College Football Roundup: Barack Obama's New Southern Strategy
The most interesting thing about this weekend was Barack Obama continuing his jeremiad against the BCS.

College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday.

Vanderbilt Up Against the Grass Ceiling?
Which, to be fair, would mean a bunch of their players would excel at Penn State. Tomorrow Vandy hosts South Carolina in the Thursday night ESPN game of the week.

Why Didn't Anyone Try This On Donaghy?
The New Castle County soccer league of Delaware might not be home to the kind of grace and skill we've seen from Euro 2008, but their games sure as hell sound entertaining. Ranord A.

Vanderbilt Commodores
1. It's Shan "Rhymes With Pain" Foster. Perhaps more peculiar than the spelling of his name is the form of his jump shot: Foster shoots the ball with his hands virtually behind his head. This causes trouble for almost every defender, as he is able to get off any shot with a defender in his face. He ...

Why Aren't Baseball Video Games Any Good?
We like to play the occasional video game, but we don't obsess over them, mostly because we're not very good at them. We have, however, obsessed over Strat-o-Matic before, because we're a nerd for baseball simulation. (A bit redundant phrasing, we agree.)...
