Cal.E's Korner










Everywhere the sun is shining. All around the world it's shining. But cold winds blow across your mind. Confusion--it's such a terrible shame. Confusion--you don't know what you're sayin'. You've lost your love and you just can't carry on. You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there darlin'. You're always out there runnin'. And I see that lost look in your eyes. Confusion, I don't know what I should do. Confusion, I leave it all up to you. You've lost your love and you just can't carry on. You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander. And as you stand there under. The starry sky, you feel sad inside. Confusion, you know it's drivin' me wild. Confusion, it comes as no big surprise. You've lost your love and you just can't carry on. You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

C.: Well, it’s football season. I’m going to use my newfound math skills to make a lot of money. Hmm… There are fourteen teams in the Big Ten, and sixteen in the Big Twelve, that was formerly the Big Eight. There are currently twelve teams in the Pacific Twelve, but that’s soon to be four teams, because two teams are going to join the Big Ten, and two others are going to join the ACC. That stands for Atlantic Coast Conference, which is on the opposite coast from the teams that are joining that conference. Okay, maybe I can go on to the conferences that don’t have numbers.


The Southeastern Conference is split into two divisions, for now. The seven teams in the Western Conference make sense, but Missouri is in the Eastern Division of this conference. It’s the only team in the Eastern Division in the Central Time Zone. Also, after next season, there won’t be any division of this conference, since the University of Oklahoma and Texas are joining this conference in 2025. According to my map, these two universities are in the southwestern United States. This is too confusing, so I think I’ll look at the NFL games.


Let’s see, Indianapolis is leading the AFC South. According to my may, Indianapolis is in Indiana, which is north of the Mason-Dixon Line. That would make it in the northern one-half of the United States. Also, how do they decide who’s in the NFC and the AFC? It started out being the original NFL teams were in the NFC, and the American Football Conference was made up of the teams of the former American Football Conference, except the Baltimore Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe that will give me a clue as to the directions assigned to these teams. Both conferences span the expanse of the United States.


Let’s see, Pittsburgh is in the AFC North, so that makes sense, but the new expansion Baltimore team, The Ravens, are also in the AFC North. That sort of makes sense, but, isn’t Indianapolis further north than Baltimore? And, if the NFL really wanted parity, wouldn’t it have put a new team, the Baltimore Ravens, in the AFC South, with two other new teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans. The Jaguars were put in a city that had never had a professional team before, but the Texans are in Houston, where the old Oilers were. Now, the Oilers are called the Titans, and they’re based in Nashville, Tennessee. And, the Titans were originally based in New York, but are now called the New York Jets, although the play their home games in New Jersey, along with New York City’s other professional football team, the New York Giants. Hmm, if these two teams play each other at their home stadium, which team has the advantage? Even though one team must be designated as the home team, does that really create a three=point advantage for the home team, like the odds makers claim belongs to the home team in every NFL game?


I guess d.c. is right, it’s best not to bet on anything I don’t fully understand and cannot control. It’s back to the drawing board to find a new hobby. So much for all my research.
