Hugh 3: Updating The Late Games
No. 9 Wisconsin 19, Michigan 0. Great play in the first half from Wisconsin on fourth-and-short where the punter ran up under center and used a hard count to draw Michigan offside to keep the Badgers' drive alive. Bret Bielema might be the most creative coach in America. And Michigan still sucks. Co...
Hugh 2: UNC Steals TD Pass, Game From Miami
UNC defensive back Tremaine Goddard ripped Miami's game-winning touchdown out of the hands of Kayne Farquharson in the end zone. Farquharson had the ball (and the game) on his hands, only to have it pilfered by Goddard to save the game for the Tar Heels, 28-24. Almost as unreal as the video of a Hur...
Tim Tebow Welcomes Hugh to the Last Hugh of the Day
This version of the Hugh Johnson Project is brought to you by Washington St. coach Paul Wulff and his strict nutrition standards (via: SbB): ...
Hugh Won't Believe What NC State Did
NC State stunned #15 Eastern Carolina today. After State got the game into overtime, Andre Brown caught a ball, ran ten yards and asked his teammates to follow him ... to FREEDOM! They obliged. Other winners today so far include Clemson (which blanked South Carolina State), Boston College, Northwes...
Hugh Are the Best, and Joe Biden's Not Afraid of Ohio State
Barack Obama's right hand man isn't exactly a fan of Ohio State's football team: ...
Hugh There With the Sideburns; Yeah, HUGH!
All of the games so far today are still in their infancy (though the suspense has completely been extinguished in the contests involving Penn St., Alabama and Georgia Tech), which means we shall turn to our good friend "the dick joke" to get us through the early afternoon. But before we do that, wo...
Hugh Johnson IV: Hugh Can't Mess With the Bulldogs
South Carolina put up a tremendous fight and gave us the exciting college football we all hope for early in September. No. 2 ranked Georgia had the ball bounce their way throughout the day, literally in the end zone at one point, but SC never quit. A nice two minute drill put together by Chris Smell...
Hugh Johnson III: It's a Penis Joke, See
In order for Penn State fans to really view their dominance today of Syracuse as a moral victory, the "Nittaly Lions'" point differential must be greater than the number of years JoePa has been head ball coach in Happy Valley. In legit football action, South Carolina is giving Georgia a real fight. ...
Why Are There So Many Posts About Hugh?
Maryland is running all over the 23rd ranked Cal Bears. So far we've learned that Jim Henson is a former Terp and that Cal isn't very good. Be sure to send your brilliant observations to "The Hugh Johnson" via AIM. So a cal wide receiver just got knocked out basically and threw up his green Gatorade...
Who Are Hugh?
I'm relatively new to the Hugh. I'm meeting Mr. Johnson for the first time today and hoping he'll be gentle. Clearly, Cal has not recovered from the loss of DeSean "Obama" Jackson and finds themselves trailing Maryland early. In the annual battle of teams that traditionally suck the most, Temple and...
The Day's Final Hugh
So it turns out that finding a picture of a cheerleader near the letter H is a bit tougher than I imagined. Regardless, East Carolina is sticking it to West Virginia, Notre Dame is still as awful as you could have hoped, and Washington is sticking with BYU in an great game. So yeah, things are star...
Hugh Got What I Need
OK, so Ohio State and Michigan both one, robbing 98% of us of some serious schadenfreude, but there's more football to come! The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are taking on Central Michigan over on Fox Sports Net, so feel free to play along in the comments. There's one more edition of the HJP left...
Hugh Say He's Just a Friend
Ohio State got the lead back, but they're still struggling against Ohio so I'm sticking with today's theme. The Buckeyes are locked in a battle with their cross-state "rivals" while the real McCoy's to their Hatfield's find themselves in a similar situation over in Ann Arbor. Meanwhile Temple is ac...
Oh Baby, Hugh...
Hello, and welcome to the second week of the third year of the Hugh Johnson Project. You know it's a big day when Ohio State and Michigan are on television at the same time, even if they are on different channels. Beanie Wells is out for the Buckeyes, but Pam Ward is on the mic and Chris Spielman is...
Lou Holtz Now Dabbleth In Thaturday Thychiatry
Signal To Noise, who deserves the game ball for yesterday's incarnation of the Hugh Johnson Project, was the first to show us the latest gimmick for ESPN analyst Lou Holtz to dispense his folksy flavor of football knowledge to TV audiences each Saturday. We covered this in Spud's Blogdome, but it re...
HUGH 3: Revenge Of The Sith (Part 3)
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Project tonight. We salute our unlikely winner Northwestern, who, in all honesty, scores an upset whenever they win a game. Good job, them. As for the rest of our winners, congratulations. Your hopes of national prominence continue to live! As an aside, our ...
HUGH 3: Back In Training (Part 2)
We've enjoyed two big upsets today, and with the Clemson-Alabama game yet to come (and to be live blogged right here!), we can count on yet another Top 25 team eating the dirt before day's end. Most of you have weighed in on Virginia Tech, but there's still more football to be discussed. Get us your...
HUGH 3: Return Of The King (Part 1)
Just a little tip when you're submitting your bits of brilliance to The Hugh Johnson on AOL Instant Messenger: Phallic references will almost always get you to the front of the line. Rips on Andre Ware and Pam Ward are always welcomed. Hey, whatever you're selling, we're buying. But now it's time to...
I Hope Hugh Had The Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)
The game to watch right now is Virginia Tech and Boston College, tied at 16-16. Earlier, Central Florida pulled away from Tulsa and won 44-23, and UCF tailback Kevin Smith is close to breaking the single-season rushing record set by Barry Sanders. Navy's water invasion of Army proves successful for ...
