We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for tonight's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. BCS with Brad Edwards: Our latest foray into the Pacific Northwest was not unlike an extended stay at the Overlook Hotel, wouldn't you say? — USC fan. • 2 p.m. MLB with Buster Olney: Your time is through, Buster. Make your fina...
We Have Sought Bliss, And We Have Found It
We know. We know it wasn't the most exciting World Series for everyone to watch. It was sloppy, it was short, it was interrupted by a rainout, it had no Pujols-off-Lidge or Roberts-stealing-second moments. If you were anything other than a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, it was anything but a memo...

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...
About Last Night...
• College Football: Tennessee 31, South Carolina 21. And Phil Fulmer is unwilling to take a shot at Steve Spurrier afterwards. Weak. • NHL: Thrashers 5, Sabres 4. A win would've gotten the Sabres off to the best start in NHL history. • College Football: Texas 35, Texas Tech 31. Oh good, more controv...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
The final Hugh Johnson update of the day is only to tell you that there will be no final Hugh Johnson update of the day. My power was knocked out by a tree that came down in the midst of a freezing rain storm, causing me to lose all your pearls of deviant wisdom. I am really, really sorry about that...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Texas @ Texas Tech. Said Texas center Lyle Sendlein of the atmosphere in Lubbock, "You get things thrown at you that you never thought could sail through the air." In that case, I want to see a fire extinguisher. 7:00, TBS. • MLS: Chicago Fire @ New England Revolution. Ah, screw ...
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:...
About Last Night...
• MLB World Series: Cardinals 4, Tigers 2. This will likely not be the last mention of this here on Deadspin. • College Football: Tulsa 30, UTEP 20. I think UTEP, I think two-step, I think Tim Hardaway. Or, Mike Price and filthy whores. Either way, I win. • NBA Preseason: Nets 138, Knicks 121. It mi...
Cardinals. World Series Champions. Holy Crap.
This, friends, pretty much sums it up. This was David Eckstein, and this was us. This is us now, actually....
The Last Night At Busch, One Way Or The Other
There's still a possibility of rain, so we might not have a game until tomorrow. But if there IS a game tonight — and the odds are in favor of it — we highly encourage you to hang out here, as you have the other games of the World Series, to rather brilliant effect, if we may say so. More than 1,000...
