SWMBO and I watched a couple of NCAA Football games last night; the last part of Texas-Oklahoma, followed by Tennessee- Georgia. We enjoyed both games; our enjoyment was no doubt enhanced by both our chosen teams’ winding up victorious.

I observed that the NCAA has picked up one of the more disgusting customs of the NFL, that being the instant replay rule. The rule is seemingly invoked at random in NCAA, leading to umpteem replays of the play in question, and talking heads explaining in detail the fine points of the rule book as they apply to the situation.

Why, oh, why, is our Congress, Executive Branch, and governance in general, becoming more gamelike, while simultaneously our games require explanation by Philadelphia lawyers to make sure all calls are 100% correct?

What a country.
