    Hugh 4: The Mediocre ACC Has a Message for You

    Not a ton of excitement in the 3:30 games. Perhaps I should be watching the Mormons of BYU battle Air Force? Or is all the action in the battle for the Almighty Wooden Potato in the storied Boise State-Idaho rivalry? The scene in Maryland is rather boring, partially due to the horrible conditions. Commenters mentioned a wet Stacey Dales reporting on the sidelines but we've yet to see any photographic proof. It's 15-14 with just over a quarter to play. ACC football at it's finest!

    Hugh 3: Gators Sticking it to Cocks Early

    A wacky finish to the Notre Dame-Navy game in which the Midshipman recovered two on-side kicks, used seemingly four time outs, and almost rallied to beat the Irish for a second straight year. Alas, Charlie Weis lives to see another day. In other early game finals, Ohio State and Penn State took care of their respective Big Ten rivals to get wins and Georgia squeaked by Auburn. In a 3:30 game, the Old Ball Coach had South Carolina battling it out at the Swamp for a few minutes before his QB threw two picks and a fumble to help the Gators get out to a 21-0 lead. Maryland and UNC are playing some bad football but ACC cheerleaders are okay, plus I always liked baby blue. On to your Hugh: More »

    Hugh 2: I Declare A Prank War!

    Since it looks like Mr. Weis is going to be keeping his job as the Leader of God's Army - thankfully, or else where would we put our fat jokes? - let's relay this little story: Adam Rose at the LA Times blog has been informed that the famed Tommy Trojan statue at USC was dowsed in blue paint last night, presumably by some rival school who has blue as their dominant school color. Someone like, say, UCLA. The Bruins apparently took advantage of the USC heading up to Stanford this weekend, leaving their statue unguarded and allowing the merry pranksters to swoop in for the sliming. Well done. Let's get you caught up on a few games, shall we? More »

    Hugh 1: Should He Stay Or Should He Go?

    Welcome back, friends, to your weekend edition of The Hugh! Seems like the big storyline in this week's early slate of games is whether or not Charlie Weis is going to still be employed at Notre Dame if he loses to Navy (currently tied at 7) or if he'll be another soul left jobless in this struggling economy. When you think about it, that line of thinking doesn't make a whole lot of sense - if the ND head honchos are really looking towards Navy as some kind of "test", isn't that proof enough he should be canned? - so don't expect Weis to go anywhere. Except the Sizzler for their Steak & Steak Combos! Delicious! Let's get you caught up elsewhere in the land of collegiate pigskin. More »

    Hugh 4: More Big'uns Coming Your Way

    While we're enjoying the 3:30 games and rubbing the bedsores from laying in front of the TV for another Saturday (or is it lying? Where's Ufford when you need him?), don't forget about the two quasi-colossal games in the 8:00 hole. The No. 2 Texas Tech-No. 8 Oklahoma State game will be liveblogged here by Matt Sussman.Theimplied BCS implications by those rankings are obvious. But don't forget about No. 7 USC at No. 21 Cal. The Golden Bears might have a backdoor shot into a BCS bowl if they can take down the Trojans at home tonight. More »

    Hugh 3: Bama Rolls Into The Bayou

    So after watching Georgia pull out a win against Kentucky and the unheralded Cowboys of Wyoming giddyup into Knoxville and knock off the Vols (more on that later), it's time for the big 3:30 game. Alabama scored early on a John Parker Wilson keeper, but LSU has answered with two scores of their own. Arguably for the first time all season, Alabama appears to have their hands full. No. 15 LSU 14, No. 1 Alabama 7, 2nd Quarter. More »

    Hugh's Your Illusion 2: Richt's Trip To Lexington More Eventful Than Planned

    So this Georgia - Kentucky game has been nipple-hardeningly amazing. It's just back-and-forth awesomeness with scoring abound. And now Georgia just turned the ball over back to Kentucky, and it's becoming more and more likely that Georgia might be taking home another loss in their disappointing season. UPDATE: Stafford just put Georgia ahead with some badass scrambling and then somehow completing a TD pass in quadruple coverage. Fuck. Me. We have some nooner finals and a dose of Hugh after the jump. More »

    Hugh 1: 'Welcome Back Nick! Now Die! DIE!'

    While Ohio State, Texas and all their rowdy friends are taking care of business, it's a good time to sneak a peek at one of our big 3:30 games, specifically Nick Saban's return to Baton Rouge as Alabama defends its No. 1 ranking against LSU. It's always a fun story when a head coach returning to his former home field with a new team, but the Tiger faithful have packed extra Haterade for this tailgate. Don't expect any of that down-home southern hospitality to find Saban today, as LSU fan Cajun Boy In The City explains in a touching, heartfelt essay. More »

    Hugh 4: High-Fives All Around

    Well folks, you did it. We put out the call for action, and you did not disappoint. (Unlike Georgia and Florida State, who are currently getting smacked around. End obligatory update.) In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear the cry of joy from the young Iowan boy. And the gasp of horror escaping from the old lady in Arizona. And the shout of "Praise Allah ... among others" from the newly-accepting Al-Qaeda member. More »
