Brent Musburger Said Piss, And Kirk Herbstreit Couldn't Keep His Shit Together
On Saturday night, we all speculated about what Brent Musburger could have said that was bad enough that ABC felt the need to cut off the audio while he and Kirk Herbstreit pulled themselves together. Today, we have the unedited version: piss. He said "piss," instead of "pick." ...
The Official Boise State Twitter Feed Was Honest For About 30 Seconds After The Broncos Lost Their Season Opener
Here's the official account for Boise State Athletics (Go Broncs!) reacting to Friday night's loss to the Michigan State Spartans.

How Tall Are Nick Saban's Shoe Inserts?
It's pretty easy to find Nick Saban's height: Saban was a defensive back for the Kent State Golden Flashes for the 1970, 1971, and 1972 seasons and also played for the baseball team in 1972. Every year and for both teams, his height and weight were listed at 5-foot-6, 185 lbs. So he's about three a...
Brent Musburger Bleeped By ESPN Censors After Saying Something Naughty

But his comments during tonight's Michigan-Alabama blowout were something that necessitated censors using the seven-second delay, and ones Musburger later remarked were "a Freu...

Beer And Game Pairing: Hell Or High Watermelon With Bowling Green At Florida
Fruit and beer have an uneasy relationship, much like Gators fans and Florida sucking. Yet here we are, in 2012, and just as I'm watching this unsteady SEC power flail against some team called Bowling Green, I'm also enjoying the seasonal release Hell or High Watermelon by the San Francisco brewery ...
Another Fan Dies At A Football Game, This Time After Falling From Upper Level To Lower Level While Celebrating A Touchdown
Isaac Grubb, of Lenoir City, Tennessee, died on Friday night after falling over a 33-inch balcony railing in the Georgia Dome and dropping to the lower level. Grubb fell on another man who was in attendance, but that fan only suffered minor injuries. The Facebook page of an Isaac Grubb from Lenior C...
Yes, Penn State's Band Played "We Are Young" During Today's Game
The Penn State Blue Band put forth a rendition of Fun's "We Are Young" during the first half of today's matchup against Ohio. Should they have done that? (Chime in in the comments.) [ESPN]...

The Rice Marching Band Took Some Halftime Shots At "U$C"
Thanks to Logan who sent in this photo of the Rice MOB (Marching Owl Band)'s performance at halftime of last night's season opener against UCLA. It seems, judging from Twitter, that the entire show was USC-themed—maybe some common ground with their Bruin opponents, or maybe just taking advantage of ...
Stupidest Football Play In History Occurs As Player Returns Fumble 58 Yards In Wrong Direction Only To Have Opponents Tackle Him
This actually happened! Kent's Andre Parker recovered a blown punt return after the ball grazed a Towson player, only to return the recovered fumble toward his own goal. The only thing that stopped him from scoring a safety for Towson? Towson's punt return team, who foolishly tackled him before h...
Freshman UCLA Quarterback Brett Hundley Rushed For A 72-Yard Touchdown On His First Career Snap
When new UCLA head coach Jim Mora named redshirt freshman Brett Hundley starting quarterback for this season, it raised a few eyebrows. After all, the Bruins had two returning senior quarterbacks. To Mora's credit, it appears he may be on to something—the 6'4" 225 quarterback from Chandler, Arizon...

The college football season starts today, and the Pac-12's new series of networks (seven of them, they're proud to explain) will be under the microscope as critics wait to see if the fledgling net can find the same success the Big Ten did when they launched their own cable channel five years ago....
