Hey, Hugh! Hugh Down There!
First thing I learned at internet journalism camp - always bookend an upskirt with a downshirt. Maryland continues to only get up for the big games, winning their fifth straight against a top-25er by blanking Wake Forest 29-0. And Matt Grothe went touchdown happy as South Florida smashed Syracuse. ...
Lou Holtz Is Down With Hugh
So, Lou Holtz apologized for his Hitler remarks from last night. If anyone has video of this, feel free to send along. Another guy who might have to issue an apology (a very personal one) is Terry Bowden, who wrote that his brother Tommy deserved to get canned. Texas Tech and Texas A&M are locked i...
What are Hugh Two Lookin' At?
The big showdown between the Daniels and the McCoys comes your way this evening. Meanwhile, couple of early shoot-outs going on between Syracuse/South Florida and Texas's A&M and Tech, and Georgia is up a touchdown on Jay Cutler's alma mater. Was it obvious there I have no idea what I'm talking abo...
Snip My Child's Foreskin, Please!
So what did we learn today? Other than maybe learning that Mack Brown can win the big games, RichRod can't win the little games, and that taking the points against Utah is wallet suicide, I learned this...and I don't have any clue how to react: Friend of Deadspin and unabashed Tim Tebow superfan Dan...
Hugh Recommends An Assortment Of Beverages
Sports, at the end of the day, is about bringing people together. Take me and Rick, for example. I've know Paulas for all of about 36 hours now, but we've really bonded. We're already at the point in the friendship where we can tell each other Holocaust jokes. How great is that? But anyway, Rick pas...
Hugh: Musberger Doesn't Trust Your Concept Of 'Interesting'
So Brent Musberger tells me, right after Texas runs back a kickoff for a touchdown, "Pull up a chair, folks. This one's gonna get real interesting." Bear in mind, it's a 1-vs.-5 game, and we just saw a fucking kickoff run back for a touchdown. Do I need a rickety old man alerting me to the gravity o...
Hugh Johnson Heads to Tuscaloosa
Listen young lady, I don't know how they do things down in Lexington, but we at the Hugh Johnson Project don't really "do" dick jokes. What's that you say? It is just one big dick joke? Well alright then, please gather up some like-minded friends and join us after the jump....
Spartan Football Gets Hugh Excited
Michigan State is looking to move to 2-0 in the Big Ten, and they're looking good while doing it. The Spartans are holding off the Iowa Hawkeyes by a score of 16-13 in the fourth quarter. BC and NC State have slowed down a bit, and the Eagles lead 28-17 on the strength of Chris Crane's 319 yards th...
Uncorking The Hugh Johnson Project
Another weekend of college football has begun, but for once we'll have to make due without the play-by-play brilliance of Pam Ward. Everyone's favorite Hugh Johnson punching bag is off covering the WNBA Finals so this week you'll have to settle for her substitute saying the most ridiculous things i...
Hugh 3: Updating The Late Games
No. 9 Wisconsin 19, Michigan 0. Great play in the first half from Wisconsin on fourth-and-short where the punter ran up under center and used a hard count to draw Michigan offside to keep the Badgers' drive alive. Bret Bielema might be the most creative coach in America. And Michigan still sucks. Co...
Hugh 2: UNC Steals TD Pass, Game From Miami
UNC defensive back Tremaine Goddard ripped Miami's game-winning touchdown out of the hands of Kayne Farquharson in the end zone. Farquharson had the ball (and the game) on his hands, only to have it pilfered by Goddard to save the game for the Tar Heels, 28-24. Almost as unreal as the video of a Hur...
Tim Tebow Welcomes Hugh to the Last Hugh of the Day
This version of the Hugh Johnson Project is brought to you by Washington St. coach Paul Wulff and his strict nutrition standards (via: SbB): ...
Hugh Won't Believe What NC State Did
NC State stunned #15 Eastern Carolina today. After State got the game into overtime, Andre Brown caught a ball, ran ten yards and asked his teammates to follow him ... to FREEDOM! They obliged. Other winners today so far include Clemson (which blanked South Carolina State), Boston College, Northwes...
Hugh Are the Best, and Joe Biden's Not Afraid of Ohio State
Barack Obama's right hand man isn't exactly a fan of Ohio State's football team: ...
Hugh There With the Sideburns; Yeah, HUGH!
All of the games so far today are still in their infancy (though the suspense has completely been extinguished in the contests involving Penn St., Alabama and Georgia Tech), which means we shall turn to our good friend "the dick joke" to get us through the early afternoon. But before we do that, wo...
Tallest College Basketball Player Ever, 7'7 370 pound Kenny George, Out For Season
Kenny George plays for UNC-Asheville. Last season he averaged 12.4 points and 7 rebounds per game while leading the nation with a 69.6% shooting percentage. But his massive size has always been a problem for his feet. And now, after a second foot surgery this offseason, the AP says, he's out for th...
Hugh Johnson IV: Hugh Can't Mess With the Bulldogs
South Carolina put up a tremendous fight and gave us the exciting college football we all hope for early in September. No. 2 ranked Georgia had the ball bounce their way throughout the day, literally in the end zone at one point, but SC never quit. A nice two minute drill put together by Chris Smell...
Hugh Johnson III: It's a Penis Joke, See
In order for Penn State fans to really view their dominance today of Syracuse as a moral victory, the "Nittaly Lions'" point differential must be greater than the number of years JoePa has been head ball coach in Happy Valley. In legit football action, South Carolina is giving Georgia a real fight. ...
Why Are There So Many Posts About Hugh?
Maryland is running all over the 23rd ranked Cal Bears. So far we've learned that Jim Henson is a former Terp and that Cal isn't very good. Be sure to send your brilliant observations to "The Hugh Johnson" via AIM. So a cal wide receiver just got knocked out basically and threw up his green Gatorade...
Who Are Hugh?
I'm relatively new to the Hugh. I'm meeting Mr. Johnson for the first time today and hoping he'll be gentle. Clearly, Cal has not recovered from the loss of DeSean "Obama" Jackson and finds themselves trailing Maryland early. In the annual battle of teams that traditionally suck the most, Temple and...
