Oregon Uniforms Getting Downright Silly
Presenting the only college football jersey that Dick Cheney might try to shoot. Oregon has played 11 games this season and has used 12 different uniform color combinations (I think they changed at halftime during the USC game). This is beginning to confuse even their most ardent supporters. This fe...
Didn't I See This In A David Lynch Movie?
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap. No one's quite sure what's going on in the stands at Auburn, or on the field, for that matter. We presented this photo on Sunday, but the link was buried, and we wanted to make sur...
When Blaming Your Assistant Coaches For Your Own Failures Goes Wrong
Auburn's struggles on the offensive side of the ball this season have been well-documented, but then head coach fired offensive coordinator Tony Franklin and everyone seemed to shut up about it. And this happened despite the fact that Auburn (5-6, 2-5 in the SEC) still can't move the ball when they ...
Obama: 'I'm Going To Throw My Weight Around' To Get A Playoff
I was really enjoying that four-day stretch where I could leave my TV tuned to sports and not have to hear about Barack Obama. That went down the tubes last night when SportsCenter covered the president-elect's appearance on 60 Minutes, which airs tonight. In his interview with CBS's Steve Croft, Ba...
Hugh 4: The Mediocre ACC Has a Message for You
Not a ton of excitement in the 3:30 games. Perhaps I should be watching the Mormons of BYU battle Air Force? Or is all the action in the battle for the Almighty Wooden Potato in the storied Boise State-Idaho rivalry? The scene in Maryland is rather boring, partially due to the horrible conditions. C...
Hugh 3: Gators Sticking it to Cocks Early
A wacky finish to the Notre Dame-Navy game in which the Midshipman recovered two on-side kicks, used seemingly four time outs, and almost rallied to beat the Irish for a second straight year. Alas, Charlie Weis lives to see another day. In other early game finals, Ohio State and Penn State took care...
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. The Seminole fan blog I Bleed Garnet and Gold has what is reported to be an eyewitness account of the procee...
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. Miami has won 4 in a row (3 of them ACC games) and hasn't played since November 1 when they won an overtime game at Virginia. Since that time, as evidenced by the ab...
Identity Of Our Bathroom Stall Girl Revealed
Even though the incident in question evidently occurred in 2004, former University of Florida student Leah Logue is just now becoming an intertubes superstar. Here she is, courtesy of Facebook friend and Deadspin reader The Bullsaw. Hard to believe she got plastered and ran headlong into a bathroom ...
Florida State Prepares For Boston College... By Thumping Some Black Frat Boys?
Details are still sketchy at this point, but apparently there was a little brouhaha on the campus of Florida State University yesterday and we don't want to alarm you ... but the football team may have been involved. Campus police say about ten individuals were involved (including at least two women...
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...
You Got Served
When it comes to high school sports, I'd much rather be on the football field in pads where it's safe, rather than face the sneaky, vicious wrath of the cheerleaders. It happened in Texas (of course), where members of an El Paso high school cheerleading squad baked up a batch of cupcakes for cheerle...
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...
There's No Recession For Vicious Youth Football Hits
There seems to be an alarming number of youth football players getting flat out owned these days. Or maybe there's just an alarming number of parents who document their child's every move and then upload their humiliation to YouTube. Either way, undersized children are getting absolutely destroyed ...
This Is Not A Place Either Of Us Want To Be, And For That I Am Sorry
Daulerio asked me to describe my experience at the Rick's Cabaret on Monday night. This is probably the best I can do. Strip clubs are not about decadence, or fantasy, or even commerce. They are, at their core, about interaction. The dance is not delicate, or disguised. This is not a place where som...
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...
There Are More Favres Around Than You Think, America
Yes, Dylan Favre here, a junior at St. Stanislaus High in Mississippi, is related to Brett Favre. He's a nephew, and evidently pretty good, for his size. Favre the Lesser set the state's single-season record for TD passes at 43 last week in his team's regular-season finale, throwing for five scores ...
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...
