Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Fight On To Glendale
• USC 44, Notre Dame 24. I hate to be the one to point it out, but twice, Notre Dame has played Top 10 teams, and twice, they have lost by 20 or more. Obviously, this will not stop a BCS bowl game from happily taking them (supposedly, the Sugar Bowl is in love with the Irish), so there's not really ...

Notre Dame Has A Vague Recollection Of Playing A Good Football Team
The last time Notre Dame played a team that's currently ranked in the Top 25, they lost by nearly four touchdowns. Since then, despite feasting on teams like Stanford, North Carolina, Air Force and Army, they've got themselves back into the national championship picture. On the outside, about-to-be-...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
'Twas a pretty solid afternoon of college football, considering that the slate didn't look that promising at the beginning of the day.

The Familiar Story Of The Oppressed Crocheting Running Back With The Collapsed Lung
In a November 11th game against San Jose State, Boise State running back Ian Johnson suffered a collapsed lung and cracked ribs.

• Charlton 1-1 Everton. Look at that, Charlton didn't get their ass beat... much credit goes to new head coach Les Reed. In fact, Everton was fortunate to even get a tie with them, getting a lucky bounce off a defender's leg for their goal. Unfortunately, the one point they earned from this draw s...

Colt McCoy, Drug Pusher
It's a familiar story in sports. A young man grows up in a tough neighborhood where drugs are being pushed left and right. It's a shame when a young man becomes a victim of his environment and gives in to the temptation. Like Colt McCoy here:...
