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....

Bruins vs. Tigers, 13:07 Second Half
Glen Davis starts the half by missing a couple of short ones, and UCLA has pushed the lead to 19. This evening... has been disappointing....
Bruins vs. Tigers, Halftime
Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half
Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
It's A Final Four Pants Party
Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking fo...
In Praise Of The Big Baby
In a way, the undeniably blissful story of George Mason in this year's tournament has taken some focus off what would otherwise being a star-making week for LSU's Glen "Big Baby" Davis. The sophomore center is the type of unique creature almost exclusively associated with college basketball....
