USF, FSU admins leave athletic departments out to dry

It was a bad day to be an athletic director (current or former) in Florida yesterday, as two prominent Division I-A school administrations laid some smack down on their athletics programs.
First up was the University of South Florida — darling of TMC and little-guy advocates everywhere — which saw its administration wrest control of academic [...]

Gill is in at Nebraska?

This is all speculation, trust me on that. Yesterday Nebraska AD Tom Osbourne flew on a chartered plane to Baton Rouge, LA apparently to interview LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pellini. The plane then left to fly to Atlanta to meet with their coach searching firm and, presumably to interview Buffalo head coach Turner Gill. Huskernation [...]

THE GAMES OF THE WEEK

Dear Readers, LWN wishes you all a happy and prosperous Thanksgiving.  Remember to spend time with your loved ones.  Let them know what you are thankful for.  Also, wonder out loud what the Native Americans are thankful for.  Perhaps the white man coming to the New World, stealing their land, destroying their envirnoment, giving them [...]

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

Well, this is unfortunate

Lemme tell you — nothing takes the glow off your day quite like flying from Fort Lauderdale to Pittsburgh. Or Baltimore. But I’m in Pittsburgh now, hobnobbing with sport marketers and cursing the predicted 35-degree low temperatures for tonight.
A few stories to tide you over in the meantime:
— Rumored new ESPN hire (and current Baltmore [...]

USF now stands for “University of Shut the f*ck (up)”

These people need to be shot. Really. I’ll buy my first gun to do it.
Not only are ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler hating on the South Florida Bulls, not only are the Harris and Coaches’ poll voters downgrading them, but now a professor at the other end of the country. J. Michael Robinson directs [...]

It’s Wednesday, let’s sue Mike Vick

Curveballs, lawsuits, and missing caucasian point guards. Just a day in the life of SBA.
— We at TMC are not alone in our South Florida love. College Game Balls gets all philosophical about the situation, and advocates for the Bulls in the national title picture.
— The Big Lead updates the NFL power rankings. Seeing the [...]

The Bulls are losing it…

Above is a screen shot from the Chicago Bulls website. Notice its says “Bulls drop preseason ppener” I fully understand that we are all prone to mistakes, particularly when it comes to typos. I am certainly guilty of a few just on this website alone. But what kind of reflection is it when your [...]
