Yes, the YouTube Sports broadcaster and owner of many fine Kentucky Wildcats T-shirts once again tried his hand at liv...
College Football Roundup: The Big 12 Meets the SEC
It's Oklahoma and Florida for the BCS Title—an imperfect end to a season when no football team was perfect. Except, you know, Utah and Boise State. But they don't really count. What with their small conferences and even smaller media markets and exposure. The BCS is fair and impartial. Except, you ...
How Great Was That Play? So Great I Could Punch My Coach In The Face!
BeamerBall had a new wrinkle installed before its clash with Boston College in the ACC Championship yesterday. Anytime Virginia Tech comes up with a big play, someone walks up next to Coach Beamer and knocks him upside the head. Must've worked, as the Hokies took care of business yesterday and walke...
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, m...
Oklahoma Controls Its Own Destiny...And Pretty Much Everyone Elses'
Missouri was a sexy team this time last year, poised to shock the college football world and play for a national championship, and then it shit the bed against Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship. Now the boot is on the other foot, with the Sooners poised to punch their own ticket to Miami and a BC...
Previewing Your Late Games, And Doubting The Injury Reports
Alabama vs. Florida at Atlanta, GA. So Urban Meyer says Percy Harvin isn't gonna play (he's being listed as doubtful, which, really, means nothing). And the doctor said it wasn't contagious. At least it wasn't before I started picking it. Alabama has been blowing teams off the ball all season, and t...
HUGH: Looking Good, Fighting Forces Of America...I Guess...
Navy 17, Army 0, Half .Navy's Shun White has 122 yards and a TD. The only thing uglier than Army's play is their uniforms. If the camo really worked, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT. Oh, how I wish that were true. But stop and think about this: shouldn't these two teams be ganging up on The Russians o...
Previewing Army-Navy And The Rest Of Your Nooners
Army vs. Navy at Philadelphia. The only tradition in this game of late is Army getting continually walloped by Navy. The Black Knights haven't won this game since 2001, meaning that three classes of Cadets went through West Point without beating Army a single time. Don't expect any different this ye...
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.

College Football Preview: Why Conference Championships Suck Edition
Of all the ridiculous aspects of the BCS system, the conference championship game pisses me off more than any other because it points out the flagrant hypocrisy of the college presidents. In the same time period when they've fought a college football playoff because of the time it would add to the ...
Rudy Carpenter Still Having Trouble Behaving At Basketball Games
Folks may remember Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter and his preference for not-gay pink shirts. Well, it seems that going psycho at college basketball games isn't enough juice for Rudy, so he took his act on the road—and recently got himself ejected from the gym at a girl's high school baske...
Meet Your New Washington Football Coach (Allegedly)
Coaches who follow in the debris-littered wake of Tyrone Willingham don't tend to fare well; just ask Buddy Teevens and Charlie Weis. But apparently Steve Sarkisian is willing to give it a shot, as ESPN and the Seattle Times are both reporting that his ascension to the head coaching position with th...
Do Not Mess With An Auburn Coach's Wife
Tommy Tuberville "resigned" yesterday as the head coach at Auburn University. Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell his assistants, who were out on the road recruiting, completely unaware that they no longer had jobs. As you can imagine, their families are not too happy about that, so a couple of a...

It's Going To Be A Cold Winter In Knoxville
The effects of the recession are being felt everywhere, even at universities with big-time football programs. In Monday's online edition of the Knoxville News Sentinel, it was reported that new Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin will make $2 million next season. Then, in the local news section the fol...
Greg Robinson Reads Children's Classics
You've gotta feel for Greg Robinson. He seems like a nice enough guy, and by all accounts he's a decent coach. His heart's in the right place, and all that. But if you ever wanted a more vivid picture of what the strain of coaching a major college football team is like, take a look at the video belo...
Charlie Weis Will Live to Fail Another Day
Even though his formal meeting with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick isn't scheduled until December 8, the leaked reports coming out of South Bend say that head coach Charlie Weis will miraculously return for 2009. Weis, 28-21 in his four years at Notre Dame, ended the 2008 season in predi...
You've Got Some Red On You: That Rebel Pete Carroll Is At It Again
Trojan blogs are calling it a "ballsy" move, but I prefer the term harebrained, or possibly "retarded." USC coach Pete Carroll announced today that his team will wear their home jerseys in their game with UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, even though they're the visitors and by NCAA rules must wear...
