Sports and social media
The first person that comes to mind when you think of sports and social media is Chad Ochocinco. Last week he said on his twitter account, "Just waking up after a late arrival,I've never seen a machine operate like that n person,to see video game numbers put up n person was WOW." He caught one reception for 14 yards while Tom Brady threw for 511 yards. Once again this week the Patriots offense looked amazing and Ochocinco did not play a down. The tight ends Aaron Hernandez and RobGronkowski. With Ochocinco tweeting what he did, he was basically saying he enjoyed just watching the game and not being a factor. Learn the playbook stop trying to tweet and be hip and play football like you used to. I think without social media in sports Ochocinco would not get as much flack as the media does. He is a talented player but needs to stop caring about technology and caring about the game.

College Football
I have only been living in America for 5 years now and absolutely love college football. I have lived in California and Oklahoma and the Oklahoma fans are more dedicated than anyone I have ever seen. BOOMER SOONER. My topic today consists of Texas A&M going to the Southern Eastern Conference(SEC). I was watching sports center earlier and heard that they have accepted A&M into the conference. What was wrong with the big 12 conference? The sad thing is that we say professional sports players are money hungry, when college is teaching us the same thing. The reasons for all the change in conferences is strictly money driven. With A&M leaving the Big 12 Oklahoma will probably be joining the soon to be pac 16. This will destroy the Big 12 conference and force other schools to go else where too. I would love for Texas and Oklahoma State University to follow Oklahoma because their is to much tradition for these schools to compete against each other. College football is a Multi Billion dollar industry and everyone is out to get a piece of the pie, even the players. We have seen this in the past, but are the players to blame or the schools? I believe the schools are. If I was Reggie Bush I would have taken everything USC was offering him. Who wouldn't? The Big 12 is still a great conference which is why i do not understand why A&M wanted out. Thats right they wanted a better TV deal for more money so the SEC was a better business proposition. If you look at the BCS standings right now three of the top 10 schools are from the big 12 conference. Plus Baylor beat down TCU on the weekend. The conference is still strong but money is power in this world and the society we live in greed and power will all ways come first. I am a fan that would love to see a playoff system for college football. That will never happen because too many schools and television programs will lose too much money because their will not be as many bowl games. As a fan you want to see the best beat the best. A playoff system creates that. I do not care that schools are moving to different conferences. What I do care about is seeing Oklahoma winning a national title and for sports to spot being so money driven.
