Scrubs Die First!
There's nothing more hilarious than these first few weekends of college basketball, when the proven stalwarts of the league get their toes wet and warm up those endorphins by taking on schools that no one outside of a 5-mile radius of the campus have ever heard of before. Stetson? Check. Farleigh D...
Brace Yourselves ... There's Another Baby Mangino ...
Ok, I did not see this one coming. Believe it or not, there are least two different families somewhere in the United States that decided that the perfect Halloween costume for their young infant was to dress him up like Kansas football coach Mark Mangino. What are the odds of that happening twice in...

College Football Preview: Avoiding Landmines Edition
Now that everyone knows exactly what's going to happen with the rest of the college football season, this is when something inevitably blows up. Because if there's one thing we know about the convoluted BCS system, it's this: nothing is certain with three weekends to go. Alabama still has to get pa...
The Seminoles vs. The Sigmas: A Blow-By-Blow Account
More details are floating in about the battle royale between members of the Florida State football team and the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity and if they turn out to be true ... they are amazing.

Thursday Night Preview: Virginia Tech at Miami
Virginia Tech at Miami (-4)-Tonight Virginia Tech and Miami continue the trail of tears-esque march towards crowning an ACC Champion.

Florida State Prepares For Boston College... By Thumping Some Black Frat Boys?

Keith Olbermann Loves Our Commenters
So I'm watching Countdown last night and what should appear during the Oddball segment but this, the video we posted yesterday of the girl vs. the bathroom stall. Although the story took the second spot to a woman and her pet slug (you can tell the election is over, can't you?), kudos nonetheless to...
Please Do Not Approach The Tigermobile
This is purported to be the sweet ride of one Willy-Mo, aka William Moore, senior safety for the Missouri Tigers; although judging from the photo below, it may be someone else's. At any rate, I don't know where this was taken, but it doesn't seem like it's a great part of town. In fact, according to...
Let Taxidermy Bring Out The Wildcat In You
Black Friday will be upon us soon and before you know it you will be huddled under blankets outside a Wal-Mart at four in the morning, begging the retailer to give you the honor being kicked in the head for a $10 DVD player. (Excuse me: "home entertainment system.") But why not avoid the muss and fu...
University Of Georgia Girl Vs. Bathroom Stall ... The Final Conflict
Of all the titanic college football matchups — like Ohio State vs. Michigan, Miami vs. Florida State, Texas vs. Oklahoma — there is one that is often overlooked. It's University of Georgia chick vs. bathroom stall. Come with us now into the women's restroom at Sanford Stadium, where the age-old conf...
So That's Why Everyone Hates Duke
Duke basketball is quite good, but not like Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong good. They haven't won the ACC conference since 2006, they haven't been to the Final Four since 2004, and they haven't won the title since 2001. So it's not like there aren't other squads that are equally deserving targets of...

Obama Received No Mandate In Death Valley
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject : Morning crap Lest we think that LSU fans were totally focused on hating Nick Saban and Alabama this past Saturday, please remember that The Pelican State is also very red. Can a lone fan cry ou...
College Basketball Returns—Now With Lower Field Goal Percentages!
Everyone's favorite team will open the college basketball season tonight, and by "tonight" I mean 4:00 p.m. this afternoon and by "favorite team" I mean "Georgia Southern," who will tip off against Houston in the first round of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament that formally begins the NCAA year.

College Football Roundup: The Hailey and Hanna Nutt Edition
In honor of BCS clarity arriving (thanks to Iowa we now know that the Big 12 will play the SEC for all the gold in Zimbabwe—that isn't already smuggled to Zurich), we bring you two striking young lasses who recently transferred from Arkansas to rejoin their daddy at Ole Miss. Meet Hailey and Hanna ...
Alabama-LSU: A Friendly Game Of Murder
What a game, huh!? The No. 1 team in the country was taken to overtime on Saturday, the atmosphere was electric, clothes were burned and everyone had a good old SEC time! Well, except for a couple of LSU fans who maybe got a little too carried away by the emotions of the day and ended up the victims...
Offer LSU Kids Free Beer And They'll Burn Anything
On Saturday we posted about LSU fans burning Nick Saban in effigy, which seemed rather hateful and extreme, even for them. Turns out, though, that it was all a promotion for a Baton Rouge condominium company, which provided free food and beer for the students to show up. Corporate schmucks promote h...
Have You Burned Your Former Head Coach In Effigy Lately?
We didn't get to this yesterday, but anything involves college students and fire is usually good copy for the next day. Some of the LSU peeps got together for what looked like a bonfire with a set of clothes as a centerpiece. But it was actually a burning in effigy of former LSU head coach Nick Saba...
