Let's Make Purple Reign?

The first wave of marketing for the 2010 TCU Football season is underway. Its looks as is if “Let’s Make Purple Reign” will be the slogan of choice for this year.

Although the slogan isn’t totally original, I like it. I took pictures of this billboard off of 360 featuring Jeremy Kerley.

Notice something VERY important here to watch for…Jeremy Kerley is wearing the “Bloodlines” TCU Pro Combat uniform in this picture. I know originally the Pro Combat jerseys were only supposed to be for the 2009 season, but I don’t know why TCU would use a picture of Kerley in that uniform on a billboard if they didn’t plan on keeping it around for very much longer. Hopefully that is a little foreshadowing.

U.S. Soccer Names 23 Man World Cup Roster

The United States Men’s National Soccer team has named their 23 man roster for the 2010 World Cup Today.

ESPN.com

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa, England), Marcus Hahnemann (Wolverhampton, England), Tim Howard (Everton, England).

Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes, France), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover, Germany), Jay DeMerit (Watford, England), Clarence Goodson (IK Start, Norway), Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan, Italy), Jonathan Spector (West Ham, England).

Midfielders: DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers, Scotland), Michael Bradley (Borussia Moenchengladbach, Germany), Ricardo Clark (Eintracht Frankfurt, Germany), Clint Dempsey (Fulham, England), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Maurice Edu (Glasgow Rangers, Scotland), Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus, Denmark), Stuart Holden (Bolton, England), Jose Torres (Pachuca, Mexico).

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Hull, England), Edson Buddle (Los Angeles), Robbie Findley (Salt Lake), Herculez Gomez (Puebla, Mexico).

I don’t see a whole lot surprises here. I am kind of shocked that Brian Ching missed the cut though. Hopefully these guys can jell together and make a deep run in the World Cup. The team has two more friendlies before they open with England on June 12th.

Super Bowl in NY is Bad News

It was announced yesterday that New York (more like New Jersey) will host Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. This is a terrible decision by the NFL. Not only does this change the philosophy of holding the Super Bowl in a warm weather city, it also isn’t fair for the rest of the league.

First, the Super Bowl for the most part is held in warm weather cities. Why is there the sudden need to change that since New York has a new stadium? The weather plays way too much of a factor there. There is a HUGE difference between possible rain in Miami versus a blizzard in New York. What happens if four feet of snow fall Super Bowl weekend and the game can’t be played? Are you going to move the Super Bowl to Monday? Are you going to schedule it on Saturday in case you have to push it back to Sunday? There obviously has to be some sort of backup plan.

Now, I know the average temperature for New York at the beginning of February is around 25-40 degrees, but you also have to remember that the game will be played in the evening which will make it even colder. If the weather is fine, obviously it’s no issue and it will just be cold, but if something drastic happens and the game can’t be played, or the NFL’s biggest game ends 7-3 because everyone was slipping around on snow, people will be upset.

I know what you are thinking, “well Angry One, they play the NFC and AFC Championship games outdoors in bad weather.” Yes, you are right, but it’s not the same. The team that has home field in conference championship games have earned the right to play on their field, in weather conditions they are accustomed to. It is part of having home field advantage in the playoffs. The Super Bowl is the NFL’s biggest game and decides its champion, you don’t want weather conditions playing a factor in who wins.

Not only does it make no sense because of the weather factors, but if I own an NFL team in a cold weather city, I am extremely pissed off right now. If New York can host a Super Bowl then why shouldn’t Philadelphia, Denver, Washington, or Seattle? They all have nice stadiums and I am sure they would love to rake in some of that Super Bowl money for their team and city.

You can’t just bend and adjust the rules for New York. If this is the new standard that the league wants to set, then all NFL cities should have a fair shot at hosting the Super Bowl, not just Southern Cities and sometimes New Jersey…I mean New York.
