It’s time to change …

December 31st, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Welcome 2008, goodbye 2007. Here’s to a year with fewer HGH stories, more championships for those deserving (Read: Eric Gordon, Carson Palmer, Dusty Baker, and anyone not named “Patriots”) and all the candy we can get our hands on.
So, we send you out with this …

More chinks in NFL Network armor? Some IU, OK State fans to see Insight Bowl

December 31st, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

So we’re still trying to figure why these COLLEGE bowl games like the Insight Bowl (and really, the NCAA as a whole), looking for as much money and viewership as possible, would be so stupid to not only put, again, a  COLLEGE bowl game on the NFL Network, but place the game on a [...]

Garbage Time

December 20th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Things have slowed down here a bit on TMC. I’m rapidly trying to finish my dissertation (yes, seriously), and the holidays in general seem to bring a malaise in sports, with all this goofy anticipation for the bowl games and the NFL playoffs. My apologies to all you loyal readers out there, as well as [...]

WVU fans ready to kill RichRod AND DJ

December 19th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Right now isn’t a good time to poke the West Virginia faithful, especially if you’re some yahoo named “Coach”Kidd.
Apparently this guy’s a DJ at WVSR-AM, 102.7 ELECTRIC! (I just wanna say that one time out loud). Apparently he’s a Michigan alum. And apparently he kept telling listeners how great a move this was for the [...]

College Bowl Predictions - Part I

December 19th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

“College Coaches Are No Different Than South American Freedom Fighters.”
 
An open letter to college coaches-

Saban to West Virginia? You gotta be kidding us

December 18th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Ok, we’re REALLY doubting the veracity of this one: The blog West by God Virginia reports Alabama coach Nick Saban contacted West Virginia about its opening. You know, the same Nick Saban that’s slept with every school in D-1 … I mean, the football bowl subdvision.
Far fetched? Probably. But WBGV (we’re not spelling out the [...]

WVU fans pissed, RichRod pisses back

December 18th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

So Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez isn’t gonna take it any more: He’s fighting his $4 million buyout. Says the school violated a bunch of things.
Oh Richie, you’re just gonna make things worse.
Fans are pissed in Mountaineerland. How pissed?
His hometown, Grant Town, W. Va. (population less than one thousand) no longer hosts signs saying “Home of [...]
