FindSportsNow's Guide on How to Improve College Football
FindSportsNow's Guide on How to Improve College Football
With the 2008 college football season well underway, FindSportsNow would like to point out nine things we'd like to see removed from the game.

1. The State of Alabama's Mascot Issues
Alabama

Crimson Tide. Tiger. Elephant. War Eagle. PICK ONE!

2. Jaws Theme
Jaws

We've always questioned the logic in the University of Florida playing the Jaws theme at home games. They're the Gators right? Sure there probably isn't a huge catalog of gator attack songs, but still. And Jaws? When was the last time anyone referenced Jaws? Do they even have that ride at Universal Studios anymore? We'll just assume cultural relevance isn't too important in Gainesville.

3. "THE" Ohio State University
Ohio State

So much emphasis on such a small word. Is this a way of asserting dominance over the powerhouse that is Ohio University? The mighty Bobcats? We hope not. Bobcats weigh like 50 pounds, and they have those cute ears. But, we suppose anything is more intimidating than a Buckeye.

4. Notre Dame's Helmet Painting
Notre Dame Helmet

We don't claim to be experts in the fields of helmets or painting, but we do know that if you have to paint your helmet every single week, you're probably doing something wrong. OK, the helmet-painting scene in Rudy was definitely touching. But that was a movie. A Sean Astin movie. All Sean Astin movies are touching. Ever seen Encino Man? Touching as hell. But we suppose that was more a Brendan Fraser movie. Or even a Pauly Shore movie.

5. Jim Tressel's Vest

If not for Joe Paterno's 1950's gym teacher uniform, Tressel would be the worst dressed coach in Division 1. We're suggesting a switch to a cardigan. Maybe even a track jacket.

6. Hyping Madison, WI
Madison

We get it. It's quaint. It's the best college town ever!! It's still Wisconsin though. All the badgers in the world can't change that. It's still cheese-eating, Brett Favre-loving Wisconsin.

7. Lou Holtz

Watching Lou Holtz comment on college football is like watching a wrinkly, Southern midget with a speech impediment get excited about a piece of candy. FindSportsNow once got carsick watching him one morning. Carsick. We swear.

8. Calling the Rose Bowl the "Grandaddy."

FindSportsNow urges anyone who refers to their grandfather as "grandaddy," to email us at youreridiculous@findsportsnow.com.

9. Duke University
Duke

Since 2007, the FindSportsNow Awesomes have won more college football games than the Blue Devils. Seriously. We had a good year, last year. A stingy, stingy defense.
