With the first week of college football in the books, the impending start to the NFL season and baseball pennant races heating up the brisk fall evenings, there will soon be legions of females asking the same question: "Why do guys love sports so much?"
On Sept. 4, college football fans everywhere will say goodbye to a stalwart legend whose time has come. Rumors about his retirement had been swirling since the beginning of last season and yesterday it was confirmed. After a 16-year career, it was time to hang 'em up. Saturday night fans at the University of Texas will bid farewell to a beacon of stability who began his career in 1988, during the trying David McWilliams era. He stood by the program's side during the tumultuous years of coach John Mackovic and reveled in the program's resurrection under current coach Mack Brown.
IU basketball is like a newly single guy; we just got out of a situation in which we really liked the girl, but it just wasn't meant to be.
It's always hard when you see one of your heroes struggle in life. The sight of someone you once thought invincible struggling with a common problem is almost too much to bear sometimes. A hero of mine passed away this week. His tragic tale is a reminder that, though some people have exceptional gifts, they are still human.
Honestly, there's nothing more to say about the Hoosiers' season. I've analyzed all their shortcomings and successes repeatedly in my columns and after their 71-68 road loss to Penn State, I'm really over it. I've become irritable to strangers, I snap at my friends, I can't concentrate on my work and I'm pretty sure I have an ulcer. So I've decided to stop dodging questions about my situation and come clean. I do not feel I can do my job effectively for the remainder of the season. I think the Hoosier fans out there deserve one of their own to provide analysis on this team. I mean, I'm from San Diego, what could I possibly know about Indiana basketball? Clearly the act that I've been positive lately, while providing in-depth analysis of the team and imploring fans to understand that the season doesn't end in February, has met with resistance from the Hoosier faithful.
Despite the circumstances and the rainy, overcast weather Thursday afternoon, the mood in the press room at Assembly Hall was anything but gloomy. That is, until the players had their turn to speak.
While watching the World Cup last week at a sports bar in town, one of those "Joga Bonita" Nike commercials blared on the oversized flat screen in front of me. As I watched Brazil's Ronaldinho expertly knife his way through a group of helpless defenders I overheard a guy ask his buddies how anyone could consider soccer beautiful. He argued it was too boring and seemed pointless. "They kick a ball around, what's beautiful about that?" As I suppressed the urge to haul off and deck the jackass -- had his collar been popped there would have been no restraining me -- I pondered just how ignorant Americans are when it comes to the real football. On the whole, we simply don't get what it means to the rest of the world and probably never will. I'm here to try and bridge the gap and tell you why I love soccer and how I think it can change the world.
