I decided to have a page of takes- things people say that I have an opinion on or just my wild independent opinions. These may end up in articles or this can be a fun place for you to come to know what I am thinking about.
I started this blog to have a place to document these sorts of things and this may become my backlog list of things to write about

Disclaimer- I also have non-sports takes. I put these last because I don't want these to offend anyone nor distract you from my sports opinions. For those that know me, it is not surprising that I have strong opinions beyond sports. In many ways I am an opinion machine at age 55.

Larry--I am excited that you started this blog--you are a very bright guy and I always enjoy your insights. I might be willing to give Marwin a longer look--let him get some time in September and give the guys a rest and in case of injury a much better option than Robel. I certainly agree that the Big 12 is done--only chance is to act quickly and pick up 4 teams such as Houston, SMU, Cin, Memphis or Louisville. If they wait other conferences will invite OSU, TT, Baylor, TCU, KU or Iowa State and the first domino to fall ends the conference. My prediction is TT, OSU, Baylor and TCU to Pac 12, WV to ACC, Iowa State…
