What will you miss about 2020?
Yes, today your social media feeds and text groups will be full of ‘f–k 2020, so glad this year is over’ takes from people who can’t possibly drag themselves away from a single day of negativity. Yeah bro, it’s no secret that it was a wild time to be alive. How about we flip the script here and ask: “What will you miss about 2020?”
I was sitting with the family at the dinner table last night and started thinking about how many times this year we’ve sat down together for a meal. Throw in nights where I’m getting fresh air at a golf course with buddies, and we’re probably looking at five times a week. With children who’ll soon be loaded with activities, we may never spend the amount of time together at a dinner table the rest of our lives. It’s been a huge positive. No phones. No TV. For the most part, no fighting between the boys.
Speaking of golf, there was a special bond amongst the golfing community this year. I participated in roughly six or seven outings and played more golf than I had over a 12 month period in my life. The mood at the course was so refreshing. I played just before Thanksgiving and had one of the most enjoyable days of my year, just enjoying being out, drinking seltzers for the hell of it and talking about life. Golf in 2020 will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Hopefully, there’s something positive that sticks out for you as 2020 comes to an end. Onward we go.
• It’s not the greatest New Year’s Eve college football schedule of your life, but it’s football and at one point today you’ll need two TVs: Tulsa-Mississippi St. at Noon on ESPN; Ball State-San Jose St. at 2 on CBS; West Virginia-Army at 4 on ESPN. Enjoy it.
• This evening, Ryan Seacrest will broadcast live from an empty Times Square. That should get the party juices flowing. Joe Biden is supposed to join the show at some point, in case you haven’t had enough politics in your life in 2020. Should be quite a party.
• In case you haven’t been paying attention, Friday’s MegaMillions jackpot will be $401 million. Get your 2021 off to a hot start by hitting that and retiring early.

I’ll buy OU as a real player in the modern game when they actually win a playoff game. They’re fantastic beating up on teams that don’t want to be there but when they play in games that count they still have a zero in the win column. After last night, I’m sure they’ll be in the preseason top 5 next year, so they will likely get another shot at finally trying to get a real W in the post-season.
What he said……..
As a fan of another Big 12 school (Texas), I would love to celebrate this destruction of an SEC school, but I can’t. That was a JV Florida team that seemed disinterested, especially once they got way behind.
Speaking of football TV schedules; today ain’t that great, but the next three days will be:
1/1 – CFP doubleheader where Notre Dame gets humiliated
1/2 – Bowl games with big-time programs
1/3 – Final NFL Sunday with a lot of meaningful games.
I got my popcorn ready!
Kind of like Texas’ “Were Baaaack” after beating Georgia a little while ago? Also, it’s always a lose lose experience for any team playing a good SEC opponent not in the playoff. Either the SEC school lost because they were supposed to be in the playoffs and just barely missed out or they got waxed and were “uninterested”. Now we hear about JV teams and opt outs. Hilarious. Like Florida was the only school with transfers and opt outs. Beware the media/confrence complex. Both $EC and Texas have it.
lol, Oklahoma fans can’t really be stupid enough to think this win means enough to earn them any kind of clout or right to mock anybody…right? Right?
Can we please get Taylor Cusack to change her facial foundation makeup to better approximate her actual skin color?
Fla didn’t want to be there, it was the JV team…blah, blah , blah. It was an ass kicking. The gators quit once they got down. With the way our D has been playing, I’m guessing OU wins anyway if the teams were at full strength.
That being said, OU does have a reputation for losing in the CFP and we earned it for sure.
Wish we had a defense like this for the last 3 years. Hopefully next year we will be back in the top 4
Have a great year every one.
