Let's Get This Sparty Started
Michigan State's fervor in this game against Michigan seemed to have died last night in that basketball loss to Grand Valley State. The Wolverines are up early in this one 14-3. It's as if something John L. Smith said last year finally sank in with the MSU players this afternoon....
Kansas Builds A Rather Portly Lead
It seems like the majority of the readers — at least those with Instant Message accounts — are taking notice of Kansas ripping through Nebraska 48-24 at halftime. Virginia and Wake Forest are also trying to make the game interesting, but failing, as the WF Deacons lead 16-10....
Ducks Commence Tailgate Over 12 Hours Before Gametime
Not everyone can watch the Ohio State-Wisconsin game, so it pains me to tell you all that it's actually quite a good game. Wisconsin had an amazing fake punt, where No. 94 threw to No. 97, quite possibly the longest offensive play in Wisconsin history where two players with 90-something jerseys touc...
Good Night, Sweet Prince
• What's Gotten Into Tayshaun Prince? There's only one way to explain the Piston's opener on Thursday: Tayshaun Prince was bitten by something in the woods, and became Teen Wolf. Prince scored a career-high 34 points, and collected 12 rebounds (!), as Detroit beat Miami 91-80 in the season opener fo...
This Is Why You Hire a Darren Prince
What can I say about Dennis Rodman that hasn't already been said about Liz Taylor on a year-long acid trip? Hmmm....I'll have to get back to you on that one. Apparently Mr. Rodman uses the holiday of Halloween to dress himself in outrageous fashion—who knew?! If this is how the former rebounding ki...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
As a UConn grad, I'm not sure what I'm prouder of: being up 16-0 on USF, or the cheerleaders in white outfits not protecting themselves from the rain. -Tom Feely...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
It's another glorious Saturday of football action all over America. Of course I'm sitting here following the games online and collecting your instant messages while I watch the Premier League on my DVR. Things sure do sound thrilling, so I'll be sure to catch the second halves of the early games (as...
Iowa State's Mascot Is Somehow A Living Thing
Bringing you all things North Dakota State, Minnesota and NDSU are seesawing back and forth. NDSU has a 24-21 lead thanks to running back Tyler Roehl hitting the 250-yard mark on just 15 carries. But most of you are watching Iowa State-Oklahoma, Vanderbilt-South Carolina, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Indi...
How Pam Ward Can Get You Hammered
Not to slurp all over my cable provider, but Buckeye Cable is cool enough to not only provide the Big Ten Network, they actually air TWO games at once. So that's why I'm watching Minnesota-North Dakota State. It's tied 14-14, and apart from the sadness surrounding the fact that these two teams are o...

Blues 3, Blackhawks 1. • NBA: Garnett and Allen make Celtics debuts as Knicks play the part of the Washington Generals. • Golf: Angel Cabrera pulls off Testave...
Hugh II: The Nedyssey Continues ... Pt. Deux
The best college football game of the day might very well be happening in Canada. Yeah, you heard me. The Ontario University Athletics champs Ottawa Gee-Gees (6-0) are currently playing the Laurier Golden Hawks (also 6-0). Please stop laughing. Anyway, back to you; back to Hugh II ......
Hugh II: The Nedyssey Continues ...
OK, time to fire this baby up. I planned on grabbing a screen shot of Corso wearing that horse's head, but I couldn't find my damn camera. Oh well. ASU poon will have to do. Also, I'm not watching any college football right now. The Score is airing a celebrity poker match starring Jose Canseco and L...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The early games are beginning to wrap up and to everyone's surprise things have gotten quite a bit more interesting out there.
