Do Not Taunt West Virginia Fans
We always feel bad for college journalists who stumble across shitstorms; when we worked for our college newspaper, we just wanted to type a bit and then get out in time to drink until dawn. We wanted no trouble....
New Mexico Packs Some Serious Heat
We've received a lot of amusing PhotoShop montages involving former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus "New Mexico" Vick, but, for some reason, we think this is our favorite one....
Vince Young's NFL Ready Throwing Motion
We were sent this a while ago, and it's possible you've already seen it, but we couldn't figure out how to post animated GIFs back then, mainly because we're morons....
New Mexico's Teenage Tough Love
Well, it's almost noon, and hey: Marcus "New Mexico" Vick hasn't gotten arrested yet today. Good for him!...
New Mexico's Busy Fortnight
Apparently, Marcus "New Mexico" Vick thinks he's a rock star ... or Phil Spector....
Joe Paterno's Slip Of Tongue (Ugh)
It's a nice time to know Penn State coach Joe Paterno ... unless you're a woman, says the National Organization of Women. The organization has taken issue with Paterno's comments about Florida State linebacker A.J. Nicholson, who was accused of rape in a Florida hotel room. Here's what JoePa said:...
Marcus Vick Experience Shut Down For Safety Reasons
I share the view held by the Wizard of Odds that former Virginia Tech QB Marcus Vick's lack of remorse, or even any kind of acknowledgement of wrongdoing, is a little troubling. "It's not a big deal," he says....
Blogdome: Rose Bowl Edition
What they're saying on the Texas and USC blogs, the morning after ... • Burnt Orange Nation. "We're Number One! I embraced total strangers tonight the way I do my own family, and I came very close to crying tears of joy." • IndieWIRE SXSW. "Horns Win! The city of Austin is alive tonight." • Longho...
Rose Bowl: The Morning After

National "Title" Pants Party: Longhorns Vs. Trojans
It so rarely happens that even though we obviously need a playoff, it's pretty much impossible not to get excited about tonight's Rose Bowl BCS "title" game between Southern California and Texas. (We still hope the first quarter goes like this.) Hell, it's so exciting even the President was consi...
Are The Buckeyes In Trouble Again?
We don't want to overstep our bounds here — no, really — but we've been hearing a pretty persistant rumor in recent days concerning the Ohio State football program. If the rumors are true, be on the lookout for potential sanctions against the Buckeyes, with the offenses ranging from taking tests f...
Maurice Clarett's Experienced Defense Team
Today's Maurice Clarett update: The "troubled" — that is to say, "known for pretty much everything other than being a football player — posted a $50,000 bond to be released after his charges of aggravated robbery. We'll put aside for a moment how a guy with little discernible income over the last ...
Some 1 A.M. Bowl Goodness
We're never reminded more of just how old we're getting than when we watch college freshmen play sports. Penn State kicker Kevin Kelly, we swear, has to be lying on his birth certificate; there's no way he's older than 12. The poor kid finally erased the chances he'd be a Buckner-type goat by fina...
Orange Bowl: A Contrast In Coaches
Everyone's making a huge deal about the coaching legends Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden facing off in the Orange Bowl tonight. They're the two winningest coaches in Division I-A history, and they're both still going strong. It's nice when old people do well....
Mexico Family Causing All Kinds Of Trouble
Much sturm und drang today concerning Little Mexico, Marcus Vick's, pretty blatant dick move during the Gator Bowl yesterday, pounding the left knee of Louisville's Elvis Dumervil. (You can see the video here.)...
Laura Quinn Gives Us A Fiesta Of Pain
Thoughts while watching about three hundred shots of Brady Quinn's sister, Laura, during the Fiesta Bowl last night: 1. We kind of miss that TV show, Xena, Warrior Princess. 2. We thought A.J. Hawk was some sort of famous skateboarder. Apparently we're confused. 3. Brent Musberger is still al...
The Weird Turns Of Maurice Clarett
We've been trying to get our minds around this whole Maurice Clarett story since we heard about it, but it's almost too confusing for us to keep up with. To recap:...

Florida State linebacker A.J. Nicholson — linebacker prospect "No. 5B" on Mel Kiper's draft ratings — has been accused of rape. According to the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinal, Nicholson is accused of raping a "19-year-old acquaintence" at a Broward hotel. He has been suspended by coach Bobby Bowden ...
