Hot Mic At Ole Miss-Cal Picks Up Fan Yelling "Fuck You, Communist Motherfucker"

Reggie Bush Returned To The Coliseum And Had A Little Fun
Reggie Bush, as the NCAA’s draconian sanctions of USC stipulate, has been permanently disassociated from the program; his records were never set, his wins were never won, he’s not allowed sideline access to practices and games. In fact, you’re not even allowed to think about Reggie Bush’s career at ...

Tulane Uses Fake Kneel Down To Set Up Miraculous Game-Winning Touchdown Against Houston

There's Nothing More Predictable Than Mike Leach Suddenly Having Dumb Thoughts About Homeless People
College football coaches tend to be graded on a steep and extremely generous curve when it comes to their personalities. How well they do or don’t do their jobs is easy enough to assess, because it creates a binary win/loss record that reflects the sum of the players they recruit and the assistants ...

So, you’re trailing 17-10, fourth-and-goal at the one-yard line, five minutes left in the fourth quarter. What do you do? Trick question: You’re Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi, a lame as hell coward, so you kick a field goal....

Maryland Attempts Fake Field Goal; No One Fooled
For a whole host of reasons (Maryland scoring two points in the first half, the first third down conversion of the game coming just before halftime, a seven-yard Temple punt in the fourth quarter, Maryland still not scoring after that, etc.), Maryland-Temple can be safely shelved among the worst, d...
Mississippi State's Garrett Shrader Evolves Into Human Helicopter, Fails To Convert First Down

The Tar Heels then forced the Demon Deacons to settle for a field goal, which capped off a drive that left jus...

The First Game Of The Rest Of Our Lives
Eighteen years ago this morning I awoke to shouts from the hall of my dorm. “We’re going to war! We’re going to war!” The origin of the shouting was my neighbor Brian, known for his histrionics, so I went back to sleep.
