As The Old Joke Goes, She's Out With A Womb

Seriously, Arkansas Fans Are Insane
We're not sure the true historic nature of what's going on at the University of Arkansas is being adequately appreciated.

Following College Football, One Stadium At A Time
So here's a novel concept: Some 23-year-old kid named Dave has made it his life's goal to visit all 119 Division I-A college football stadiums before he turns 30. (It is important to aim high!) It's called Project 119, and he has of course set up a site to document his travels....

What's Going On Over There With Colorado State?

They Have A Love For Nick Saban That I Can't Comprehend
Fifty-one thousand is a lot of people to show up to a college football scrimmage, and before yesterday, that was the all-time Alabama record. But you add the magnetic appeal of Nick Saban to the mix ... and all the sudden, 51,000 seems paltry. Nasty Nick drew over 92,000 people to his first spring g...

USC Will Be The Most Popular Basketball Team Among Nickelodeon Viewers
High school basketball phenom O.J. Mayo is most likely going to USC for one year and then bouncing to the NBA, and everyone thinks it's because that's what O.J. Mayo wants to do. Not so. Mayo's leaving after one year because he's afraid to suffer the indignity of losing his starting job to the artis...

Wild Times In Fayetteville
So you know last week, when all that information about Arkansas coach Houston Nutt came out thanks to a resourceful fan?

A Place Where Amaker Can Make A Difference For Underprivileged Kids
You know, it seems strange to think about now, but when Tommy Amaker was initially hired by Michigan, many people thought it was just the move to bring the Wolverines back to national prominence.

It Seems Difficult To Lose 57-1
We're kind of suckers for these types of stories: One team so much more talented than another team that it absolutely eviscerates them at a too-violent-for-small-children level. This is one of the better ones in a while; Bridgewater State (Mass.) beat Newbury 57-1....
Another Way To Assure Your Child A Life Of Misery
In an example of creative nomenclature that could only have come from Ohio, a couple has named their child "Tressel Hayes Huffines."...
