What they're saying out in the ether about LSU's 38-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game ...

• We Are The Sort Of Champions. Consider: A few hours before LSU beat Ohio State 38-24, the guys who run the BCS talked openly about turning the system into a de facto four-team playoff. In any other sport, that would be considered gauche—after all, it's essentially an admission that this year's champion isn't deserving. In college football, though, tradition holds that championships are won on the field so they can be denigrated off it. LSU is your national champion. It's all over but the shouting. [Slate]

LSU Will Also Beat Your Ass At Tetris

The day will surely come, my friend, when football will exist only in The Matrix. Why should humans risk serious injury and National Anthems by the Oak Ridge Boys when we can play the whole damn game on an Xbox? We're a step closer to that already, as LSU has revealed that its quarterbacks — Matt Flynn and Ryan Perrilloux — prepare for games by playing a customized Xbox game called the PlayAction Simulator.

NCAA Blogdome: Will The Madness Ever End?

As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. Whoa, whoa, wait a second. Where have I heard that line before? Oh, that's right ... the last time LSU lost a triple OT football game! (Creepy, eh? I must have like cool anti-Tiger powers or something. I could probably kick Battle Cat's ass.) Anyway, let's see what the Internets are saying about Arkansas' remarkable 50-48 triple-overtime win over No. 1 LSU ... More »

High-Percentage Field Goals Are For Losers

• Heauxly Crap. About a minute after Matt Flynn's last-second touchdown pass put the Tigers ahead of the ... Tigers, I had discovered that my eyebrows were still raised in amazement. LSU opted not to kick a field goal (or at least thought they'd still have time to boot one) and heaved one at the end zone, which was miraculously caught by Demetrius Byrd — the only athlete named Byrd that will have a pleasant time talking about himself today. As the scoreboard changed to "LSU 30, Auburn 24", nearby on that same board was "Time: 00:00.1" Were the ball, say, tipped by the cornerback in the end zone, perhaps that extra second falls off the clock, and Les Miles is given the warmth and love from fans and boosters rivaled only by Lloyd Carr in September.

Latest by Greek McPapadopoulos: High Percentage field goal? There's no such thing with an LSU kicker, who have long histories of sucking. And the one second thing was kind of overdone, since it was clear that three seconds ran off the clock more »

NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow

As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over No. 1 LSU ... More »

Sugar Bowl: Talk Amongst Yourselves

In case you've forgotten, the Nokia Sugar Bowl is this evening as Charlie Weis and his group of underachieving Irishmen take on those ESPN fictional national champions, the LSU Tigers. Notre Dame is getting 8.5 points tonight and I've got a funny feeling that's a number that you must pounce on. (For those of you who enjoy a wager, that is.) More »

If Only He'd Have Gone Another Week!

This man's name is Fraser Babineaux, and for the last year, he has been known around these here Internets as "LSUOverUSC," a guy absolutely obsessed with proving LSU deserved the national title over USC in 2003. His site is a case study in how the Internet can drive one mad; it is so niche and so single-minded that all of life's woes are filtered through the prism that, somehow USC caused it. The LSUoverUSC blog was, well, tightly wound. More »

One Depressing Sports Weekend

We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major who makes the Sweet 16 for the next 10 years will be asked if they can "pull a George Mason." More »

Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half

Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general. More »

Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half

Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation. More »

It's A Final Four Pants Party

Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking for them. Now that's an underdog. More »

In Praise Of The Big Baby

In a way, the undeniably blissful story of George Mason in this year's tournament has taken some focus off what would otherwise being a star-making week for LSU's Glen "Big Baby" Davis. The sophomore center is the type of unique creature almost exclusively associated with college basketball. More »

NCAA Roundup:All GMU, All The Time

• As exciting as the LSU-Texas and George Mason-Connecticut games were, the Florida-Villanova and UCLA-Memphis games were dogs. Particularly that last one; it had been a long time since we'd seen a team back into the Final Four. Not supposed to work that way.
• One of the more underpublicized facts of Glen "Big Baby" Davis? He has braces. That's fantastic. We wish all college basketball players had braces.
• Historically speaking, George Mason and George Washington were not exactly friends, which is apparently something that has leaked onto an on-court rivalry. It seems strange to be so fired up about men who wore powder wigs.
• The ESPN anchor just called this, "Glory Road without the social significance," which is like saying this site is like Pulitzer Prize-winning novel minus the Pulitzer, and the novel.
• We were talking to some Jewish friends of ours this weekend, and they're torn; they want to root for UCLA's Jordan Farmar, but they don't like the tattoos. Take your sports heroes where you can get them, friends.
• Congratulations to Dan Fearson, owner of the "Van Halen Rules" pick sheet in our tournament pool and your current leader. He didn't pick George Mason — no one in our pool did — but he did nail the other three Final Four teams. He has Florida over UCLA in the title game ... so he might be tough to beat.
