So my name is Phillip Parr and I pretty much think about sports all day, everyday. I played football all the way up till college, I watch as many different sporting events as possible and I do whatever I can to keep myself as informed as possible when it comes to sports. But like most of us who follow sports in any sort of capacity, or anything else for that matter, I, you, me, us have an opinion. Of course most of the time our opinions are either shared by "experts" or shot down by those same people we try and follow and maybe when we get the nerve, email and throw in our two cents. Well this blog is my two cents on the things that are floating around in my head about everything that is sports. Now, I will try my hardest not to step into the realm of common place and talk about things everyone in there right minds is talking about, but I can't make promises. What I will be talking about are those things that are outside of the norm, or at least what I think is outside the norm. Some blogs will be filled with tons of fact filled knowledge and others will just be me spilling stuff I think is relevant hoping it make sense. Of course comments are always welcome no matter what. Love it, hate it, in the middle, have something to say about me (tastefully), or if you have a suggestion of what I should write its all welcomed and of course encouraged.

The weekend that was....(Part 2)

Here I am back again...did promise you more. My thoughts on the field of 24 and ranking them 24-1 from least likely to win to most likely to celebrate in Frisco, TX Playoff Selection Thoughts Look, I know, with me writing this I'm playing a "Monday Morning QB" deal but the committee of 10 had one hell of a time picking 24 teams to get in the playoffs. Not everyone will be happy but hey, that's part of the job So getting the nice nice out of the way...the fact that Nicholls, New Hampshire, and S. Dakota made the playoffs is just mind blogging. All three lost their last game, Nicholls lost on the road to SE Louisiana and New Hampshire got shutout by 4-7 Albany. But even while those are bad, the worst entry was S. Dakota...ending a season at 1-4 shouldn't give you a playoff team. But the weirdest twist, all three have a chance at deep runs and two host a playoff game The team with the loudest beef should be Austin Peay. Good story aside, to go 7-1 versus FC...

So that's it...2017 season is over. The dynasty continues as North Dakota St won its 6th national championship in 7 years, more on those guys later. The playoffs as a whole were, to quote an old coach "not too stinky" While we got the end matchup everyone hoped for, getting there left a lot to be desired. That's not to say we got a good meal, but if we are being nit-picky about things the playoffs are the equivalent of some dishes not having and seasoning and others have a bit too much. The Bracket This one is the one big gripe from me and almost everyone in the land of FCS. The playoffs this year  were this weird hybrid of seeding with regional requirements that almost guarantees we get conference rematches, an unbalanced bracket, a some team really gets the shaft. This isn't some new problem unfortunately, ever since the playoffs were expanded first to 20 and now to 24 teams, we have seen a bracket and matchups that too often look slanted. In James Madi...

Week 11

Well...I think this is the season of chaos or at least confusion cause things once again got turned on its head this week. Things were thought to have finally got to a point where we knew where everyone stood then a couple conferences had some bad weekend (more on that in a sec). It is kinda cool that all this is going down because it makes for a more interesting conversation of who may or may not get into the playoffs this year. And it also opens the door for a few teams that wouldn't normally get some consideration, more than a fair shot if they take care of business. Now the argument can be made that while it is nice to see the middle nice and tight it won't matter come the end of the day cause the top tier of the FCS is now miles away from the pack. And to an extent, they would be right, but its still fun to see the race to the playoffs. One more week left...it will definitely be fun. Oh boy was it a bad week It was a bad week for a few teams and conferences but the...
