A Skeptic's Guide To The 2012 Heisman Trophy
Remember the lullaby afternoons of September, when we all figured we'd see a Heisman winner who merited the award? Maybe a Geno Smith, slinging the ball all over the yard, or even a Matt Barkley, who despite being named after Big Bird's dog had the right pedigree and weaponry (Robert Woods and Marqu...
The Honey Badger Is Headed To The NFL
After being thrown off of the LSU football team due to multiple failed drug tests and getting sent to John Lucas's anti-drug gulag, Tyrann Mathieu has decided that he's had enough of the NCAA. A few hours ago he released a statement with his intention to declare for the 2013 NFL draft and sent out ...
It's Official: Somehow Florida, Of All Damn Teams, Was Thoroughly Underrated This Year
So the near-impossible has actually happened: The national media and coaches really, truly underestimated Florida this year. Any chance that wasn't the case evaporated as the Gators ripped off 24 straight points near the end of their 37-26 win over rival Florida State, a team that spent nearly the e...
Say This For Newly Former Arkansas Head Coach John L. Smith: He Screwed Only Himself, Never The Help
The University of Arkansas will not be renewing the contract of interim coach John L. Smith, the university announced today, confirming what everyone and his sister knew the minute then-No. 8 Arkansas lost in Little Rock to Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 8. Smith's team cliff-dove out of the polls, then ...
Losses By Oregon, Kansas State Ensure All-SEC Title Game
Welp, it happened. Kansas State, once thought unbeatable†, loosed the SI-cover-jinx-aided mother of all bedshits Saturday. Call it the revenge of the Southwest* Conference: Texas A&M downs the No. 1 Crimson Tide last week, Baylor (editor's note: LOL) conks the Wildcats this week. This is agonizingly...
"There Is No Such Thing As Flop!": Watch Les Miles Angrily, Then Happily, Then Jokingly, Praise His Team After A Narrow Victory
Les Miles goes through an emotional spectrum here that surpasses even the most skilled practioners of the dramatic arts—it's forceful, angry, instructive, happy, endearing, eloquent, then a little angry again, then back to happy—some of these feelings are just plain unidentifiable. They are feelin...
Odell Beckham, Jr.'s 89-Yard Punt Return Tied Things Up For LSU Against Ole Miss
In a run that reminded old-timers of Billy Cannon's feat against the Rebels in 1959, LSU's Odell Beckham, Jr. sprinted 89 yards on a punt return to tie things up between the Tigers and Ole Miss this afternoon and lending life to a seventh-ranked team that had up to that point left a usually "Deaf"...
Deshazor Everett's Name And His Interception To Beat Alabama Are Equally Fantastic
As subplots go, the Alabama-Texas A&M game had an unexpected one from the end of the first quarter through the tense final minute: an errant extra point. Up until the decisive few seconds, when a Bama penalty on an Aggies punt killed the dregs of game clock, there lingered the question of whether...
Alabama Escapes Death (Valley): Angling For Three, A Screen Pass Goes For 28 Yards And Wins It
A great game that looked like an upset deep into the fourth quarter-if you go by point spread, was something of an upset even after the final buzzer-turned into another in a long string of Alabama victories, as the Crimson Tide won 21-17 and moved to 9-0 (6-0 SEC) on the season....
Tyrann Mathieu Charged With Marijuana Possession In Saddest Bust Ever
Former LSU defensive back Tyrann Mathieu and three other former LSU football players were arrested this afternoon on charges of marijuana possession. Mathieu has been officially charged with simple possession of marijuana. Considering that Mathieu has already been dismissed from the LSU football te...
Why Did LSU Airbrush Out The Crosses Painted On These Dudes' Chests?
What you see above are two different versions of the same photo. The photo was taken at a recent LSU football game and the students in the picture are members of a Christian cheering section known as the Painted Posse. The original version (on the bottom) shows the students with crosses painted on ...
Terrell Suggs Acted Like A Kid With ADD On Ravens Photo Day
Terrell Suggs looked pretty good in his return to action, finishing with four tackles, a sack, and a deflection. Yes, the Ravens got blown out, but Suggs is feeling like his old happy-go-lucky self, and you know what that means: horrifying gummy smiles....
Texas A&M's Six Laterals With No Time Left Couldn't Beat LSU
Not often that an SEC tilt will give you flashbacks to a Div. III game from five years ago. But today the No. 20 Aggies started slinging laterals every which way but forward while down five and out of time against No. 6 LSU, almost raising the ghosts of Trinity vs. Millsaps....
Will Terrell Suggs Save The Struggling Ravens' Defense, Or Will He Doom It?
The Ravens are known for their defense. In most every game Baltimore plays—and this goes double when they play the Steelers—color commentators wax about "hard-nosed football" and "defensive mentality" and "slobber-knockers."...
South Carolina Fan Arrested For Mooning The Crowd At LSU Game
You do get the feeling that Saturday night's game would have been extra-frustrating for a Gamecocks fan who traveled all the way from South Carolina only to watch his No. 3 team get upset in Baton Rouge. So that explains, but does not excuse, the actions of Charles Hattaway, a 34-year-old from Charl...
Jockey Chantal Sutherland Failed A Breathalyzer Test Before Her Race
Chantal Sutherland is not unattractive. But the Canadian rider, with more than 10 years of experience, has headed off any Danica-style criticism by actually being quite good at her job. Thankfully for her, that body of work will also prevent her from being known chiefly as the jockey who nearly rode...
Auburn Wrests Title Of "Team Everyone Wants To Play" From Arkansas
Arkansas beat Auburn today, which in itself wouldn't be so strange except that as recently as this morning it was reasonable to ask whether Arkansas would ever win another game, ever, ever. The Hogs were a preseason top-10 team that lost f̶i̶v̶e̶ four games—in September. If someone was to cushion th...
Will The Honey Badger Be Playing For LSU Next Season?
Tyrann Mathieu's suspension from LSU wasn't your average suspension. LSU announced their ruling in a mysterious, intentionally opaque press conference, and their reasons for waving goodbye to their best player were never fully divulged. Whatever the reason, the farewell seemed permanent: four days ...
