Yes, You Could Call Him A Flutie Flake

Buffy's Sleeper Hold
We'd like to formally offer a crisp salute to Every Day Should Be Saturday for discovering the above video, which involves a slight skirmish before the Virginia Military-The Citadel football game last week. It's not every day that a cheerleader puts a cadet in a headlock, but every day it happens is...
Today In The Upcoming Bloodbath
Well, if it's Tuesday, it must be time for an update on The Game To End All Games, the No. 1 vs. No. 2 Ohio State-Michigan sluggaroo this Saturday. We remain incredibly fond of this matchup and aren't particularly worried about it being "overhyped," as they say, because anyone in danger of fatigue c...

"I Took You Out Because You're Not SMILING Out There"
Well, we know college basketball season is officially upon us: Bob Knight is being accused of brutalizing a player again. This time, it was Texas Tech sophomore forward Michael Prince, who made the mistake of not making eye contact with Knight while being lectured after a timeout. Knight bopped Prin...

You Need Sunglasses To Watch This Team Play
College basketball is slowly tipping off, with a bunch of high-profile schools taking turns writing a check to places like Savannah State and Florida A&M and letting the backups get some work in while cruising to uninspired 25-point victories. (Our Illini begin this process tonight against old nemes...
Any Room At The Inn For Rutgers?
The new BCS Standings are out, and it's a happy day for those of us who realize that Rutgers is the only huge story left — outside of Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game, that is — that's really worth firing one's self up about. The Scarlet Knights are No. 6 in the new BCS poll, which is actually ...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: One Loss, My Ass
Kansas State 45, (4) Texas 42. No Colt McCoy, no win, no chance for a national title. That'll ruin your weekend. McCoy was knocked out of the game early, and freshman Jevan Snead, while he wasn't terrible, wasn't good enough to keep up with a career performance from Kansas State quarterback Josh F...
Let's See If Another National Title Contender Bites It
Do you realize that tonight on ABC, you'll either be getting a game that features Wake Forest, or a game that features Kansas State?

I think the best part of living in Big Ten country is that you are always assured a game with Indiana, Illinois or Northwestern. Oh, did I say best thing? I meant I want to pick my eye out with a grapefruit spoon. - Victoria Times...
Let's Revisit That Rose Bowl, USC
Yahoo! Sports, seemingly dedicated to the sole pursuit of torturing the University of Southern California, has done some digging about the instant replay booth in last year's national championship game. They've discovered that it was an incorrectly hooked-up replay monitor that prevented the prope...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Glad to see Auburn is taking advantage of the loss by Louisville by being taken behind the hedges at Georgia, not too mention the side judge just pulled his hamstring. - EPS...

Football Game Delays Vote Counting; You'll Never Guess Where
No more than 3,500 votes separate U.S. Rep Deborah Pryce and her democratic challenger, Mary Jo Killroy in the Ohio congressional race. There are still 18,000 absentee and provisional ballots to be counted. You'd think they might want to count those as soon as possible ... but they're not....
