It was nice to spend a day thinking more about college football than American politics. Texas A&M just played its regular season finale against Tennessee and won 34-13. That makes the team's record 8-1, and A&M is ranked 5th in the nation in the CFP standings.
The best way to summarize this season is that Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, and Tennessee weren't as good this year as I expected they would be, and A&M was much, much better than I thought they'd be after the first two games (squeaker against Vanderbilt, blowout loss to Alabama). One game, against Ole Miss, was cancelled and possibly cost A&M another win at Kyle Field.
The best thing about the season is that A&M finally looks like a team that could be a serious contender in the SEC West. The offensive line and the defense are real assets rather than liabilities. The offense is balanced, with the tight end being a contributing factor and running backs that can be relied upon to keep the chains moving. Finally, Kellen Mond had a very good senior year, and performed with a level of skill every A&M fan wanted to see in years 1-3, but didn't.
In the political realm, Cheez Doodle will apparently leave the White House the same way he entered it: as an obvious Russian asset, owned by and indebted to Vladimir Putin.
When Fox starts cracking down on someone like Lou Dobbs, you know the shit's hit the fan. There's no excuse for allowing snot bubbles like him to be on TV more than five minutes per year.
