Now This Is The Way To End A Press Conference
One might say that Bill Stewart is heavily invested in the state of West Virginia: Not only does he coach the Mountaineers, but he was born and raised there. The following video doesn't quite rise to the level of a Jimmy Patsos email, but it's head-scratchingly wonderful nonetheless....
"To The Hizzeeeeee!" Is Prepared To Sweep The Nation
Now that "boom goes the dynamite" has officially peaked as a cultural phenomenon, it's time to find a new contender for amateur sports announcer catchphrases that will set the internet on fire. The degree of difficulty on this one is much higher, because it's not the phrase itself that will leave yo...
Nude High School Cheerleaders Now Less Nude, Sue School
It's a good thing they didn't have cell phones when I was in high school; I'd still be there trying to graduate. You may have heard of the Bothell, WA high school cheerleaders who took naked cell phone pictures of themselves and then "accidentally" sent them to the entire school. Well, their parents...
Kige Ramsey Paints Word Pictures With Alabama-Florida Live Blog
If you weren't able to watch the Alabama-Florida game on Saturday, I hope that you at least had computer access so that you could follow along as Kige Ramsey live blogged the event. Yes, the YouTube Sports broadcaster and owner of many fine Kentucky Wildcats T-shirts once again tried his hand at liv...
College Football Roundup: The Big 12 Meets the SEC
It's Oklahoma and Florida for the BCS Title—an imperfect end to a season when no football team was perfect. Except, you know, Utah and Boise State. But they don't really count. What with their small conferences and even smaller media markets and exposure. The BCS is fair and impartial. Except, you ...
How Great Was That Play? So Great I Could Punch My Coach In The Face!
BeamerBall had a new wrinkle installed before its clash with Boston College in the ACC Championship yesterday. Anytime Virginia Tech comes up with a big play, someone walks up next to Coach Beamer and knocks him upside the head. Must've worked, as the Hokies took care of business yesterday and walke...
Big XII Championship Live Blog: #2 Oklahoma Vs. #20 Missouri
Now that you're all hero-ed out from the SEC Championship, certainly there's enough quarterback love letters in your back pocket for Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel in the Big XII Championship in Kansas City. The Sooners are about 17-point faves, which means the live blog will be interesting by, oh, m...
Oklahoma Controls Its Own Destiny...And Pretty Much Everyone Elses'
Missouri was a sexy team this time last year, poised to shock the college football world and play for a national championship, and then it shit the bed against Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship. Now the boot is on the other foot, with the Sooners poised to punch their own ticket to Miami and a BC...
Previewing Your Late Games, And Doubting The Injury Reports
Alabama vs. Florida at Atlanta, GA. So Urban Meyer says Percy Harvin isn't gonna play (he's being listed as doubtful, which, really, means nothing). And the doctor said it wasn't contagious. At least it wasn't before I started picking it. Alabama has been blowing teams off the ball all season, and t...
HUGH: Looking Good, Fighting Forces Of America...I Guess...
Navy 17, Army 0, Half .Navy's Shun White has 122 yards and a TD. The only thing uglier than Army's play is their uniforms. If the camo really worked, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT. Oh, how I wish that were true. But stop and think about this: shouldn't these two teams be ganging up on The Russians o...
Previewing Army-Navy And The Rest Of Your Nooners
Army vs. Navy at Philadelphia. The only tradition in this game of late is Army getting continually walloped by Navy. The Black Knights haven't won this game since 2001, meaning that three classes of Cadets went through West Point without beating Army a single time. Don't expect any different this ye...
MAC Championship Live Blog: #12 Ball State Cardinals Vs. Buffalo Bulls
This is pretty much the only way Ford Field gets to host a championship football game. The Chirpin' Birds of Ball State will try to stay undefeated — again — against the blue-colored Bulls of the University At Buffalo. The winner gets to move on to play an important bowl game ... in the SAME FOOTBAL...
Bottoms Up, Hawkeyes: Ruminations On Metrodome Bathroom Sex, Plus, How To Make A Bull Gator
Time for another edition of Waxing Off, the feature born of that venerable site The Black Table and carried over here and given a sporty new coat of paint. This week we've asked five talented female writers to ruminate on: Lois Feldman and the Iowa Hawkeye Metrodome Sexcapade....
How The Gruden Stole Christmas
So are we pretty much agreed that the Big Three in Christmas specials are The Grinch, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas? (Apologies to Will Leitch). Well, one of these will not be seen in the Tampa Bay area as scheduled on Monday, as ABC is pre-empting A Charlie Brown Chri...
College Football Preview: Why Conference Championships Suck Edition
Of all the ridiculous aspects of the BCS system, the conference championship game pisses me off more than any other because it points out the flagrant hypocrisy of the college presidents. In the same time period when they've fought a college football playoff because of the time it would add to the ...
Rudy Carpenter Still Having Trouble Behaving At Basketball Games
Folks may remember Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter and his preference for not-gay pink shirts. Well, it seems that going psycho at college basketball games isn't enough juice for Rudy, so he took his act on the road—and recently got himself ejected from the gym at a girl's high school baske...
Meet Your New Washington Football Coach (Allegedly)
Coaches who follow in the debris-littered wake of Tyrone Willingham don't tend to fare well; just ask Buddy Teevens and Charlie Weis. But apparently Steve Sarkisian is willing to give it a shot, as ESPN and the Seattle Times are both reporting that his ascension to the head coaching position with th...
At Illinois, No Jock Left Behind
Here is stately Wayne Manor The Irwin Academic Services Center at the University of Illinois. Here, Illini students can use computer labs and classrooms, schedule sessions with tutors and special counselors, and even relax in oversize leather chairs and gaze at expensive oriental rugs. Wait … you’re...
This UFL Logo Is Easy To Swallow, But Hard To Take In
Remember that Communications 101 class you took where you'd spend hours inspecting the Land O Lakes package with a magnifying glass to search for penis-shaped trees? That was fun. But thankfully the United Football League has taken a less than subtle approach with its subliminal message. Yes, it ver...
