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...
Co-eds Giving Hand Jobs In Public? What Is This World Coming To?
I got several emails about this and I've been waiting for the video to come through. Apparently a couple of fans were caught getting hands on during the Texas/UTEP game. Video after the jump. ...
The Day's Final Hugh
So it turns out that finding a picture of a cheerleader near the letter H is a bit tougher than I imagined. Regardless, East Carolina is sticking it to West Virginia, Notre Dame is still as awful as you could have hoped, and Washington is sticking with BYU in an great game. So yeah, things are star...
Hugh Got What I Need
OK, so Ohio State and Michigan both one, robbing 98% of us of some serious schadenfreude, but there's more football to come! The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are taking on Central Michigan over on Fox Sports Net, so feel free to play along in the comments. There's one more edition of the HJP left...
Hugh Say He's Just a Friend
Ohio State got the lead back, but they're still struggling against Ohio so I'm sticking with today's theme. The Buckeyes are locked in a battle with their cross-state "rivals" while the real McCoy's to their Hatfield's find themselves in a similar situation over in Ann Arbor. Meanwhile Temple is ac...
Oh Baby, Hugh...
Hello, and welcome to the second week of the third year of the Hugh Johnson Project. You know it's a big day when Ohio State and Michigan are on television at the same time, even if they are on different channels. Beanie Wells is out for the Buckeyes, but Pam Ward is on the mic and Chris Spielman is...
Lou Holtz Now Dabbleth In Thaturday Thychiatry
Signal To Noise, who deserves the game ball for yesterday's incarnation of the Hugh Johnson Project, was the first to show us the latest gimmick for ESPN analyst Lou Holtz to dispense his folksy flavor of football knowledge to TV audiences each Saturday. We covered this in Spud's Blogdome, but it re...
HUGH 3: Revenge Of The Sith (Part 3)
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Project tonight. We salute our unlikely winner Northwestern, who, in all honesty, scores an upset whenever they win a game. Good job, them. As for the rest of our winners, congratulations. Your hopes of national prominence continue to live! As an aside, our ...
HUGH 3: Back In Training (Part 2)
We've enjoyed two big upsets today, and with the Clemson-Alabama game yet to come (and to be live blogged right here!), we can count on yet another Top 25 team eating the dirt before day's end. Most of you have weighed in on Virginia Tech, but there's still more football to be discussed. Get us your...
HUGH 3: Return Of The King (Part 1)
Just a little tip when you're submitting your bits of brilliance to The Hugh Johnson on AOL Instant Messenger: Phallic references will almost always get you to the front of the line. Rips on Andre Ware and Pam Ward are always welcomed. Hey, whatever you're selling, we're buying. But now it's time to...
Tom Brady's E: Meet Will McDonough
In a really fascinating article and very well written piece, Brady's E, Will McDonough, is credited with the quarterback's rise from awkward media interviewee to a stylish, model-dating, European-vacationing metrosexual. Depending on your particular persuasion this either makes McDonough the anti-c...
Why Does That Chinese Tattoo Look Like a Bar Code?
We don't want to throw a cold bucket of confetti on the proceedings late tonight, but could it be that all of the perceived new focus by USA Basketball and its players on preparation and presenting a warm face to the public has an awful lot to do with the 1.3 billion consumers the shoe companies (an...
Got Any Tips, Mister?
Hey. I'm Josh Zerkle. Most of you probably know me as Monday Morning Punter from Kissing Suzy Kolber. I also help out here on occasion, and I even did some stuff over here as well. I'll be running the show over here for the weekend. Some of you already know what I bring to the table. The rest of you...
Rush Limbaugh Pursuing the Rams?
Would the universe implode if he traded for Donovan McNabb? Aside from his short-lived experiment with ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Rush previously worked in promotions for the Kansas City Royals and frequently references his sports fandom on his show. Speculation on Limbaugh as an owner has intens...
Canadians Deploy Secret Weapon: Gentle Mocking
Looks as though the "Ruin Romo" craze has made its way to our neighbor to the north,...[checks map] Canadia! A few fans were taunting A-1 Rodboy yesterday with pictures of Madge. Lenny Kravitz might have been more effective, as evidenced by A-Rod collecting one of the Yankees' two hits....
