Sugar Bowl: Talk Amongst Yourselves
In case you've forgotten, the Nokia Sugar Bowl is this evening as Charlie Weis and his group of underachieving Irishmen take on those ESPN fictional national champions, the LSU Tigers. Notre Dame is getting 8.5 points tonight and I've got a funny feeling that's a number that you must pounce on. (F...
Good Morning: Hold Everything You Love...Deadspin Returns to the Super Bowl
Greetings, Spinheads. Today's our final day together, and before we break out the huffing supplies and begin a rousing game of alligator fuckhouse, I have a quick announcement: I'd like to let all parties in the Miami area know that I've once again been permitted to display my on-the-scene reporting...
Every Bowl Game Will Most Likely Be a Letdown From Here on Out
Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up . Or I could just put up another Darrent Williams post and let people scream and yell all over that as they did last night. Considering la...
You the Man Now, Blog!
Like everyone else who's ever tinkered with these evil internets, my testicles tingled a bit when Brent Musberger, Bob Davie, and Kirk Herbstreit spent a good two minutes discussing the crazy bloggers who were going to start calling for Lloyd Carr's ouster if he lost to USC. It was one of those na...
Bowl Roundup: Clearly, The Runner's Knee Was Down
Just as one should never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, one should also never propose after scoring the winning two-point conversion in the Fiesta Bowl. That's Boise State tailback Ian Johnson popping the question to his girlfriend, Chrissy Popadics, moments after the Broncos had beaten ...
Time To Display Some Confidence, People
We promised you a reminder when our little College Bowl Pants Party League officially went live, so here it is: You can join the Deadspin Pants Party Bowl League right here....
Let's Revisit That Rose Bowl, USC
Yahoo! Sports, seemingly dedicated to the sole pursuit of torturing the University of Southern California, has done some digging about the instant replay booth in last year's national championship game. They've discovered that it was an incorrectly hooked-up replay monitor that prevented the prope...
Look, An Important Weekday College Football Game!
We don't often get to write about important college football games here — that's usually MJD's job on the weekends — but we have a rare one tonight: A Thursday game between two undefeated teams that could very well decide who plays in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS "Championship" on January 8. (January...
Week 3, Previewed The Tecmo Way
When we go through our Friday selection of various weekend previews, we hit the usual suspects (King, Simmons, Zimmerman, O.J.) and then always make sure to drop in on The Ex-Burgher's Tecmo Bowl previews. Essentially, he uses the Tecmo Bowl prototype (with updated rosters!) from the Tecmo Super B...
This Book Costs More Than Most People's Yearly Salary
How much do you think you would pay for the greatest book in the world? We're talking about the definitive book on the planet, one that would somehow combine what every other book you've ever read has done for you, change your life, maybe even take out the trash from time to time. How much would y...
The True Nature Of Bo's Tecmo Dominance
From our old friends at Kissing Suzy Kolber comes this rather classic video of showing just how great Bo Jackson was on Tecmo Bowl. It's a quarter-long touchdown run. This almost certainly happened to us repeatedly as a child....
Bowling's Watergate Has Nation On Edge
We've become accustomed to cheating in baseball and soccer; but when the purity of bowling is questioned, is there any hope for mankind? Dear God, it must be a mistake. Not bowling! Our story so far: Robert Mushtare, 17, of Carthage, N.Y., recently rolled two perfect 900 series and 12 perfect game...
Kids Bowl The Darndest Things
Kids. They leave their clothes everywhere, they're noisy as hell, and every time you take them bowling they show you up. It's embarrassing, really, when you're trying to impress that special lady with your skills on Lane 4, and over on Lane 6, some gnome is rolling a perfect game. Michael Tang of ...
Blogdome: Rose Bowl Edition
What they're saying on the Texas and USC blogs, the morning after ... • Burnt Orange Nation. "We're Number One! I embraced total strangers tonight the way I do my own family, and I came very close to crying tears of joy." • IndieWIRE SXSW. "Horns Win! The city of Austin is alive tonight." • Longho...
Rose Bowl: The Morning After
All right, all right, it's the morning after, and we still can't quite believe that game last night. Some more thoughts as we recover:...
Vince Young Becomes A Legend
We just watched one of the most incredible games we've ever seen, and we certainly hope you did too....
National "Title" Pants Party: Longhorns Vs. Trojans
It so rarely happens that even though we obviously need a playoff, it's pretty much impossible not to get excited about tonight's Rose Bowl BCS "title" game between Southern California and Texas. (We still hope the first quarter goes like this.) Hell, it's so exciting even the President was consi...
Laura Quinn Gives Us A Fiesta Of Pain
Thoughts while watching about three hundred shots of Brady Quinn's sister, Laura, during the Fiesta Bowl last night: 1. We kind of miss that TV show, Xena, Warrior Princess. 2. We thought A.J. Hawk was some sort of famous skateboarder. Apparently we're confused. 3. Brent Musberger is still al...
The Trophy Monstrosity
Via TrojanWire and Every Day Should Be Saturday, we present the trophy given to the winner of the Fiesta Bowl this year. That's really it. This isn't actual size, but oh, if it were....
A Couple Of Naughty Longhorns
Two Texas Longhorns are in trouble, and their timing could be considered poor. The Austin Police Department released a statement last night saying that they were investigating two different criminal incidents involving individuals "involved in the UT athletics program," which sounds like a nice wa...
