Prep Football Star Shoots Himself During Traffic Stop
Billey Joe Johnson, a 17-year-old high school running back from Mississippi, died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound during a routine traffic stop yesterday. The junior tailback from George County High School was one of the top-rated prospects in the country and reportedly had scholarship offers fro...
HUGH 2: Why Take The Ball At The 40 When I Can Field It Right Now?
Florida 17, Alabama 10, 2nd Quarter. Javier Arenas just made the dumbest play I've ever seen a college football player ever make. After the Gators connected on a field goal to tie the score at 10 apiece, Florida kicked off to Arenas. The kick was about to go out of bounds UNTIL ARENAS FIELDED THE D...
Hugh 3: Hugh Side of the Force
So this happened. Apparently, the victor receives the spoils of band instruments when Kansas and Missouri clash. We're pretty sure this doesn't compensate fully for Bleeding Kansas, but it just might make up for Leftoverture....
Hugh 2: You Wouldn't Like Hugh When He's Angry
Your finals at this moment: Va Tech 17, Va Techless 14; Cincy 30, Syracuse 10; Clemson 31, South Carolina 14; NC State 38, Miami 28. The fights for Georgia and Kansas City continue to tighten with 9ish minutes left. Also, no one's resigned in the last hour or so, despite all the screaming we've hear...
Hugh 1: Croom'd!
First, news: Sylvester Croom has resigned as Mississippi State head coach. The leading candidate for the position is... Sarah Palin? Silver, stop messing with us! And now your local angry young men in spandex......
Greetings, Spinheads
Happy day after Thanksgiving. Today is gonna be looser than usual, given both the tech issues and that the vast majority of you are out shopping, or hungover, or getting ready for high school reunions. We'll cover some stuff, we'll ignore a lot of stuff, and have some fun being buddy, buddy, buddy a...
Hugh Johnson Feels Right At Home In Beaver Stadium
Penn State needs to secure a home win this afternoon against Michigan State, and through one and a half quarters things couldn't be going much better. The Nittany Lions have built up a 14-0 lead over the Spartan. Penn State is getting great performances out of quarterback Daryll Clark,who has throw...
Hugh Is Impressed With What He Sees From the 'Eers
West Virginia, led by the fleet-footed Pat White, is having a field day on the ground in Louisville. Energized by a goaline stand to end the half the Mountaineers opened things up and have now compiled well over three hundred yards on the ground. White is leading the way with 199 yards and three to...
Hugh Aren't What You Used to Be
This interesting little piece of body comes from Rate My Tattoos (via FanIQ) and it's probably a pretty good representation of today's rivalry game. Ohio State is dominating Michigan to absolutely nobody's surprise behind a 59 yard Beanie Wells touchdown run and a 53 yard touchdown catch from Brian ...
Is Jimmie Johnson's Third Straight Cup THAT Big A Deal?
ESPN is really trumpeting the impending NASCAR Sprint Cup championship of Jimmie Johnson. Jimmie has racked up so many points before this final race that all he has to do is keep his blood-alcohol level below a .15 and he'll win his third straight Cup. But, and I'm asking sincerely, how big a deal i...
Hugh 4: The Mediocre ACC Has a Message for You
Not a ton of excitement in the 3:30 games. Perhaps I should be watching the Mormons of BYU battle Air Force? Or is all the action in the battle for the Almighty Wooden Potato in the storied Boise State-Idaho rivalry? The scene in Maryland is rather boring, partially due to the horrible conditions. C...
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?
