It’s Valentines Day….

And Kelvin Sampson Has Broken My Heart.

Remember “The Simpsons” episode where Ralph gave Lisa the Valentine, Lisa told Ralph she didn’t “like, like him”  and later Bart showed Lisa in slow motion where you could see Wiggum’s heart breaking frame by frame?  This was how I felt yesterday when Indiana University released the major infractions they received [...]

Illinois Has No Class

“Indiana pulls off tough win against Ill-annoy”

If you are an Illini fan, you may not want to read this post.  LWN watched the second half of last night’s game and he has plenty of venom and bile to spit towards Champaign.  Debate all you want about seedy recruiting practices, Eric Gordon is still in Bloomington (until the basketball [...]

College Bowl Predictions - Part I

“College Coaches Are No Different Than South American Freedom Fighters.”
 
An open letter to college coaches-
Dear Money Grubbing Ego-maniacal Scumbags:
I understand that coaching can be a brutal profession, but as Gregg Easterbrook pointed out, it can also be done by volunteers (unlike surgeons).  The only reason that your families collapse, your health fades and you sleep [...]

THE NON GAMES OF THE WEEK/ HEISMAN HYPE

We have entered the doldrums of the 2007 college football season.  While this is sad, we can reflect on the season.  We can also discuss the Heisman Trophy which will be handed out on Saturday. 
The season began with a bang, and ended with a thud for some teams.  Let’s look at some of the madness [...]

“The Ire Of The Tigers Fans”

If Mizzou fans are not upset today, then they will be after reading this.  If I were a Mizzou fan, I would be upset.  Sure that win against Kansas was dare I say the biggest win in the history of the program?  There has not been so much excitement in [...]

Biggest Thugs in Sports/Arrest(s) of the Week Part V

Happy Monday!

Welcome to the club Cato June!  June was arrested near Raymond James Stadium after the arresting officer “detected an odor of alcohol” on June’s breath.  June also allegedly “exhibited other clues of impairment.”  This is not June’s first brush with the law.
In June 2006 June was arrested in Lebanon, IN (hometown of LWN’s girlfriend) [...]

Wednesday Evening Podcast - 11-14-07

Cast: Galen Clavio, Rob Nagel, Warren Whisenant

THE GAMES OF THE WEEK

“The Picture is Clearing up”
The BCS Championship is starting to come into focus, and I can say with glee, Ohio State WILL NOT be invited to the party (they don’t deserve it). Sadly, the Big Ten will once again not win the big dance. Ohio State and Michigan will battle to see who plays in [...]

THE GAMES OF THE WEEK

Last week was ugly. LWN picked all winners in the Big Ten, but no one felt like covering a spread. This week we discuss college football’s prized indivdual award, but prior to that, I give YOU your Ray Guy award winner.

The Sunday Morning 3rd Down Back - Midterm Exam Edition

After a travel day last weekend, the Sunday Morning 3rd Down Back is coming at you with a vengeance. I feel as giddy as Kevin Faulk did last Monday when Laurence Maroney failed his “game-time decision” test.
 For the most part, college football teams are now halfway through their respective seasons. So what have we learned [...]
