jones Top Ten - Final - 2011 Season
Ah, but to live life unapologetically, that’s the spirit, yes? To root out your cynicism and sow instead joy. To live life in the moment with nary a care for tomorrow. College football’s national championship comes tonight. Are we really going to ruin this grand occasion with our complaints and...
Cotton Bowl Open Thread
I don't care how many times Bill Snyder has beaten Texas -- I would cheer for Ohio State against Arkansas.
Handicapping Texas AM's SEC Success
Just about everything that needed to be said about Texas A&M’s departure for the SEC was laid out beautifully in two posts by Taylor T Room. Those posts remind me why I’m glad the Aggies are leaving and have optimism they’re en route to another pratfall. I am so happy the Aggies are going you’d...
jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...

Well. Now that all the air has been sucked out of the room, I’d point out that a few football games not involving Alabama were actually played. Want to hear about them? Great! Enter the Honey Badger. Here’s a holiday tip for Nick Saban. Coach, during the busy Christmas party season always...

If you had been with Lewis and Clark, Oregon never would have become a state. My wife the navigator does not generally put up with my smart-assery and this was no exception. If you had been making the turns for them, they would have ended up in New Orleans. The ubiquity of the GPS has eliminated...
jones Top Ten - Week 12 - 2011
Nonsense is my favorite multi-purpose catch-all word. My own aloha, I suppose. Smartly defined right out of the M-W.D., nonsense captures “foolish or meaningless words or actions.” But I think of it more broadly, as a general synonym for chaos and upheaval in my household. Children...
jones Top Ten - Week Eleven - 2011
Conference re-alignment has not completely dulled my enthusiasm for college football, just partially. Roughly about to the same extent the Transportation Safety Administration has dulled my enthusiasm for air travel. I maintain some appreciation for the theatre of the absurd, like the ten-team Big...
jones Top Ten - Week 8 - 2011
My mom didn’t cotton to bored children. If you ever said I’m bored, she would counter with a list of activities. If you didn’t chose one, then she would tell you that your boredom was your own fault. There is justice in this. But Saturday, she would have been hard-pressed. Well, you could watch...
jones Top Ten - Week Six - 2011
When Charlie asks an open-ended question, he already knows the answer. This is a fairly advanced conversational skill for a six-year-old. So when he asks yesterday, "Dad, what’s the most dangerous thing you can do?" I immediately turn it around on him. "I dunno, what do you think, C.K.?" ...
