Hugh 3: Gators Sticking it to Cocks Early
A wacky finish to the Notre Dame-Navy game in which the Midshipman recovered two on-side kicks, used seemingly four time outs, and almost rallied to beat the Irish for a second straight year. Alas, Charlie Weis lives to see another day. In other early game finals, Ohio State and Penn State took care...
Hugh 2: I Declare A Prank War!
Since it looks like Mr. Weis is going to be keeping his job as the Leader of God's Army - thankfully, or else where would we put our fat jokes? - let's relay this little story: Adam Rose at the LA Times blog has been informed that the famed Tommy Trojan statue at USC was dowsed in blue paint last n...
Hugh 1: Should He Stay Or Should He Go?
Welcome back, friends, to your weekend edition of The Hugh! Seems like the big storyline in this week's early slate of games is whether or not Charlie Weis is going to still be employed at Notre Dame if he loses to Navy (currently tied at 7) or if he'll be another soul left jobless in this struggli...
Welcome To The House Of Chads
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject : Morning crap Why do I get the feeling that this isn't the only room in Chad Johnson's home that is full of giant portraits of himself? In a move usually reserved for Latin American dictators or...
According to Jemele Hill, Warren Sapp Deserves a Pounding for Keyshawn "Bitch" Comment
Here's an amusing little snag from Awful Announcing, featuring current "Inside the NFL" analyst Warren Sapp and budding home decorator/"NFL Live" analyst, Keyshawn Johnson. Sapp was responding to viewer questions during his "Ask Warren Anything" segment. One viewer was curious about Sapp's thoughts...
Ashley Stewart Sues Larry Johnson, Poses In Wetlands Area
As if Larry Johnson didn't have enough problems — he's returning to active duty this Sunday for the tragic factory fire that is the Kansas City Chiefs — now he's being sued. Johnson allegedly spit on this woman, Ashley Stewart, during an altercation in a Kansas City nightclub last month, so she's ta...
Hugh 4: More Big'uns Coming Your Way
While we're enjoying the 3:30 games and rubbing the bedsores from laying in front of the TV for another Saturday (or is it lying? Where's Ufford when you need him?), don't forget about the two quasi-colossal games in the 8:00 hole. The No. 2 Texas Tech-No. 8 Oklahoma State game will be liveblogged h...
Hugh 3: Bama Rolls Into The Bayou
So after watching Georgia pull out a win against Kentucky and the unheralded Cowboys of Wyoming giddyup into Knoxville and knock off the Vols (more on that later), it's time for the big 3:30 game. Alabama scored early on a John Parker Wilson keeper, but LSU has answered with two scores of their own...
Hugh's Your Illusion 2: Richt's Trip To Lexington More Eventful Than Planned
So this Georgia - Kentucky game has been nipple-hardeningly amazing. It's just back-and-forth awesomeness with scoring abound. And now Georgia just turned the ball over back to Kentucky, and it's becoming more and more likely that Georgia might be taking home another loss in their disappointing seas...
Hugh 1: 'Welcome Back Nick! Now Die! DIE!'
While Ohio State, Texas and all their rowdy friends are taking care of business, it's a good time to sneak a peek at one of our big 3:30 games, specifically Nick Saban's return to Baton Rouge as Alabama defends its No. 1 ranking against LSU. It's always a fun story when a head coach returning to his...
College Football Preview: John Parker Wilson's Cell Phone Belongs to the Cajuns
Alabama's John Parker Wilson is the latest SEC player attempting to overcome the LSU fans snagging his cell phone number and listing it everywhere on the internets. Confounding Cajuns. You'll recall that earlier this season Knowshon Moreno and A.J. Green were the victims. They joined Tim Tebow from...
Will John Daly's Drunken Antics Result in His Beloved Hooters Firing Him?
Last week, John Daly denied initial reports that he had drank himself into a catatonic state at a local Hooters in North Carolina, using the excuse that "he sleeps with his eyes open" and a worried bus driver merely overreacted. After his time in the drunk tank, Daly spoke with Golf.com about the in...
Gimme The Damn Drapes!
Keyshawn Johnson's post-NFL career as an ESPN analyst has established him as a compelling on-air personality. Television producers have noticed, and now the loudmouth former receiver with the sartorial flair is taking his eye for interior design to the people — and basic cable. In one of the wackies...
And in Just a Few Hours We'll Find Out If There Is An College Football Playoff In Our Future....
Everybody knows what today is. The importance of it, what's at stake, all that. There's no way to avoid it. Whoever walks away with the most colored areas from the CNN map tonight, it'll be a good thing. Tomorrow we'll at least be able to look forward to something different in 2009. Those who did vo...
Election Night: An Excuse To Stay Up Past 8:30
Well, it's here. When I was a kid, Election Night was one of the few nights of the year I was allowed to stay up past 8:30. (Seriously, my bedtime was 8:30 until I was a freshman in high school. And you wonder why I still wet the bed.) I never knew who any of the candidates were, or even what the "...
John Daly Sleeps With His Eyes Open Both Literally and Metaphorically
Professional golfer/wing inhaler John Daly has finally sobered up enough to speak about his bizarre overnight jail stay from last weekend, after he was allegedly picked up drunk at a North Carolina Hooters restaurant. Daly is frustrated by this latest public spectacle, and feels particularly misunde...
Hugh 4: High-Fives All Around
Well folks, you did it. We put out the call for action, and you did not disappoint. (Unlike Georgia and Florida State, who are currently getting smacked around. End obligatory update.) In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear the cry of joy from the young Iowan boy. And the gasp of horror escap...
Hugh 3: This Thing On?
Well those games were a great big ball of excitement, weren't they? Michigan State amazingly won despite their receivers dropping a combined 3,878 passes, Northwestern got their victory with a late interception return, and Purdue outlasted Michigan 48-42. In fact, there was so much going on that al...
Hugh 2: Dee-Fence?
Nothing quite like a Saturday morning/afternoon featuring a bunch of bruising Big Ten matchups, games that are settled by whoever happens to get into field goal range first because the stifling blood-lusting defenses hold the prissy, pansy offenses to only a handful of yards all day. Just kidding, ...
