Tis the Season to be Jolly, especially if you are a sports fan! As 2018 draws to a close, many sports are doing the same. The regular season for College Football is over and, let, the college bowl games begin!
Here are several sports updates for Dec. 2018
List of 2018-2019 College bowl games
There were several major upsets in the world of college football, almost every Monday or Tuesday we saw the rankings change. When the regular season finally ending, there was only three college still undefeated, and that was Alabama ranked 1st, Clemson, ranked 2nd and Notre Dame, who is ranked 3rd.
As the month of December proceeds, the list of what college plays what college and in what Bowl game will they play at will be announced, and usually that is done on the first Sunday following the playoff games. This year that will be December 2nd.
However, College football isn’t the only sport, coming to end of their season, the NFL regular season is also slowly drawing to an end as well. In a few short weeks, we will be tuning in to the NFL to watch several rounds of playoff games and finally ending with the ‘Super Bowl’.
The Super bowl game will be held Sunday February 3, 2019, and Super Bowl XLlll (53) and it will be played in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
There are a few sports that are not done yet, in fact, a couple of them are not even half way through their seasons.
Basketball is one of them, both college and professional. We all know about the College Basketball March Madness, right?
Sport fans barely have time to gather their thoughts and rest up after the Super Bowl when College basketball madness will be taking center stage in late February and end in March.

Let’s not forget professional basketball, and just as Thanksgiving is all about turkey, family and football, Christmas is all Ham, family, presents and NBA basketball.
This year the Golden State Warriors will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day.
Below is a chart of all the games that will be played Christmas Day for our enjoyment. You can check it to see if your favorite team is playing and at what time.
NBA 2018-19 Christmas Day (Tuesday, December 25) schedule
• 12 p.m. ET: Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks (ESPN)
• 3 p.m. ET: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets (ABC)
• 5:30 p.m. ET: Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics (ABC)
• 8 p.m. ET: Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors (ABC/ESPN)

Now let’s not forget hockey, a true winter sport, they are only into their third month of a 7 month regular season. The final games won’t even be played until April 06, 2019. At this very moment, the Anaheim Ducks are in fourth place in the Western- Pacific Division and the LA Kings are in last place. Let’s hope they can both turn their season around and take a run for first place and the playoffs
All in all, it has been a great year for sports, no matter what sport is your favorite.
There were some really great wins and some very unexpected losses this past year in our National pastime, baseball. The LA Dodgers making it to the World Series once again and unfortunately losing once again. The LA Angels not even making it to the playoffs once again.
Also making the heading in baseball this year was the retiring of the LA Angels’ manager, Mike Scioscia. The only manager of the LA Angels to get them to the World Series in 2002 and win.
We, here at sports for dummies, want to wish you and your family, Happy Holidays, Season Greetings, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
