Do You Have Irish-Wolverines Fever?
If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old m...
Shaq Has Many Idols
This weekend, during Tragedy Bowl I, ESPN's cameras found Shaquille O'Neal, a 2000 graduate of LSU, up in a luxury box. This means he needed transport to the game. This is what he rode....
The Big Ten Network Needs All The Good PR It Can Get
We remember, back in March of this year, when we constantly railed against Major League Baseball's desire to put its Extra Innings package only on DirectTV, the masses rose up, and the uproar was so deafening that MLB couldn't help but notice, even way up there in their castle in the skies. (It floa...
There's LSU ... And Then Everyone Else

College GameDay: An Appreciation
Drew wrote a thoughtful piece about ESPN's traveling band of college football analysts that we probably should have run yesterday. I still think it's semi-pertinent since these guys are the exact opposite of the professional counterparts that we'll be tolerating today, who seem to excel at nothing e...
Parlay O' the Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like bacon and hot fudge. Each weekend I will share some of my valuable college football gambling wisdom with you, the reader. Just remember, most of said "wisdom" comes from years of losing ridiculously speculative bets; when you lose all your money don't ...
Imagine Being The Guy In The Plunger Costume
In lieu of some sound effects humor over at EDSBS, we present you with a rather gorgeous example of spot photography....
Don't Even THINK Of Ranking Michigan In Your Top 25

JoePa Demands A Job Done Right
If we had our way, Joe Paterno would coach Penn State until the end of time. If the Lord ever decides, misguidedly, to take JoePa, we hope his ghost patrols the sidelines until all the players are wearing rocket packs. Because he's our type of guy....
Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...
App State Wins!
Wow, that sure looked impressive from the ten second highlight package! The Division 1-AA (now called something else) champs from Appalachian State came up to the Big House and ran roughshod over the Corn and Blue. For some Dan Shanoff style insta-history let's go to...Dan Shanoff!...
Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Pt. 1
And we’re underway! Welcome to another glorious season of college football and the official kickoff of Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Now let’s see what everybody had to say while I was watching Fulham’s miracle.... (photo courtesy of SEC Poon, easily the greatest website of the new season)...
Football Games ALL DAY Tomorrow! Seriously!
As we remind you one last time to join our Pick 'Em group, we prepare ourselves for a rousing opening weekend of college football....
And, At Last, It Begins (Kind Of)
As much as we look forward to the beginning of college football season, it still takes us by surprise when it actually begins: It's actually kicking off tonight. In the spotlight game, it's Louisiana State, ranked No. 2 by just about everybody, travels to Mississippi State. The LSU fans are excited...
Former OSU President Glad To Be Out Of That Sodom
We've made a lot of jokes about Ohio State here — most of them have been made for us — but we've never considered their fans rampaging monsters bent on destruction. Of course, we've never been president of the university....
Trees Are No Match For Vols Fans
Ah, the classic liberal enclave of Berkeley. Aging hippies, still listening to Workingman's Dead on 33 rpm, railing against the capitalist system and eating all kinds of food that tastes terrible. Where would we be without them? They remind us of what college campuses used to be like, before everybo...
In One Way, The Illini Already Are Champions
The college football season is but three days away, and to the hardcore fan, that means only one thing: The Fulmer Cup has been awarded! And yes, this year's winner of Every Day Should Be Saturday's yearly ode to collegiate athlete malfeasance is one that hits us close to the heart. Somewhere aroun...
Bruins Nation Taking Down USC, One Coach At A Time
Hell hath no fury like a UCLA fan with some dirt on someone in the USC football program. The Internets are abuzz today with the news that Todd McNair, USC's running backs coach, was convicted accused (and pleaded out) of dogfighting and animal cruelty back in the 1990s. The Los Angeles Times did up ...
