Iowa State's Mascot Is Somehow A Living Thing
Bringing you all things North Dakota State, Minnesota and NDSU are seesawing back and forth. NDSU has a 24-21 lead thanks to running back Tyler Roehl hitting the 250-yard mark on just 15 carries. But most of you are watching Iowa State-Oklahoma, Vanderbilt-South Carolina, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Indi...
How Pam Ward Can Get You Hammered
Not to slurp all over my cable provider, but Buckeye Cable is cool enough to not only provide the Big Ten Network, they actually air TWO games at once. So that's why I'm watching Minnesota-North Dakota State. It's tied 14-14, and apart from the sadness surrounding the fact that these two teams are o...
For My Next Bet, I'll Need A Volunteer From The SEC
You've got a half hour left to put down money on amateur athletes. You're desperate. I mean, REALLY desperate. You turn to Deadspin for three shoe-in victories. You'll probably only cash in on one of them, but it's that one game in which you'll be forever indebted to me....

NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...
Get Hammered With Lou Holtz
We're still rather amazed by Lou Holtz's magic trick, so perhaps that's clouding our judgment, but we're really starting to fall in love with Holtz's weekly "pep talks." They're bizarre, out-of-place and entirely self-contained, to the point that we find ourselves legitimately pepped! Fire us up, Lo...
It's Scary Down There In Baton Rouge
Last weekend, the genius that is Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday attended the Florida-LSU game in Baton Rouge. We've never been to an SEC football game, but, man, do we want to now.
