College Football Previews: #6 LSU
Just one step away from the top 5 comes the mad genius that is Les Miles and his national champion Tigers. Today's preview is brought to you by Cajun Boy in the City. Included in his preview is a picture of an LSU girl that will make you want to cry and immediately move to Baton Rouge. Or at least ...

Les Miles and Snoop Dogg Are Boyzzzz
In one of the more incongruous pairings of this American life, Snoop Dogg showed up at a rotary club meeting to express his approval of LSU head coach Les Miles. Snoop's move has, no doubt, further ignited the West Coast-Southeast football feud that has claimed so many lives in the past five years....

Emmitt Smith's Role With ESPN Gets Reimagined
The signs were all there that Emmit Smith's time mumbling, bumbling, stumbling on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown was going to be short-lived, especially when the WWL picked up Cris Carter post-"Inside The NFL", but he's still not completely out of a job. No, Smith has not been banished to some verb con...

Somebody Has Been Watching "Rookie Of The Year"
Yesterday during the NCAA Super Regional, UC Irvine got out of a base loaded jam in the 7th inning against LSU by pulling the Hidden Ball Trick, which is best known to people of my generation from the movie Rookie of the Year, which also taught us that pitchers got big butts. Except UC Irvine didn't...

To Watch Tonight
What to watch while keeping your opinions to yourself......

About Last Night
What you missed while pondering issues much more important than football ... • Super Bowl: New England Patriots win as expected. Brady named MVP; everyone's predictions turn out to be true. I see absolutely no way that writing this on Sunday morning can turn out to be a bad idea. • Super Bowl: It's ...

Some LSU Fans Are Disgusting
If you haven't your fill of repulsive behavior from drunken white football fans yet this morning — because apparently that's all the rage now — this video should be enough to take the taco. Warning: You're about to be disgusted. (Seriously: That's a legitimate warning. Turn the volume on your com...

BCS Blogdome
What they're saying out in the ether about LSU's 38-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game ......

Geaux Back to Columbus
Thanks to the omniscience of the Bowl Championship Series we can officially crown the Louisiana State Tigers as the National Champions Elect of College Football. And while we're at it, let's all give a big thanks to Ohio State for keeping things interesting for a few minutes longer than the last tim...

LSU Will Also Beat Your Ass At Tetris
The day will surely come, my friend, when football will exist only in The Matrix. Why should humans risk serious injury and National Anthems by the Oak Ridge Boys when we can play the whole damn game on an Xbox? We're a step closer to that already, as LSU has revealed that its quarterbacks — Matt Fl...

NCAA Blogdome: Will The Madness Ever End?
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. Whoa, whoa, wait a second. Where have I heard that line before? Oh, that's right ... the last time LSU lost a triple OT football game! (Creepy, eh? I must have like cool anti-Tiger powers or something...

High-Percentage Field Goals Are For Losers
• Heauxly Crap. About a minute after Matt Flynn's last-second touchdown pass put the Tigers ahead of the ... Tigers, I had discovered that my eyebrows were still raised in amazement. LSU opted not to kick a field goal (or at least thought they'd still have time to boot one) and heaved one at the end...

NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...

ESPN Hires Salisbury Upgrade
ESPN's "NFL Sunday Countdown" has tried all sorts of gimmicks to move the ratings dial up a tick, most famously hiring Rush Limbaugh to defend the long-persecuted white quarterback. But now they're trying something we wouldn't have even thought of: They're bringing in a 10-year-old....

Temple's Inspired Obfuscation Falls Just Short
Considering the breathtaking amount of success Temple University sports have had over the last few years, it's no surprise that they were put on probation by the NCAA yesterday. We're so glad Temple's dominance was finally explained....

Sugar Bowl: Talk Amongst Yourselves
In case you've forgotten, the Nokia Sugar Bowl is this evening as Charlie Weis and his group of underachieving Irishmen take on those ESPN fictional national champions, the LSU Tigers. Notre Dame is getting 8.5 points tonight and I've got a funny feeling that's a number that you must pounce on. (F...

If Only He'd Have Gone Another Week!
This man's name is Fraser Babineaux, and for the last year, he has been known around these here Internets as "LSUOverUSC," a guy absolutely obsessed with proving LSU deserved the national title over USC in 2003. His site is a case study in how the Internet can drive one mad; it is so niche and so si...

One Depressing Sports Weekend
We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major w...

Tapeworms Overcome Glen Davis; UCLA And Florida To Meet Monday Night
Every commercial CBS takes prolongs the agony. And CBS certainly isn't shy about the commercial breaks this year....
