Charlie Weis Is In Your (Very) Extended Network
If you're only going to read one thing today, this is it: Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis' "MySpace" page. It's gold, Jerry! Gold!...
Maj's Bets O' The Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like Will and black fabric. Which is why I asked the Paul to my Mary, Unsilent Majority, to share more of his college football gambling wisdom with us here today. Obvious disclaimer: this shit could be wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. But hey, good luck! Ta...
Seemingly, No One Drinks In Wisconsin
Nothing's more fun than college football in the fall. Tailgating, commiserating with friends, cheering on the local team, general camaraderie all around. And, of course, drinking: What's football without a cold brewski or two beforehand. It clears the lungs. Clearly, the folks in Madison understand ...
It's Open Season On Charlie Weis
The Charlie Weis / Notre Dame pile-on continues, gloriously. Some of it is justified, like criticism of how the school has handled the Demetrius Jones situation. (They're making him pay for school at Northern Illinois this year by not releasing him from his scholarship.) And some of it is really jus...
And With One Torch, A Child's Dreams Are Lost
Nothing's funnier than hearing a child scream "Nooooooo!" This guy's gonna make a great quarterback's dad someday....
Carr Surely Has Lots To Contribute In This Friendship
We're still a little bewildered by the fact that Russell Crowe was on the sidelines for Michigan's win over Notre Dame on Saturday. We don't understand why he cares so much about American collegiate football, first off, but mostly ... this guy is really friends with Lloyd Carr?...
Some Thirsty Folks In Central Florida
A key for fans at any college football game is to stay properly hydrated. It's not like they sell beer there or anything, which means you have to sneak in a flask, and when you're drinking that much absinthe, you're gonna need some water. Unfortunately, the new Central Florida stadium forgot about t...
Woe To The Eagles Fans (And Those Who Sit Near Them)
The pregame festivities might have been more exciting than the actual game, but, nevertheless, we're gonna do our best to keep our distance from Eagles fans for the next couple of days....
Your Chance To See Philly Fans In Prime Time
A night game in Philadelphia always seems, to us, like asking for trouble. Even if fans actually do go to work today, if they leave at 5 p.m., they're gonna have enough time to really mess some matters up. Or, you know, paint their bodies....
Rob Stone Knows How To Liven Up A Broadcast
All told, we find this rather clever — and, to be honest, we've been enjoying the Women's World Cup considerably more than we would enjoy a Troy-Oklahoma State game — and we pretty much enjoy everything Stone does. (We had no idea sideline reporters could be funny; isn't that against the rules?) Tho...
Here's Your Playoff System (Sort Of)
Dan Shanoff writes a weekly college football column for Deadspin. Email him to let him know what you think....
Roll Over And Die Like A Champion
We're not sure if we can contribute that much more to the pile-on that has become discussion of the 2007 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and coach Charlie Weis ... but we're gonna try....
Tom Brady, LaDainian Tomlinson, And You!
Well, another weekend, another twenty to thirty televised football games. Whew. What a weekend. I've never eaten so much beef jerky in my life! (I really need to take up smoking.) But hey, we're not done yet. No, that would be healthy....
Saturday Night Football Live From Somewhere
I have no idea how you guys watch all of this college football action AND the NFL. Seriously. My retinas are shot and my back is effin' killing me. And it's only Saturday! Gah! You guys must be machines! (Well, that, or really, really fat.)...
The Day The Poon Died ...
I don't wish to put a damper on your college football fun, but I have very bad news. So, please, stop what you're doing for a second, sit down, and maybe chug some hard liquor. SEC Poon is dead. (I'm sorry.)...
My Urban Dictionary Says This Is Funny ...
Mr. Irrelevant, Jamie Mottram, forwarded me this gem at 8:30 am this morning. Yes, eight-thirty. Jamie Mottram was so damn excited to show me a photo of two WV Mountaineer defensive ends forming the largest dingleberry in the world that he couldn't even sleep. No wonder this guy is successful....
Maj's Parlay O' The Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like campfires and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Which is why I asked the Selleck to my Guttenberg, Unsilent Majority, to share some more of his valuable college football gambling wisdom with us today. Dumb disclaimer: the following "wisdom" could be wrong. The...
