Not sure I feel more pathetic than National Letter of Intent Day…

I’m certainly not going to sit here and give you one more rundown of the recruiting class, there are guys who are far better than me at that.  Although I can’t wait to see Utah’s new 6-6 400 lb offensive lineman in action.  That is a whole lotta man.

But in a way its an odd day.  Here I am, ignoring my family checking the interwebs just to find out decisions made by 17 and 18 year olds.  Its a very strange and uniquely American day.  And a little pathetic.

It reminds me of a documentary for the BBC called Stephen Fry’s America.  Stephen Fry was Hugh Laurie’s (House on Fox) comedy partner.  In this documentary, Fry travels to all 50 states.  At one point he goes to the Iron Bowl and is shocked at all that goes into that game when it is as he puts it, simply a match between two local schools.

So NLI day is so very silly and its a little sad that I care so much.  And I’ll be right back here next year.
