It’s the best time of the year: the college football bowl season is here.

You didn’t think I’d say because it’s Christmas did you? No, this is the time where a person can escape from what I like to call “F.F.T.,” or forced family time.

So, get ready to grab your remote, something to drink, a ham sandwich with that leftover holiday ham and find your spot on the couch.

ENTERPRISE — Mac-Hi took home the Enterprise kickoff Classic team title Saturday.

The Pioneers finished with 263 points.

Can we please take the letter “C” out of BCS? Because that’s basically what postseason NCAA Division 1 college football is anymore.

As long as this computerized formula is around picking the best football teams at the end of the season there will be problems.

Now, I know I already wrote one column this season on the BCS, but there are so many flaws with the system I could write something on it every week.

Well, I guess the story begins with me in Albany for Thanksgiving and leaving Friday afternoon for Hillsboro for the 1A state championships.

I’d just like to say how thankful I am that I live in such a great area. I hate traffic. I hope to never return to the Portland area.

Some of you may have already heard the story of Florida State’s Myron Rolle, but some have not.

It’s an impressive enough story to tell twice and might be new to some folks.

Not many student-athletes seeking a transfer would jump to a team that finished 1-10 the season before.

However, C.J. Taylor did.

Taylor served as a running back for the EOU football team this season.

After the season finale, Taylor was all smiles.

Believe it or not there are people out there who are unaware that I am 25 percent psychic. My grandmother was a fortune teller.

This week I’ve dusted off her crystal ball and will let out some secrets of what’s to come. Let’s begin with college football. Every year about this time, college football analysts have nothing to talk about at the halfway point of the season.

So, what they do is analyze the Bowl Championship Series. And, by analyze I mean completely rip apart.

Every once in a while we as reporters get a special glimpse of the subjects we write about on a weekly basis.

Sunday night I traveled to Imbler to partake in one of those moments.

If you are a basketball fan and you live in the area, then you probably should be an Eastern Oregon University fan.

The Mountaineer women’s team has been very successful in recent years. They have won five conference titles in the last six seasons.

The men’s team has seen a complete transformation. Flash back four years ago: EOU men’s basketball finished the season 4-22.
