If you are anything like me, you appreciate the history of this beautiful game as much as the game itself. It is for this reason that I consider people like Beano Cook one of my “college football idols.”
When Beano talks I usually take the time to stop and listen. I don’t always agree with all of his opinions but his historical knowledge is amazing. Further, Beano is pretty old-fashioned. He doesn’t use email, and up until recently, he had no use for a computer. However, a little over a year ago he started blogging and posting his opinions online (actually, if I had to guess, I would bet he simply types them up and someone else posts them for him).
His blog posts are not very frequent and they are not always about football. However, this month his post was about the new playoff format that has been developed for college football.
I highly suggest giving it a read. Enjoy!

I know a lot of people will miss Beano, who recently died. I just saw he was a rep for Heisman voting:http://www.heisman.com/history/balloting.php
Will be interesting to see who replaces him
Good point. I didn’t even think about this. It will be interesting to see what happens.
