Heisman Trophy Presentation Live Blog
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.

Big XII Championship Live Blog: #2 Oklahoma Vs. #20 Missouri
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. Jumping significantly reduces your chance of not avoiding cancer. More »

MAC Championship Live Blog: #12 Ball State Cardinals Vs. Buffalo Bulls
This is pretty much the only way Ford Field gets to host a championship football game. The Chirpin' Birds of Ball State will try to stay undefeated — again — against the blue-colored Bulls of the University At Buffalo. The winner gets to move on to play an important bowl game ... in the SAME FOOTBALL STADIUM! Against a really mediocre Big Ten team! America's automakers are petitioning Congress for you to follow along after the jump.

University Perfumes Smell Like Late-Teen School Spirit
We all know how your pheromones work. You get one whiff of Michael Jordan cologne or Derek Jeter's jock strap and you're hooked. You'll sleep with anyone doused in pure pre-packaged pro athlete. But what about those of you that root for college sports? How will you know what to drunkenly pursue into the men's bathroom? Thankfully, marketing has saved the day and you now have the ability to purchase perfume that smells just like your old school. More »

Tuesday Night Live Blog: Kentucky Wildcats vs. #1 UNC Tar Heels
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.

College Football Preview: Avoiding Landmines Edition
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 »

What the world needs now, is jump, sweet jump.

College Football Preview: The Jort-Out Is Coming

LSU's Jarrett Lee Is A Golden...Beer Pong Expert
LSU fans who remember the limp-wristed second quarter toss against Auburn that led to the easiest interception return for a touchdown of the 2008 season will recognize the hand-eye coordination in the above photo of Lee engaging in extracurricular collegiate activities. This photo (courtesy The Big Lead) is clearly taken early on in the beer pong match before Lee develops the sinister death toss (witness the touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell) that will lead LSU to victory.

College Football Roundup: Charlie Weis Is Broken
After a week of piddling interest, college football returned with a vengeance. Before I get rolling with 11 observations on the weekend that was, let me take this opportunity to get this before the jump. Our fearless editor is going to have a full-report from OSU-USC, but let's just say it now, can we start an online petition that threatens pollsters with having their houses burned down if Ohio State somehow manages to finish the regular season without losing again and gets into the BCS Title game for a third consecutive year? 9 of the top 11 teams in this week's AP poll are from either the SEC (five) or the Big 12 (four). Each of these conferences also has a championship game. Handshake agreement between SEC and Big 12 fans to loot, pillage, and lay waste to the country if a team from any other conference gets to play USC for the BCS title? Rapprochement, thy name is BCS.

8 Most Interesting College Football Games of the Weekend
Sometimes choosing which college football games to watch is tough. Particularly since, unlike the NFL, the games kick off at odd hours, on odd stations, with odd match-ups. And there are so damn many of them. As college football has become more commoditized the top 2 or 3 games soak up 99% of the attention and the rest of the games sort of fly under the radar. Especially if they don't happen to feature top 25 teams. So we're doing you a favor with a viewing guide of sorts. Not necessarily the most competitive or the most scintillating games (although those are included as well) but the most interesting. If I were South Carolina, I'd find that girl in the stands and send her to Georgia's hotel...pronto.

After 21 Months Living in the Trees, Cal-Berkeley Tree Protesters Removed
Yeah, 21 months. The protest began when Cal announced that they were planning a $124 million dollar expansion of athletic facilities just outside their football stadium. The tree-sitters decided the 42 campus trees had to be protected and have been living in their branches ever since. For almost two years, they've had their food and waste raised and lowered in buckets by supporters on the ground. In typical Berkeley fashion the Cal officials put up a fence surrounding the perimeter of the trees and allowed the protest to continue while litigation ran its course. Meanwhile, nervous Cal fans have believed that at some point Jeff Tedford would tire of the process and take a job somewhere else. But at long last, the protest is over. More »

Rent a USC Song Girl for $150
The only catch is that you have to fill out a request form. Of course the form requires you to answer a few pressing questions. Such as, "What do you want the Song Girls to do?" I'm sure you can manage that. In fact, there's a good chance you were thinking of what you'd like the Song Girls to do, before you knew you could get the Song Girls to do anything at all. Careful though, there's a Dr. in charge of approving your requests—Dr. Justine Gilman. 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.

College Football Previews: #18 Tennessee
Last year Tennessee was 10-4 and won the SEC East. Change just three plays from three different games (a made field goal against South Carolina that sent the game into OT, Vanderbilt's missed field goal that would have won the Dores the game, and a blocked Kentucky field goal in OT) and Tennessee is 6-6. The same held true in 2006 (several plays from UT-Florida that ended in a 21-20 Gators win and the LSU loss on a Jamarcus Russell touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining). Change those two plays and Tennessee wins the SEC East and might be playing Ohio State for the national championship instead of Florida. And the year before that—the disastrous 2005 season that led to more drunken nights in Tennessee than the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment—change just three single plays and 5-6 becomes 8-3. So what I'm getting at is, it's not a cliche to say that three plays will likely end up determining whether Tennessee has a great or horrible season. Three damn plays. More »

Top Party Schools in Country, Shockingly, Correspond With Top Athletic Programs Except For...Randolph-Macon?
Randolph-Macon College is in Ashland, Virginia. Chances are you've never heard of this school prior to the party school listings. Every other school in the top 20 at least plays D-1 sports. Here's the top 20. Yep, slotted right in there with Texas, Florida State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Georgia and West Virginia is a tiny school on the outskirts of Richmond. We've already told you that Florida and their bingo wing'd girls took the top spot, but how in the world did a tiny school with only 1,125 students slide in at number 6? Lots of bukkake that's how.
