Gator Playmate Speaks Candidly: Big Ten Girls Just Ain't That Purty
This month's Playboy cover model is a Florida gal who calls herself "Kelly Carrington" (a pseudonym she used for the magazine; her real names is Kelly Hemberger) and she's a proud SEC lassie through and through. From her poofy blond hair, to that dimwitted twinkle, to the gratuitous Big 10 bashing. Carrington's shoot falls on the same month as Playboy's annual "Girls Of The Big Ten" issue, so it did seem a little odd that they went with the U of F public relations major for the cover. "Carrington" told the Gainesville Sun why she thinks that decision was made: More »

It's College Football Eve!
It’s College Football Eve and there’s a good chance some of the guys and girls you're working with are a bit giddy today. Jumpy in ways they aren’t ordinarily. It’s not the alcohol or drug withdrawal, it’s just because those of us who are college football fans can feel it in the pit of our stomachs—the most glorious, and shortest, sports season of the year is less than 24 hours away. We’ve only got 12 weeks out of 52 to watch our teams play, and by God, we’re going to pack as much life into those 12 weeks as is humanly possible. We’re going to drink, we’re going to tailgate, we’re going to scream louder than anyone ever thought was possible, and, inevitably, we’re going to want to cry. Yep, it’s Christmas Eve for football fans. Because, at long last, college football season is here again.

The SEC Done Got Paid Y'all
Last week we linked the news that CBS signed a 15 year deal to carry a single SEC game a week. Effectively CBS purchased the right to make a first pick each week to nationally televise just one game. For this right CBS paid $55 million a year. But, as is usually the case, ESPN has gone and upped the ante. Buying the rights to every other league game for—wait for this— $150 million a year for the next 15 years. Or $2.25 billion total. That's a tripling of the SEC's current television deal and will amount to $205 million in television rights each year. For comparison's sake, CBS pays $622.5 million to carry every AFC game. Most importantly for Southerners, however, the final nail has been driven in the coffin of JP/LF/Raycom. Praise to the Lord. More »

Elected Officials in Ohio Have Spent $400k on Buckeyes Tickets
What's more, they're allowed to buy the season tickets with campaign contributions. Wow. I know that many states allow elected officials to purchase seats to the games but I think most of them require them to use their own money. Or at least they should. The Chronicle of Higher Education has the details More »

Northwestern Steals Michigan Signs; Ball Boys to the Rescue
Way back in 1997, student managers brought it to Lloyd Carr's attention that those witty rascals at Northwestern were stealing signals from the Michigan offense. Well, okay, maybe not so much stealing signals as noticing what a single player was doing. Perhaps this explains the memorable Northwestern upsets of Michigan in 1995 and 1996. But, three years later, come 1997, Michigan was on to that trick. More »

Where Do NFL Starters Go To College?
And by “go to college” I mean commit felonies. Well, Mike Detellier has broken down NFL starters by their college conference. And while there is no big surprise, the SEC leads with 137 projected starters, there are some really surprising positional breakdowns. Coming in second after the SEC? Shockingly, BCS whipping boy, the ACC with 121. Followed by the Big Ten with 105, Big 12 with 72, Pac 10 with 70 and the mighty Big East clocked in with a robust 33. Yeah, but Ray Rice is awesome (and not starting)! More »

Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Big Ten
We must confess that we can't wait each year for the crunch of shoulder pads; for cleats churning up chunks of turf and red-faced coaches screaming from the sidelines. But enough about lacrosse. College football season is upon us, and to celebrate, we're going to get back into tiny tidbit mode and present four things you didn't know about each major conference. If you have a little-known fact about your team or conference, strap it to a freshman, point him in our direction and whack him on the ass. Or, mail to tips@deadspin.com. Today: The Big Ten. More »
