    Hugh Is Impressed With What He Sees From the 'Eers

    West Virginia, led by the fleet-footed Pat White, is having a field day on the ground in Louisville. Energized by a goaline stand to end the half the Mountaineers opened things up and have now compiled well over three hundred yards on the ground. White is leading the way with 199 yards and three touchdowns on the ground with two additional touchdowns coming through the air. Noel Devine is racking up the stats as well, having surpassed the 100 yard mark with ease thanks in part to one run of 79 yards. More »

    Hugh Aren't What You Used to Be

    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.

    Erin Andrews Is Not A Fan Of The Facebook

    • Erin Andrews chats with Dave Hollander, pretends not to know what Facebook is. Also thinks her being one of sports most talked about personalities isn't as good as being a cheerleader. In talking about her dancing says at Florida, Andrews says, "I'm still close with a lot of the girls. A few of them went on to become Lakers Girls, Denver Broncos cheerleaders. I was the only one who turned out to be nothing. All the rest of 'em danced for NFL teams and I didn't do anything." Oh gag me with the humility spoon. [FanHouse] More »

    Joe Paterno Isn't Going Anywhere, According To Joe Paterno

    In front of a pep rally crowd of over 6,500 spectators, Joe Paterno announced that, despite rumors, he has no intentions of retiring, meaning he'll be staying on for 2009. An exciting announcement for sure, unless you're one of the Penn State boosters. Or the athletic director. Or anyone with any sense. Seriously, how do you get rid of a legend like JoePa when he's clearly past his expiration date and announcing another year of coaching? More »

    Some Day, Somebody's Gonna Make You Wanna Turn Around And Say Goodbye

    Last night was supposed to be a crowning achievement for Deadspin, LLP. The Phil Savage email story was scheduled to be on the late night SportsCenter, but was then axed by the producers because the night was was supposedly "heavy." I was even sent a copy of the opening to the segment: "Story on SportsCenter. It begins : As someone who has been the punchline on Deadspin - you don't want to be the punchline on Deadspin ....."

It will be my first trip ever to Happy Valley and Beaver Stadium and part of my journey will be to figure out why there are so many names for one little place.
