Today...
Louisville To Pay Bobby Petrino At Least $13 Million To Get The Hell Out
After a solid run of several fairly relevant seasons, the Louisville Cardinals are a horrifying disaster in 2018.

Will Muschamp, Self-Proclaimed Molder Of Young Men, Didn't Talk To His Players About Voting
College football fetishizes the roles of its coaches as more than just coaches. They’re Teachers of Student-Athletes and Molders of Men. Always with the molding of men! In reality, the coaching pool is a mixture of bloated, irritable hicks and ancient, anal-retentive freaks. (Both categories are ove...
Army Idiots Pranked Air Force By Jamming Their Live Mascots Into Crates

Maryland's Board Of Regents Chair Abruptly Resigns Following Board's Spectacular Fuck-Up
This development will not have the day-to-day importance to players on the University of Maryland football team as the firing of head coach DJ Durkin, but it is nonetheless another step in the right direction: James T.
