The Vols Aren't Taking It Well
When I saw that three Tennessee football players had been arrested, I just assumed that one of them was Pac Man Jones. It wasn't the Titans, though, it was the Volunteers, who figure if they can't beat some ass on the field, they should beat some ass in the club....
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: One Less One Loss Team
• (13) LSU 28, (8) Tennessee 24. Despite its disappointing lack of Cooter, the biggest game of the day was also probably the best. LSU beat Tennessee by a score of 28-24 behind a JaMarcus Russell touchdown pass to Early Doucet that I don't believe was intended for Early Doucet. If so, that'd make ...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Other than the Michigan close call against Ball State and Joe Paterno's osteoporosis, it hasn't been that eventful of a day in college football. The biggest game of the day, at least in terms of national rankings, is happening on CBS right now: Tennessee leads LSU 10-7 very early in the third quarte...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
LSU just took a 7-0 lead over Tennessee in the only moderately interesting game of the day. Jamarcus Russell hit Craig Davis for a 23-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Joe Paterno and his bionic leg were not able to overcome Wisconsin, losing 13-3. Notre Dame is mauling North Carolina, wh...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Penn State head coach Joe Paterno was plowed into by one of his own players on the sidelines, and he suffered some kind of a leg injury. It's never a good thing to see an old man hurt, but the upside is that it's inspired some of you....
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
South Florida leads Tyler Palko and Pitt 14-3 at the half, behind the strength of two fake punts, and a quarterback named Grothe that might be the best college or professional quarterback in all of Southern Florida. Florida State is hammering Virginia, 17-0 in a battle of two of the many ACC teams t...
ESPNU May Have An Opening For This Guy
Before the Hugh Johnson madness gets underway in a bit, I thought we could go back to last week and revisit a couple of themes from last week: Temple's win over Bowling Green, and inappropriate things said by people in the media. Both are covered by this fellow (at about the 50-second mark, but if y...
Suddenly, Louisville Football Is Important
It's rare in something as storied as college football that you have a moment that is obviously the most important moment in a school's football history, but that's what happened in Louisville last night, with the Cardinals beating West Virginia 44-34 and putting them on a track to play in the Fies...
Look, An Important Weekday College Football Game!
We don't often get to write about important college football games here — that's usually MJD's job on the weekends — but we have a rare one tonight: A Thursday game between two undefeated teams that could very well decide who plays in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS "Championship" on January 8. (January...
Isn't It True, Mr. Paterno??!!
If you've been hanging out at Every Day Should Be Saturday at all recently, you've seen some of their great political attack ads between conferences; the above is the SEC going after the Big East, including a still from The Age Of Innocence. Clay Travis at CBS Sportsline looks at some potentially gr...
EPSNU "Gay" Announcer Not Happy
Honestly, we were planning on laying off all the gay content for a bit (we can tell how riled up it gets you), but this just came in over the wire:...
It's An Intriguing Night In Prince Country
Kind of a quietly fascinating game tonight on "Monday Night Football:" The Patriots, who keep winning even though no one's particularly impressed by them, travel to face the Vikings, who have attempted to fix their sex boat-related woes by hiring a bald mustached man who appears to have never had se...
Perhaps The Receiver Just Didn't Want To Be Gay
This is my new favorite awkward silence of all time. All that's audible is vacant crowd noise, but if you listen hard enough, you can hear the play-by-play guy thinking, "Well, what the hell am I supposed to say now?" and the other guy, ESPNU's Brian Kinchen, thinking, "Uh oh."...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Beavers Contain Trojans
• Oregon State 33, (3) USC 31. I was almost certain that Oregon State would blow it, giving us a chance to replicate one of the all-time great headlines in sports history. But the Beavers held firm and denied USC's attempt to come back from a 30-10 deficit with about 20 minutes to play. Oregon State...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
And Bowling Green is the school that gives Temple its first win of the season. Man, I'd hate to be that one Deadspin commenter with the BG avatar. - Suss...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
This is a fairly safe afternoon to recover from a hangover. All you need is someone to wake you up in time to watch the World's Largest Cocktail...right, we're not calling it that, but either way, get up by the time Florida v. Georgia is on and tie it on all over again. - C...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I didn't go to sleep tonight playing online poker and am down $350. So I decided to put $350 on Michigan State over Indiana through Bodog. I am not a relaxed camper right now. - Dynamic Hispanic...
Workin' The Merkin
I couldn't wait for the first Hugh Johnson Update to get this up. What you see above, courtesty of Longhorn Nation, is a sign that accuses Lee Corso of wearing a "merkin." A merkin, for the uninitiated, is... well, I'll let Wikipedia explain:...
Who's Sorry Now?
It's been quite a year so far for youth football, hasn't it? Spectators being mistaken for terrorists, police officers tasering rambunctious fans ... one concerned parent even pulled a gun on a coach. Compared to that, the following may not seem like much, except for the heartfelt, tearful apologi...
Brady Quinn, Friend To The Gays, Or Just Idol?
In the newest issue of Interview magazine, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, handsome man of leisure, spreads 'em and smiles big in a big photo feature. Brady looks all playful and chiseled and Notre Dame-y, we guess. You might notice, when you look at the pictures, that Brady is shot rather, oh, ...
