Michigan State Fans Taunted Ohio State QB Braxton Miller With "He's A Pussy" After Miller Injured By Late Hit
Today's ESPN/ABC spotlight game (and the site of this morning's College GameDay) is a Big Ten matchup between visiting Ohio State and host Michigan State, and the game turned ugly early.

Either Mark May Or Lou Holtz Burped Loudly On ESPN's College Football Halftime Show
Caught off guard when they threw it back to the studio during ESPN's halftime report, somebody burped loudly and directly into their microphone. We're thinking it probably wasn't Rece Davis, because he was getting ready to talk and seems to transition pretty well. So it could either be Mark May or ...
Bill Belichick No Longer Owns A Park Slope Brownstone; Bill Belichick Owned A Park Slope Browstone
Ah, Park Slope: where diligently hip mothers push extravagant strollers into studiously low-key coffee shops, where you're nobody if you don't get your kale at the most organic of the four farmer's markets on your block, where you retire at 45 after your loosely-defined art collective produces no a...

Our game of the morning is probably Baylor at West Virginia, though our shame expert (aren't we all, in some sense, shame experts?) told us to be on the lookout for a potential "DOUBLE trap game" in the N.C.

Washington upset the eighth-ranked Stanford Cardinal 17-13 last night in Seattle, leading to a field-rushing and a top moment in the still-evolving career of Steve Sarkisian.

Why Are The Scab Refs Screwing Up Illegal-Contact Penalties?
The replacement officials made many mistakes over the weekend, some of such great consequence that they inspired incredible anger, others bad enough only to prompt a very loud "bullshit" chant. But they've all been bad. Instead of focusing on one specific mistake, or all the mistakes as a whole, tho...

Some College In Minnesota Painted Its Midfield Logo On The Wrong Yard Line
The University of Minnesota, Crookston, allows student volunteers to paint the logo on the field in advance of its homecoming game. But when the students got to working on the midfield "M" last Friday, they inadvertently skipped a step and did it before the yard markers were on the field. A mistake,...

Arkansas Coach John L. Smith Apparently Thinks The Razorbacks Play In Alabama
Another day, another something to embarrass Arkansas football coach John L. Smith. The Razorbacks have lost three in a row, Smith is broke, and here he is giving a rah-rah speech to the Little Rock Touchdown Club earlier today, only to mistake what state he's even talking about.

A Horrific Injury To The Hurricanes' Malcolm Lewis Prompted A Surprisingly Tender, Touching College Football Moment
