Maybe The Alamo Bowl Should be Renamed The Anger Management Bowl
Where to start with this one....this years Alamo Bowl (aka the Anger Management Bowl) pits Michigan State against Texas Tech. Several State players were suspended from the game because of a fight at a frat house on campus.
Then Texas Tech fired head coach Mike Leach because he allegedly hit one of his players so hard that he suffered a concussion and, because that apparently wasn't quite enough to convey his anger, locked the player in an electrical closet. Leach makes Woody Hayes and Bobby Knight look like pacifists instead of anger management candidates.
Football is a violent game in which both players and coaches are under an enormous amount of pressure. One miscue could mean the game or even the entire season. The majority of college players never graduate and are often skilled at nothing but football, leaving them unprepared for life. One recent study revealed that the majority of pro players are either bankrupt, addicted to drugs, divorced or some combination of the three within 3 years of leaving the game.
Although its not likely to happen anytime in the near future, players should be taught anger management and other life skills preferably beginning in college. Universities and pro teams make millions of these guys, the least they can do help give them the best advantage possible to make it in the world the rest of us live in.
