Softball sportssports the rant » » Sporting events lag during dog days

By ryan colaianni kansan sports columnist [email protected]

Welcome to the dog days of the sporting year. College basketball is over. The NFL is over. We must now relegate ourselves to the start of the Major League Baseball season, but even that will get old after a few weeks. No longer will you be able to turn the television on and have a choice between a top 10 match-up in the Big East, a rivalry game in the Pac-10, and a college football bowl game. We will be stuck listening to chatter about the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry. Until college football begins in five months, decent sporting events will be held sporadically.
