Reports Indicate Les Miles Reports Contradict Other Les Miles Reports - A Special Report
There was a really cool fake punt in the Tulsa-UCF game, because Tulsa's quarterback was lined up at punter. Obvious fake, right? Well, he's actually averaging 40 yards a punt, which is better than their main punter. He also installed the goalposts before the game, and sometimes mans the down marker...

MAC Championship Breaks Sound Barrier
The quantity of games is light, which is compensated with a hint of quality. Central Michigan leads Miami 7-0 for the MAC championship, Central Florida is up 10-7 on Tulsa for the C-USA crown, and Army-Navy is scoreless. And for a I-AA update, Appalachian State leads Eastern Washington 7-0. Virginia...

Look, you knew going into this that Hugh II: And The Nedyssey Continues had to end sometime. We're just not right for each other. It's not you, it's me. But hey, we had our fun! And I'll never forget you. It's the final week of the Hugh Johnson Project, so bring your best college football tidbits to...

Hugh II: Powder & Belch
I see Powder is an undergrad at UConn. Do you think he tries to pass it off as school spirit body paint at frat parties, too? — Tuffy...

Hugh II: Taste (In Women) Cannot Be Controlled By Law
ESPN is showing inspirational quotes from Thomas Jefferson every time Virginia is in a pinch in deference to the school's founder. Man, I hope they have a quote loaded when they show the cheerleaders. — Tuffy...

Hugh II: Sexy Pilgrims!
OK, I can handle watching Miami. I can handle Pam Ward. But I can't fucking handle ESPN's team introductions by pilgrims! Really? Is that necessary? (Though Pilgrim Elaine was kinda hot.) — Yunibomber...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
I don't know if this qualifies for today's Hugh, but during last night's Nevada-Hawaii game, I couldn't control my laughter everytime the color guy said "WAC Offensive Player of the Week." -efelde84 (screen grab via FanIQ)...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The Ref for the OSU-Mich. game looks like Steve Martin, and now I can't stop thinking how much I want Steve Martin to ref a game. -lintottr...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
Let's all give it up to Mac G at Big Ten Poon for singlehandedly making OSU/Michigan slightly less than intolerable. The game still sucks, but at least we've got something to look at while sit idly by waiting for some good games to be beamed onto our televisions. Without further ado, here's the Hugh...

New New New World Order ...
Just got done watching the NC State/ Carolina game, and State is so overkill with the Wolfpack thing it's ridiculous. If they don't incorporate Kevin Nash, Sting, Scott Steiner, Randy Savage, and Lex Luger into a pre-game entrance it'll be a shame. — pics1169...

Once Upon A Time In A Buffalo Wild Wings
So I go to Buffalo Wild Wings with a couple buddies to watch our Spartans beat Purdue and some Iowa bitch starts giving us some static about changing the channel. Fuck you, Iowa bitch, I said. — kycdxx (Ed. Hahahaha...)...

What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
I'm busy watching "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" on IFC. For those of you in the dark, it's a kick-ass 2002 documentary about the Funk Brothers, an unheralded group of Detroit musicians who are basically the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. It's fantastic. But, hey, let's p...


Let's Get This Sparty Started
Michigan State's fervor in this game against Michigan seemed to have died last night in that basketball loss to Grand Valley State. The Wolverines are up early in this one 14-3. It's as if something John L. Smith said last year finally sank in with the MSU players this afternoon....

Kansas Builds A Rather Portly Lead
It seems like the majority of the readers — at least those with Instant Message accounts — are taking notice of Kansas ripping through Nebraska 48-24 at halftime. Virginia and Wake Forest are also trying to make the game interesting, but failing, as the WF Deacons lead 16-10....

Ducks Commence Tailgate Over 12 Hours Before Gametime
Not everyone can watch the Ohio State-Wisconsin game, so it pains me to tell you all that it's actually quite a good game. Wisconsin had an amazing fake punt, where No. 94 threw to No. 97, quite possibly the longest offensive play in Wisconsin history where two players with 90-something jerseys touc...


Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
As a UConn grad, I'm not sure what I'm prouder of: being up 16-0 on USF, or the cheerleaders in white outfits not protecting themselves from the rain. -Tom Feely...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
It's another glorious Saturday of football action all over America. Of course I'm sitting here following the games online and collecting your instant messages while I watch the Premier League on my DVR. Things sure do sound thrilling, so I'll be sure to catch the second halves of the early games (as...
