What a week for Old People Discoveries: On Monday, the New York Times alerted the world to a curious new trend called "planking," and yesterday, NBC's Providence affiliate launched a special investigative report into the "potential dangers" of a "new game" called beer pong. More »

The scene gets intermittently ugly on Beaver Avenue, with the first casualty the WTAJ news van. It's fair to say most students on the streets are well-behaved, just coming outside to see what happens. There are also a lot of shitheads out there tonight. More »

It was just seven short years ago that the Dean asked the UConn community to email him at helpful_dean@uconn.edu with the identities of those tipping cars and starting fires in the great Storrs Conflagration of '04. The school had posted the photos stolen from Facebook, in an all-time shady move. It would be totally douchey if Huskies fans act like this tonight; totally awesome if it's Butler students, though.

I remember being on the floor of my room in South Quad, bawling my eyes out on the phone. I couldn't stop crying. Real, hard crying. The kind where your jaw unhinges and long, cathartic wails just come pouring right out of you. My mom was on the other end of the line, and for a very long time, she didn't say anything. She just listened to me cry, because sometimes being there to listen to someone's pain is the best (and only) thing you can do for him. More »

Three southern quarterbacks will sit in a room all dressed up being asked softball questions about how awesome it is to be a quarterback of a top five college football team. Then one of them will hold up a trophy of an old, old man stiff-arming an invisible linebacker. Follow the Heisman presentation after the jump, unless your last name Harrell. More »

Now that you're all hero-ed out from the SEC Championship, certainly there's enough quarterback love letters in your back pocket for Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel in the Big XII Championship in Kansas City. The Sooners are about 17-point faves, which means the live blog will be interesting by, oh, midway through the second quarter, in which case we'll go over every Top 10 quarterback and say why they should win the Heisman.

This interesting little piece of body comes from Rate My Tattoos (via FanIQ) and it's probably a pretty good representation of today's rivalry game. Ohio State is dominating Michigan to absolutely nobody's surprise behind a 59 yard Beanie Wells touchdown run and a 53 yard touchdown catch from Brian Hartline that has accounted for most of Terrell Pryor's passing yards. Pretty much everything about Michigan has been god fucking awful to this point. The only real question is whether they'll finish this game with or without positive offensive yardage. So far, it's looking like a toss-up. Elsewhere, Purdue is stomping their in-state rivals into the ground while West Virginia and Louisville are tied at 7 because Noel Devine stumbled on his way into the endzone on fourth down just before halftime.

The 24 hours of maddening college basketball is almost at an end, so let's Rosie Ruiz our way to the finish line and reap the celebratory final paces. Tradition University squares off against Heritage State in a game that Tyler Hansbrough is too proud (and hurt) to be a part of, but that doesn't mean ESPN doesn't want you to watch. Dan Shulman, Dick Vitale and Erin Andrews can be seen at 9 p.m. in their entirety in cynical sound bytes once you jump to the limit. More »

Now that everyone knows exactly what's going to happen with the rest of the college football season, this is when something inevitably blows up. Because if there's one thing we know about the convoluted BCS system, it's this: nothing is certain with three weekends to go. Alabama still has to get past Mississippi State and then beat a desperate Auburn team for the first time since 2001. Florida has to get past the Ole Ball Coach and then go on the road to play Florida State. Meanwhile Texas goes to Kansas and tries to avoid getting Mangino'd (the possibilities of exactly what this would entail are endless.) Without further ado, here are the 11 most intriguing games of the weekend. Do dive in. More »
