2012 is good so far...

Alabama 21, Louisiana State 0. When it comes to college football, I'm less of a Kirkian. Russell Kirk detested all corruptions in the universities, and as a young professor at Michigan State he had watched the football tail wag the dog in the 1950s. As for me, college football will always have a romance to it, despite the fact that it turns universities upside down. It you think that's stupid, think of all those people finding a quasi-religious experience at a political convention next summer. My fever generally lasts a few hours, and I know the world seldom changes over any sporting event- except for the daily fact that young people who are striving in athletic endeavors have less time to be anarchists.
