Are You Ready for Some Football?

Are You Ready for Some Football?

The college football Bowl Championship Series begins today when Fresno State faces Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl, the first of 34 games between now and the first week of January.

The timing couldn’t be better for many golfers, at least on the East Coast where a major snow storm has made weather conditions more conducive for channel surfing or sledding than chipping and putting. Still, while the cold and wet keeps many golfers from playing this time of year, it doesn’t keep most of us from thinking about golf and working on our game.

Even busy college football coaches like to squeeze in some golf when they can. Take University of Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin, for example. In his first season at the school, Kiffin led the Volunteers to an appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. But he’s got plenty of time to relax before the game on New Year’s Eve.

He could probably get in a little golf. We think he’s a fan. Why else would you need soft spikes at football practice? Did you come straight from the golf course? Hitting the driving range after the game?

See for yourself. Dude, are those golf spikes or high-performance launching pads? C’mon, man!
