There Are Ways To Support Your Brother That Don't Involve Murder
I really wish Demetrius M. Pepper was either less devoted to his brother, or better at stealing cars. Pepper shot and killed a 60-year-old woman, and shot a store clerk, in the process of stealing their cars so he could get to South Carolina's spring game and watch his brother Nathan, a junior Gamec...
Gary Wanted Scooter to Cheat
What we have here is a point-shaving scandal that can in absolutely no way rock the foundation of college sports. Why not, you ask? Well, because it involves the Toledo Rockets, Scooter, Gary, and groceries....
Jim Harbaugh Has Some Breaking News, Dammit!
In case you didn't hear him the first time, new Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh insists that it's not just wishful thinking on his part that Pete Carroll is about to begin his final season with USC. Harbaugh said it to CBS Sportsline earlier this week, then repeated it to the Los Angeles Times ...

Roll On, Eighteen Wheeler, Roll On
We're actually big fans of the huge semi trucks that college football teams use to transport all their equipment from game-to-game; when we went to the Rutgers-Illinois game this year, we actually waved to the guy driving the Illini truck. Illinois had lost 33-0, and he grouchily nodded back. At lea...
Your Long National Nightmare Is Over
Over the weekend, Pro Football Talk reported that everybody's favorite mathematician Joe Theismann was likely out as Monday Night Football "analyst," with his likely replacement being the infinitely superior Ron Jaworski. Today, The New York Times gets in on the act, confirming it with ESPN sources....
But Who Will Exchange Witty Banter With Jim Belushi?
You may have seen the last of Joe "Norman Einstein" Theismann in the Monday Night Football booth. Pro Football Talk is reporting that Theismann is out, and will be replaced by the great Ron Jaworski....
Iowa Stifles Online Dissent (Almost)
So here's a clever idea: To make sure that no enterprising and surly fan starts a campaign to take down the head coach at your program, the University of Iowa has bought the rights to FireKirkFerentz.com....
USC Full Of White Power Bills
On the list of Poor Internets Decisions By High-Profile College Athletes, we have to say, starting up a Facebook group devoted to "White Power" as a "joke" has to be rather high up there....
The U Forgets What Makes It The U
You know, if they keep this kind of funny business up, the U is going to fall tragically behind in recruiting next year....
A <em>Real</em> Team Would Play A Tripleheader
More proof that our man Ron Zook — ARE YOU INTENSE ENOUGH FOR ZOOK???!!! — is a genius and is a force with which to be reckoned: He's smart enough to schedule games against teams who already have games scheduled that day....
Ron Jaworski Finds A Home
If I had to rank all of the professional football broadcasts that ABC's done in the last six months, I'd say that the Chicago Rush vs. Kansas City Brigade Arena Football game they just had was number one. It was their best effort. Beyond that, every broadcast involving Tony Kornheiser is tied for la...
Who Wouldn't Want This On Their Mantle?
Because we've fallen into the strange rut about writing about the groin areas of men in our late-day posts of late ... here's another one!...
Idaho, Remaining On The Cutting Edge Of Video Game Technology
So this is enough to make one happy: The cover boy for the new EA Sports NCAA Football 2008 game is ... Boise State quarterback Jared Zabransky!...
Perhaps He Will Someday Be Played By Helen Mirren
As creepy as we find recruiting — "Hey, look, it's a 16-year-old! Let's make him strip to his underwear and sprint for us!" — we do enjoy the wide variety of personalities and segments of humanity the vaster scope of coverage affords us. The more people we meet, the more likely there's going to be s...
Jerry Glanville Is Movin' On Up
So you know how Jerry Glanville is now the defensive coordinator at Hawaii? That's a job that has always made sense; if you've made your money in football, and still want to be a part of it but don't want to live the insane, 20-hour-day of the modern coach, kicking back and coaching defense in Hawai...
Prepare For An Extra Half Hour Of College Football
Every Day Should Be Saturday points out that ESPN is launching a new daily college football show next season, and it has the oh-so-desirable timeslot of 3:30 in the afternoon, which, while preferable to "Rome Is Burning," is still indicative of ESPN thinking, as they put it, "assuming you're on the ...
It's Too Bad Ricky Williams Wasn't Around For This
It seems like the sort of thing Ricky would have loved. These are Texas football fans and they are, according to the tipster, celebrating a win over Oklahoma....
Bearcats Football Trying Out The Eight-Man Weave
You know, when you're talking group sex, you're obviously talking about Ohio. This is something the Cincinnati Bearcats like to call "an eight-on-one drill."...
We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert
Look, we're still a little unclear on why the University of Florida's mascot statue, Albert the Alligator, was placed on the Ohio State campus recently (some kind of a Nike promotion or something). All we know is that it took more than five hours for students there to destroy it, which is simply una...
