The silly season is about to begin in college football. There are 40 bowl games on tap. Three of the teams are 5-7, ten are 6-6. My alma mater, Western Michigan, finished 7-5, two of the losses to Ohio St. and Michigan St., who finished 5th and 4th respectively in the final coaches poll of 2015. WMU is playing in the Popeye's Bahamas Bowl vs. Middle Tennessee, also 7-5, on Christmas Eve. Have fun, Broncos... The consensus among writers seems to be satisfaction with this year's national championship four-team playoff. I disagree. Both Ohio St., 11-1, and Iowa, 12-1, are as deserving as Michigan St., 12-1 and Oklahoma, 11-1. The most frustrated team must be Notre Dame, 10-2, whose two losses came in the final seconds. An eight-team field would be infinitely better, fairer. All the other divisions of college football have at least eight-team playoffs. Then again, the top tier is really semi-pro. Many of the so-called student athletes won't come close to graduating. Some belong in prison.
The weather was once again spectacular. The sun on my neck seem to loosen it, relieve the pain I've been feeling in it the past two days. It looked like all sales would be of Russian books this day, but a gentleman came along as I was packing up and overpaid for four works of non-fiction. My thanks to all the buyers. Mr Conspiracy brightened the session with an appearance. He believes Hillary will "wipe the floor" with Trump in debate. I did not disagree, as I have no idea what would happen, although Hillary has often prove inept, mediocre at best in such proceedings. There is one thing of which I'm sure, the Donald will not hesitate to point out the lies and corruption with which she's been involved. At last count, 999 of her emails violated national security dictates. Mr. Conspiracy departed saying: "Even Bernie Sanders isn't liberal enough for me." I laughed out loud.
