Happy 2011. We can only imagine, what public figures will contribute to our amusement in the next twelve months? Seriously, on New Year’s Eve 2009-10, could anyone have imagined just how much fun we would have with Tiger Woods, Brett Favre and Lebron James? And no one had even HEARD of Christine O’Donnell.

Earlier this week, Michigan QB Tate Forcier gave an interview to the Detroit Free Press, saying “I’ve never been the greatest student.” But, he added “you really have to try to flunk out here. All you have to do is go to class, it’s not that hard.” This morning Forcier was declared academically ineligible.

Tennessee lost to North Carolina, Georgia lost to the University of Central Florida, and South Carolina is losing 13-3 at halftime to Florida State after four turnovers. Maybe we should rename the SEC the SOC – Southern Overrated Conference?

Or possibly the “Swollen Egos Conference?”

Georgia’s bulldog mascot UGA VIII missed the trip to the Liberty Bowl with a “gastro-intestinal” decision. Or maybe he was just sick at the thought of watching the now 6-7 Bulldogs play ANOTHER lousy game. (They lost to UCF 10-6)

And congrats again to the Stanford women for ending UConn’s 90 game basketball winning streak. Wonder if President Obama called coach Tara Vanderveer to congratulate her.  And wonder if Tara asked if Obama’s lovely, smart, and at least 5’9″ 12 year old daughter might be interested in a casual visit to Palo Alto?

The above is Malia in November standing next to her 6’2″” dad.

And this thought, not originally mine but I don’t remember where I heard it. The ultimate New Year’s Eve toast….may your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.

Finally a thought for the “Hope Springs Eternal” crowd.  So, the Saints were a great story, but a year ago at this time they did have one of the best records in the NFL.   How many people on New Year’s Eve 2010 said, “okay, this is it, this is the year the San Francisco Giants win it all?
