Fisher DeBerry, Racist ... Or Just Evil Devil Spawn?
OK, so we've been watching the video of Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments about African-American players, specifically that ""they run extremely well." First off, DeBerry — who we have a sneaking suspicion would be getting a bit more leeway if his team hadn't lost five games already this s...
You're Crazy, Man ... You're Crazy
The Wizard Of Odds sends us this photo of some chubby fellow streaking down the sidelines at Saturday's Cal Poly-Montana game....
Could ND's Savior Be Gone After One Year?
The Mighty MJD brings up something we hadn't thought about: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, the "savior" of college football's most "sainted" program, has a very cheap buyout clause in his contract that would allow him to go to an NFL team for just $1.5 million. That team would have to offer him a ...
Do Not Taunt Lee Corso
Nothing's funnier than when someone all prim and proper freaks out live on the air, so everyone's buzzing today about ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso flipping out on two Dallas radio hombres....
Bored Sports Information Directors Rule
We would have to think that if you're a low-level publicity person in charge of writing dreary press releases about small-school college football teams, you would do anything to escape the endless dreariness of your job. (We can't imagine the folks at Coastal Carolina are constantly battling off a...
Playing College Football's Kevin Bacon Game
We're sure some of you have seen this before, but it's new to us, so we're gonna toss it out there. For all those conversations you've had about who the best team in the country really is — Illinois beat Rutgers beat so and so, all the way up to the Miamis and the real teams — comes The College Fo...
Anybody Recovered From The USC Game Yet?
Honestly, you just know Nick Lachey was wetting his pants in South Bend on Saturday. We still haven't quite come down from the high of USC's thrilling 34-31 victory over Notre Dame, a game that somehow made everyone on both teams into a legend. Most of the Notre Dame fans we know aren't even angry...
Help ND Alums Keep Coach Weis From Dying
If you weren't officially excited enough about the Notre Dame-USC game already, let this wet your whistle: It's WeisWatchers, (another) Irish fans site. (Honestly, Irish fans, they're a little weird. In a good way, don't hate us.) The idea of the site is for all Irish fans in the South Bend area t...
In Defense Of Joe Pa's Views Of Lesbians
(Honestly, we love that we get to write headlines like that.)...
The Dirty Sheets Of South Bend
People are so excited about the USC-Notre Dame game this weekend that even travel arrangements are making the news. The fine folks at HotelChatter have taken a look at one of the worst hotels near Touchdown Jesus you could possibly find, the Knight's Inn South Bend, where one guest checked into th...
Does Joe Pa Hate Lesbians Too?
Yesterday, we made a glib remark about Joe Paterno and Penn State's homophobic coach, because hey, we're a blog, we're glib, it's what we do. We joked that you could say what you want about Joe Paterno, but at least unlike his women's basketball coach, he didn't hate lesbians....
Will The Boss Rock Touchdown Jesus?
We keep hearing about all these rumors, so since we are who we are, we might as well publish them. Whispers abound all around South Bend that tomorrow's pep rally for the Notre Dame game against the undefeated USC Trojans — recently moved from the Joyce Center to Notre Dame Stadium — will feature ...
BCS Finally Acknowledges That Earth Is Round
We love it when it takes almost a decade for a bunch of men in plaid suits to figure out something that our four-year-old cousin has known since birth....
Confirming Once Again: Penises Are Funny
From the front page of Friday's Purdue Exponent, this photo shows Purdue fans getting "rowdy" as they bat around a huge inflatable penis during their loss to Notre Dame a week and a half ago. Or, as the caption to the paper's photo puts it, an "oversized phallic object."...
College Football's Hidden Shenanigans
One of the best things about the Web is that it can strip away one moment from a larger event — or coverage of said event — that would have been lost otherwise and highlight it, for better or worse. Two of the best examples of this are videos from the last weekend of college football, currently ci...
SI And Mike Price Bury The Bodies Together
Sports Illustrated announced this morning that it and former Alabama coach Mike Price have "amiably resolved" the lawsuit Price filed against the magazine for a story it ran in 2003....
Oh, The Fun They'll Have
According to Sports By Brooks and KMPC Radio in Los Angeles, now that college football expert Nick Lachey and non-sports-related wife Jessica Simpson have reportedly split up (or maybe not), Lachey might actually be moving in with Southern Cal quarterback Matt Leinart. (We're going to assume he do...
Who Is The Dumbest Team In Football?
It's a general consensus, we think, that football players are considered dumb. Even if they were smart at birth, once their brains were subjected to repeated jostling for two decades, all the good genes probably ended up dripping out. Well, the Wall Street Journal today looks at how each NFL team ...
Rammer Jammer Motley Hammer
We're not sure what much more we can add to this picture except to say we're curious if this makes Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer author Warren St. John exuberant, horrified or both....
Alberts Prays To Wrong God For Help
Earlier this month, ESPN college football analyst Trev Alberts was fired by his network for refusing to show up because of an airtime dispute. In his first public comments since the firing, Alberts says that ESPN has pretty much crushed his ability to be on TV again....
