When 2022 began, I made a New Year’s resolution to follow the adage, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all’’ about college football. . . Even though I knew that would probably mean the emphasis would be on not saying anything at all.
That was difficult because deep down, I much prefer the thinking of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy’s daughter, who said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say. . . come sit by me.’’
Here’s the thing: College football, like the rest of the world, is in a very troubled state from where I sit.
