Excuse Our Excretory Humor
OK, we're going entirely from memory here, since we haven't been able to find anything else about the exchange on the Web, but that's fine, we'd like to take credit for seeing it anyway. It will reveal just how puerile we really are....
University Of Miami: Complete Assheads
In one of the more ridiculous travesties of justice we can possibly think of happening on a college campus — save for maybe Nick Lachey living with Matt Leinart — the University of Miami has kicked blogger Kyle Munzenrieder out of campus housing after he posted a two-year-old rap song from Miami f...
Our Own, Demented Version Of "Switched At Birth"
Because in a month we're going to be the only people who remember the show, we feel obliged to point out — per a reader's excellent, perceptive eye — that ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas and Will Arnett's ridiculously funny "Gob" from "Arrested Development" look so much like each other t...
Athlete Run-Ins: Another Duke Miracle
Today's first athlete run-in story is one we're sure most of you will enjoy. Why? Because it makes fun of a Duke guy! Everybody loves those!...
Student Athletes Rule!
From the Angry College Professors department comes an email forwarded to us from the land of the USC Trojans. Fullback Mike Brittingham, a former walk-on with only one catch this year (though, assuredly, a lot of blocks), apparently missed a conference with one of his professors in October because...
Angry Man In A Funny Shirt
We know it's almost holiday time because there's an inexplicable Monday afternoon college basketball game. We're going to try to tear ourselves away from CNN's monthly let's pretend we're not rooting for a live plane crash because it would be outstanding television to watch Michigan State play Cha...
Apology Fashion
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer — still lamenting the poo Alabama took against Auburn on Saturday, we're sure — points us in the direction of Jemere Hendrix, a University of Tennessee basketball player who was kicked out of school in October for being busted for marijuana possession. That seems like a...
Athlete Run-Ins: Matt Leinart's Surprise
These athlete stories, we have to say, they're really getting pretty fun, aren't they? After this morning's Andy Roddick story, we present a story about USC quarterback and co-ed depantser Matt Leinart ... AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE. From Los Angeles' John Bishop:...
I - L - L !!!!!!!
We know some of those early-season tournaments have been going on all week, but as far as we're concerned, the college basketball season actually starts tonight: Our beloved, "Paint The Hall Orange" Illinois Fighting Illini tip off against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits — because nothing says...
Closing The Dorm Room Door
Well, we've been observing with much amusement — and a little fear — the ongoing aftermath of SeventhFloorGate (not the catchiest name, we admit). As nicely wrapped up by Sports Media Watch, it appears to be a big moral issue for Pat Forde and ESPN.com, and that's about it. No one else seems to be...
Sorry, Man: Gays Like Football Too
Via Towleroad comes this fun little story from the Northwestern football program. Apparently, there's a muchly gay-friendly Web site devoted to Wildcats freshman wide receiver Ross Lane called, understandably, The Ross Lane Fan Club. The site tackles all things Northwestern sporty but has a partic...
Rock Me Like An Extreme Weather Pattern
Well, it might be easy for Larry Coker and his Miami crew to hide from us, but it's not as easy for them to hide from ESPN. (For now.) Now that the moralists at the worldwide leader (and the AP) have picked up our bit about the Miami football team's rather intense rap, all kinds of heck is breakin...
The Ongoing Popularity Of "The U"'s Rap
For anyone who might have doubted the authenticity of our frightening Miami gangbang rap song post yesterday, Hurricanes wide receiver Sinorice Moss confirmed it for us today in his ESPN chat....
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Shuffle
Ah, the University of Miami, the only school where they wear thongs as graduation tassles. Gotta love 'em. They're like our own little 2 Live Crew concert, every Saturday....
An Interview With The "Lee Corso Is A Penis" Guy
Remember that guy who held up that "Lee Corso Is A Penis" sign behind the ESPN ranter a few weeks ago? Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has an interview with the guy. Fittingly, the guy wouldn't give this last name because, of course, he wants to work for ESPN....
Joe Paterno ... Closet Raci — You Know, We Don't Have The Energy Anymore
Another day, another old college football coach being subtly accused of racism. The headline on ESPN.com's home page kind of lets you know how Penn State coach Joe Paterno's comments on black athletes is being spun: "Paterno Links Black Athletes To Increased Scoring."...
Everybody Loves It When Athletes Get In Trouble
You know, when you look at the year long frat party that the 2005 Southern California football team has become, it's kind of surprising there hasn't been more malfeasance....
Lee Corso's Fans Follow Him Everywhere
From ESPN's "College Gameday," via Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, comes this screenshot that RJYH purveyor says "could" be Photoshopped, but it's doubtful....
Feeling Fisher DeBerry's Pain
Not to keep harping on this, but we couldn't help but point out the result of Fisher DeBerry's Air Force Falcons' game on Saturday:...
The Link Between DeBerry, The Astros And Dubya
Fascinating column on the addictive, compelling site Black Athlete Sports Network comparing the situation involving Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments on black athletes and the Astros' dubious distinction of being the first team since the 1956 Yankees to make the World Series without a sing...
