Back to it

It’s back to the grind.
The college football bowls are almost over. Tim Tebow bid farewell to Florida with a 51-24 final game in the Sugar Bowl. Its no championship, but Tebow made the best of the situation with the drama of his final game and coach Urban Meyer’s health coming to light.
Teams are always concerned about the health of its athletes. However, sometimes the coaches need to be looked after as well. Yea, if the coach is in the hospital, the assistant can step up but that’s like second string QB taking over for the injured Tom Brady.
It just isn’t going to run the same.
Some coaches are in great health. Others need to join their players while doing sprints. Or lift an occasional weight.
Meyer’s outward appearance makes it seem like he is healthy. But the stress, commitment and pressure required to be a coach at a successful collegiate program will take its toll whether the condition was preexisting or not.
Coincidence that his health is coming to light when Tebow is done? Maybe, maybe not, but at least he is taking some steps to get better.
The Championship game is on Thursday. Alabama vs. Texas and both are unbeaten. Alabama seems to be the favorite.
I’m undecided on who I want to win.

In the hockey world, the world junior championship tournament’s trophy game is tonight and, surprise, its USA vs Canada.
Both teams went undefeated until they played each other in the final game of pool play. Canada won in a shootout, 5-4, which meant they had a bye in the first round.
The shoot out was neat. You know when it comes down to a shootout, both teams are so close in skill level.
Usa blasted through Finland 6-2 on Jan. 2 in the quarterfinals before beating Sweden on Sunday in the semis to make it to the championship game. The last time they were in that game was 2004, when they won the gold.
Ever since then, Canada has won the goal medal. They are going for their sixth straight trophy.
Canada is the favorite, as expected, because THE TOURNEY IS IN CANADA.
It will be a close game. That I know.
The tournament is a pretty cool thing, even though Usa and, more so, Canada seem to have a tight hold on the reins.
Jonathon Toews and Pat Kane were on opposing sides a couple years ago before joining forces in Chicago. Toews showed his skills in one of the more memorable match ups, that ended in shootout, another surprise, in 2007.
Jeremy Roenick held the record for most points in a WJC career for the Usa until Minnesota-born prodigy Jordan Schroeder surpassed that against Finland.
