BCS

Why does College Football feel the need to embark so much stress on its fans? 

As a lifelong UT football fan, I am happy Texas moved up to No. 2 in the BCS rankings. But for the past few weeks I have been losing to much sleep and hair due to worrying whether or not my Horns are going to make it into the championship game. 

Who in the world thought of the BCS? 

Was he trying to be cool and different making Division I College Football the only major team sport without a playoff system. Hell, even Division II and III college football has a playoff system. I mean isn't the whole purpose to find a national champion. But the BCS often has split champions. Something that never happens in pro and other college sports. 

Why does College Football alienate its primary consumers (the fans)?

Ever since I can remember fans have been begging for a playoff system. The BCS only seems concerned with its sponsors and not with its fans. But luckily for College Football, their sport is football meaning they shouldn't worry to much about losing viewership. But why must they disappoint so many fans when their team unfairly doesn't make the championship game?

Christmas on Mars

The science fiction film, Christmas on Mars, directed by the Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne was released on DVD November 11th. As a Flaming Lips fan myself, I am interested in the film, but honestly the trailer looks awful.

Take a look for yourself.
