Dead Schembechlers: Classy or Pussies?
From their website: The Dead Schembechlers will now be know as...The Bastard Sons of Woody!!!

You the Man Now, Blog!
Like everyone else who's ever tinkered with these evil internets, my testicles tingled a bit when Brent Musberger, Bob Davie, and Kirk Herbstreit spent a good two minutes discussing the crazy bloggers who were going to start calling for Lloyd Carr's ouster if he lost to USC. It was one of those na...
Searching For Bobby Knight
I can think of no better way to mark Bobby Knight's 880th coaching victory than with the photo above — with coach looking slightly deranged, grabbing players' necks, and no doubt ready to say something untoward into a microphone. What to say about Bob Knight that you haven't already heard? Here's ...
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for tonight's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. The Morning Buzz: What kind of a sick play on words is this? • 1 p.m. NFL with Matt Williamson: Any new head coaching openings in the past five minutes? • 4 p.m. NCAA MBB w/Doug Gottlieb: We don't mean to start anything, but ...
It's The Arizona Cardinals Plane! Perfectly Safe! All Aboard, Everyone!
Wouldn't it be slightly hilarious if Denny Green shows up at the Phoenix airport today, and this is the only plane out? Since Mr. Leitch is still on vacation, it's up to us to make sense of this news release from our new friends at US Airways....
Bowl Roundup: Clearly, The Runner's Knee Was Down
Just as one should never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, one should also never propose after scoring the winning two-point conversion in the Fiesta Bowl. That's Boise State tailback Ian Johnson popping the question to his girlfriend, Chrissy Popadics, moments after the Broncos had beaten ...

Good Morning: Put the Lotion in the Baskett
Hello again. So, sorry for the depressing update yesterday. New Year's Day is an official "holiday" for Deadspin, but I felt like the Darrent Williams thing shoud've been something that was posted about to facilitate discussion to those of you not stuck at home with roaring case of post-New Year's...
Let Brett Favre Wisk You Into The New Year
Unless something remarkable happens, like Bill Parcells deciding to publicly hang himself in Times Square tonight, this will likely be the last Deadspin post of 2006. What a disappointment. I was hoping it would be a better one....

Alabama Just Won't Give Up On The Nick Saban Thing
Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban could be the recipient of a $40 million offer, including $7 million in a signing bonus, from Alabama. That's what the Miami Herald was reporting last night on their website. The offer would make him the highest-paid college coach in the history of the world, an...
The Bodily Functions Of Bryant Gumbel
What better way to spend New Years than trying to figure out if it was really Bryant Gumbel that you heard belching during last night's Redskins/Giants game? At a couple of points during the broadcast, some miscellaneous belches were heard coming from the booth. Pro Football Talk (those guys are tho...
The College Hoops Compendium: It's Bad News When Joakim Noah Gives You The Clap
• (3) Florida 75, UAB 70. According to the AP article, Florida won because Joakim Noah decided to clap and yell, "Let's Go!" on his way out of a huddle. That's a breathtaking maneuver, and hopefully, other coaches from around the country can make their way to Gainesville this offseason to study it...
About Last Night...
• NFL: New York Giants 34, Washington Redskins 28. One of the finer performances you'll ever see from an 8-8 team. • College Basketball: Nevada 82, Gonzaga 74. You know, Gonzaga's not nearly as charming anymore. • College Football: Georgia 31, Virginia Tech 24. Man, those Bulldogs seemed awfully pro...
As The Mess Begins To Unfold...
If the Giants lose tonight, tomorrow's NFL day gets a lot more interesting and confusing. If they win tonight, a playoff spot is theirs, most likely. If they lose, though, there are four other teams, all of them terrible, that could claim the spot tomorrow. I don't care much about either of these te...

How Many Of Them Could Actually Defeine 'Peregrine'?
The fall semester was not kind to the NAIA Purdue-Calumet Peregrines. When grades came in, over half the team was declared academically ineligible, and the Peregrines canceled the rest of their season. Sixteen games will not be played, and there will also be no postseason tournament....

Tiger Woods Hits It Like A Champ
Deviant perversion Romance is in the air today here on Deadspin, as women that I find attractive keep doing things that make them less attractive. First, Hingis goes and gets engaged... and now, Elin Nordegren has gotten herself impregnated. Tiger is presumably the father, but I wouldn't rule out ...
