So today is Columbus Day which for many people simple means a day off from work or school. It’s a shame the significance of the holiday is lost on many as it’s truly very special for a certain segment of the population and no I don’t mean Italian-Americans, some of whom who observe the day as a celebration of their heritage. Today is especially important to those with a poor sense of direction as it gives them hope because after all we are celebrating an explorer who was trying to find a new naval route to India but instead found the American continent.
For Rutgers to have a winning football season they would have to win their final six games which is highly unlikely. Following a loss at Cincinnati Saturday the Scarlet Knights are 1-5 and much of the progress achieved the last three seasons by Coach Greg Schiano has all but been forgotten. The big red “R” looks very small right now.
I guess some Jets fans are buying into the theory that when their team wears those old throwback uniforms (above) they win football games so why stop now. The answer is because the uniforms are hideously ugly and the wins are because the Jets might be better then the lousy teams they’ve played.
We brought a care package of stuff to my son’s Jersey City apartment yesterday and because it was such a nice day ended up taking the PATH into New York City. The economy may be suffering but tourism did not seem to be with the city jammed with visitors, many taking advantage of a three-day weekend and it was a banner day for double-decker tour busses. I’m always amazed when walking around Times Square the number of different languages you will hear spoken.
The countdown is on for Friday night’s football game between Toms River North and Southern in Manahawkin. This one has all kinds of championship implications and we will broadcast it on the Shore Sports Network.
