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.
Let me just start off by saying the SWAC might be the best of the abbreviated conferences when you say it. It just comes off as something cool and makes you puff out your chest a little when you say it. Ok enough being weird...we start off with a conference who, if your looking strictly at attendance numbers you would think it was a great conference, but alas the reality is that SWAC is at the bottom of the totem pole and for good reason. And it sucks that's its at this level because of all the history, tradition, the alumni but the product that is produced year after year is just bad. Placement Reasoning What you will see with a lot of the lower ranked conferences is that outside of the conference, most of the teams can't hang with the others. The SWAC is the guiltiest of the lot. Outside of Grambling, the SWAC doesn't have a lot in terms of depth and teams who can go out of conference and take down even a small fry from say the Southland or NEC. They were one of three...
