Appalachian State's New Logo Might Have Been Drawn By A Child
At gunpoint, I'd say the guy on the left was a sea captain, or maybe the Gorton's Fisherman.

So they're switching to the guy on the right, presumably after an intense design compe...

The Time This Kid Realized He Was Waving A Turkey Leg
The waving of the turkey leg — sure, cute, but we've all been there. Having only two hands can feel so limiting, so of course, you're watching Okie State piss-pound Baylor back into the MaybeNextYear.com Bowl, and everyone else starts some kind of en masse arm swing, and what option do you have but ...

Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses.
