Florida State Had A Horrible First Half
Florida State is having a hard time dealing with Auburn—whose running game ESPN earlier likened to an un-winnable game of three-card monte—because the Tigers have all of a sudden taken to the air. Nick Marshall is 7-13 for 113 yards and two touchdowns, one a 50-yard hookup with Melvin Ray....

By Any Rational Measure, FSU Is The Better Team. So What?
College bowl games are far too fleeting and superfluous to serve as the basis for any lasting conclusions, even about the teams playing in them. In fact, if the 2013-14 bowl season has taught us anything–and I'd really prefer that it hasn't, but if it has, in spite of itself–it is that attempting to...
Here's The Taunting Penalty That Almost Cost FSU The BCS Championship
It's a moot point now, but following a late touchdown drive, Florida State was robbed of the opportunity to tie the game late because of a stupid taunting penalty. Davonta Freeman was penalized 15 yards after a touchdown cut the Tigers lead to 21-19 for taunting the Auburn sideline from midfield. Th...
Ok. St.'s Final Possession Was Alternatingly Electric And Maddening
For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with t...
How Joe Biden's Bodyguard Helped Clemson Win Its Only National Title
On the night of Jan. 1, 1982, the Clemson Tigers, coached by Danny Ford, defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 22-15 in the Orange Bowl to win the football program's only national championship. In the third quarter of that game, sophomore safety Billy Davis returned a Nebraska punt 47 yards to the Cornh...

Southern Wins By 104 Points. How Did This Basketball Sham Even Happen?
Southern University defeated Champion Baptist College last night in Baton Rouge by the pedestrian score of 116-12. It could have been worse; the Jaguars led the Tigers 44-0 until CBC made a free throw with 5:10 remaining in the first half. The entire thing was a farce, but according to the NCAA it's...
Missouri Players Flip Their Shit After Seeing Cotton Bowl Gifts
Each college football bowl has a specific gift package for the players participating, and it's safe to say the Missouri Tigers were happy with the Cotton Bowl's presents. The video starts out with some nice team apparel—you have to serve the appetizers first—but when the Apple products come out, hol...
This Memphis Fast Break Looks Like Something I Did In A Video Game Once
On Saturday, the Memphis Tigers played the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks in a meh game no one really cared about. But in said meh game, this ridiculous fast break happened, which if not the best play of the year so far, has to be the most fun....

Angry Alabama Fan Drops The Best Burn On Colin Cowherd
Paul Finebaum welcomed ESPN radio personality and rat-faced gasbag Colin Cowherd onto his radio show yesterday, and the two did some chatting about Auburn's stunning win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Cowherd apparently had some not-nice things to say about Alabama during his segment. Big mistake, C...

I hope he's just a sourpuss and not so old that he's physically incapable of expressing joy. [CBS]...
Poor Mark Ingram Had To Wear Auburn Gear Yesterday
Saints running back Mark Ingram played college ball at Alabama, a team which you may remember losing the Iron Bowl in spectacular fashion to Auburn last week. It looks like Ingram made some kind of bet on the game with one of his teammates, because he showed up to practice yesterday decked out in Au...
The Dumb Iron Bowl Question You Were Afraid To Ask
I watched the Iron Bowl on Saturday and after basking in the glorious HOLYSHIT-ness of it all, I wondered what would happen if you returned a field goal in the middle of a game but failed to bring it all the way to the house. Do you get the ball at the spot you returned it? Or does the ball automa...

Mentally Challenged High School Athlete Killed For His Headphones
Christian Massey was described as a "gentle giant" by those who knew him. A social worker called Massey, a ward of the state since he was 12, her "success story." Just months after graduating high school, where the 6'2", 300 pounder played football, basketball, and even lacrosse (though he didn't kn...
Where Does Verne Lundquist Rank The Iron Bowl All-Time?
Uncle Verne was cagey about this one. He's seen a lot of sports history—more than 50 years of it—and he was understandably wary about trying to contextualize an amazing Alabama-Auburn game just two days later. But Newsday's Neil Best tried to pin him down: what's the greatest sporting event he's eve...
50 Years Of NCAA Football Realignment, Visualized
This Saturday's SEC championship game comes freighted with the awkwardness of college football realignment. Missouri, representing the "SEC East," will take on Auburn, representing the "SEC West," even though the latter lies a couple hundred miles closer to the Atlantic Ocean. Wacky!...
