In Case It Slipped Your Mind, Ohio State Still Hates Michigan
For the record, we're pretty sure that the Pat Forde-recommended Dead Schembechlers hate the University of Michigan more than any punk band ever hated anything, and that's saying something. So if you also hate the Wolverines, you won't want to miss the Hate Michigan Rally on Nov. 17 in Columbus, hea...
It's 3 1/2 In The Pokey For Clarett
Word just came in about an hour ago: Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett has pled guilty to two felonies and will spend at least the next 3 1/2 years in prison. Jury selection was about to begin in the case, but lawyers accepted the plea of 7 1/2 years, with the first parole opportunity p...

That's Not A Fun Way To Lose
Saturday was an outstanding day for college football — particularly if you went to Syracuse, grumble grumble — but it was not so pleasant for Oklahoma fans, who, as this video rather clearly shows, were screwed out of a big road victory against Oregon. It's funny, because one wouldn't think it would...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 1 p.m. Cold Pizza's Skip Bayless: So many questions, so little rotten fruit. • 4 p.m. Fantasy Football Focus: Wasn't your last comment, "Your team sucks and you are doomed," a little harsh? • 4 p.m. Baseball With Gary Gillette: Doesn't...
Louis Gossett Jr. Is Little Help, Frankly
So, remember, back in May, when Siena basketball player Kojo Mensah was so desperate to be allowed to transfer from the school that he called on Louis Gossett Jr. for help? Gossett memorably said he could be of assistance because he "can call directly to Bryant Gumbel, Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad."...
A Day At Paul Brown Stadium
So, we are sad to report that we did not make it to Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson's dramatic interpretation of the chicken dance at Cincinnati's Oktoberfest on Saturday afternoon; we figured by the time we actually made it downtown, we'd be too far away to see anything but the tip of Johnson's ...

Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Irish Schadenfreude
• (11) Michigan 47, (2) Notre Dame 21. I don't think there's anything that the college football watching public enjoys more than seeing Notre Dame get beaten - nay, romped - in a big game. I didn't get to publish even a small fraction of the overjoyed comments that came as a result of Michigan's 4...
About Last Night...
• College Football: Texas A&M 28, Army 24. I think they should put Bobby Ross in charge of the entire U.S. military. • MLB: Padres 11, Dodgers 2. And the Pads climb to within a half game of the Dodgers. With a game in hand, too. • NASCAR: Johnny Benson wins Craftsman Truck race. Next week, he goes a...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Louisville just went up 24-7 on Miami, Michigan looks to be pretty firmly in control of things, and I'm just going to leave you to enjoy those things... if you're the type that likes to see big-name programs get humiliated. Enjoy the big games tonight, too....
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Clemson @ Florida State. 7:45, ESPN. To me, the Bowden vs. Bowden storyline never really gets old. • College Football: Florida @ Tennessee. 8:00, ESPN. I know that Steve Spurrier is elsewhere now, but it wouldn't kill him to keep talking trash on Tennessee. • College Football: Ne...
"I Get That Old Lovin' Feelin'... Every Time I See Jim Leyland"
Your pennant run is not legitimate until Jeff Daniels makes a YouTube music video about you. A musical masterpiece, it is not. A song that will get you fired up, it also is not. What it is, is... well... I don't know what the hell it is, but it probably made Jeff Daniels feel better about himself....
