College Football Summary

So you have a life and you haven’t been paying attention to college football.

Here’s a brief run down put into metaphors you people can understand…

Alabama – The $40,000 (reported price) calf that went through every big name trader known to man before ending up in the hands of the son of yet another.  He'll be in advertisements for the breeder, the owner of the sire, three of the traders, and four feed supplement companies next spring.  He’s got a pro working every inch of his hair and it shows.  Unbeatable calf if shown properly.

K-State – That really sound calf that doesn’t blow you over with anything about him.  He’s not overly powerful but he’s got enough.  He’s not extremely eye appealing but he’s not ugly.  He’s as balanced as you can make a calf.  There’s nothing at all wrong with him and he simply cannot be overlooked because of how complete and sound he is.  You just don’t know if there’s anything that’s great enough for him to make it to the champion drive.

Oregon – Powerful calf that absolutely blows you away with his top and how far he carries his power into his lower quarter.  Unfortunately he’s also really tight gutted and you just don’t know how well he’ll feed out on the way to his final show or how he'll compete with the body depth of that Alabama steer.

Notre Dame – You don’t even have to look at the calf to know what he looks like.  You’ve already been told everything about him by his owners who paid a crap ton of money for him and think they’re just going to walk in and win it all because they are who they are.  Everyone in the barn is gossiping about how the calf stole two prospect shows earlier in the year.

Louisville – That steer that’s been killing it over there where, well, let’s be honest, they don’t really have any quality steers over there.  This is the first time they've made it out to a show in this area and their jaws are dropping at the quality of the other calves in the barn.

Florida - Very solid steer but the dad of the kid showing this calf is mean and he's crazy.  He yells at his kid in such a harsh tone that it makes the rest of the parents in the barn feel extremely uncomfortable.

Texas A&M – A calf that was two months younger than the rest of the set last spring and sold for $1,000.  People laughed at the owners when they bought him, openly asked them what they were thinking, and told them they’d be in for a long hard year.  The calf bloomed and everybody tries to figure out what they missed.

OSU – His owners had a bad ass last year but he went off feed right before the majors.  This one is a good calf that’s done fairly well this year but they’re not happy because he hasn’t lived up to the standard of last year’s steer.

Texas Tech – He’s a decent enough calf but his owners are extremely confused as to whether they should be happy with him or not.  They aren’t sure if they’re happy with him or if they’re just waiting until they can hire A&M’s fitter in a year or two.
