/i>. Catching breaks of the name of the game.<\/em><\/p>\n C: Without question, If the Mudhens don\u2019t hold on to the ball, it could cost them points. That\u2019s the problem with the ball, it\u2019s oblong. Hard to hold. It bounces funny. If they don\u2019t hold on to it, they just might not win<\/i>. It happens when you don\u2019t score more points. Scoring is the name of the game.<\/i><\/p>\n PBP: Michaels fades back to pass, it\u2019s very long. And Whitless catches it. A 70-yard score. What a great play<\/i>.<\/p>\n C: Without question. If Whitless can catch more of those, the Hens could win this thing<\/i>.<\/p>\n PBP: Michaels is over the center. It\u2019s a long count….<\/i><\/p>\n C: Look for the Hens to run or pass. Unless it\u2019s fourth and long. They might kick. Is it fourth and long?<\/i><\/p>\n PBP: It\u2019s first and 10<\/i>.<\/p>\n C: Without question<\/i>, it\u2019s a run or a pass.<\/i><\/p>\n You also might like Vivaldi, and I have nothing against the Rolling Stones or Shawn Colvin. Or Keith Jarrett, Gershwin, Hank Williams or Puff the Magic Dragon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If one is resolute, does one still need resolutions? Nevermind.
