Why Does ESPN.com Insist On Referring To Bowls By Their Full, Corporate Names?
Reader Reggie pointed something out to us the other day: ESPN.com writers have a habit of referring to the various bowl games by their full, awkward, sponsored names. This is not how normal people write (unless it's to mock), so we went looking for examples. They were not hard to find....
This Is The Face Of A Man Who Earned His First Technical Foul In Six Years
Georgetown coach John Thompson III earned his first technical in six years last night, reacting to a questionable foul call on Nate Lubick in the second half of an embarrassing home blowout loss to Pitt.

Nick Saban Is The Ultimate Freakshow
Nick Saban won his third BCS title in four years last night, and given the likelihood that he'll reject the idea of sucking in the NFL one more time, he's probably going to win a lot more. He gets the best players and he trains those players better than any other coach possibly could. By the time h...
Here Is A Bunch Of People Insisting Notre Dame Would Have Won Last Night If Not For The Referees
The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams.

Here Is The Most Entertaining Moment Of Alabama's Dismantling Of Notre Dame
This game had nothing. It was dead on arrival. Maybe there were some moments—Brent Musberger salivating all over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend or McCarron getting shoved by his own center come to mind. But there was not a single entertaining moment until Nick Saban grimaced through his Gatorade bath. ...

<em>Newsday</em>, Like Twitter Users, Simply Cannot Tell Brian Kelly And Chip Kelly Apart

Women's College Hockey Team Shut Down For Hazing
Dalhousie University, in Halifax, wasn't having a great season. The Tigers were 2-8-2, good for last in their division.

Dear ESPN Announcers: Please Stop Inventing Merits Of Terrible Bowl Games
We can understand why so many mediocre bowls line our on-screen guides every December and early January: They're lucrative for everyone (well, almost everyone) involved.
