New AP Football poll, very similar crap

August 16th, 2008 | Posted in college football

So we’re back to the same ol’ game:
Start the college pigskin season with some inaccurate polls based on assumptions, know said polls determines who will play for the mythical (yes, it’s still mythical until you have a playoff) championship game, and wait for excuses from pollsters/coaches on why anyone but a big school from a [...]

My stupidity knows no bounds: 2009 edition

July 23rd, 2008 | Posted in random

Well, I did it again. Today, I pre-ordered the Madden Collector’s Edition for the Nth year in a row, thereby guaranteeing myself a largely frustrating couple of months where I get pissed off about the game’s shortcomings and actively question my decision to plop down $60 bucks (or in this case, $80) for what will [...]

I felt sorry for this kid…

February 6th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

…until I saw that he had one of those jackass press conferences where he’s got the two hats sitting in front of him.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, the kid above is named Kevin Hart, and he’s a high school football player in Nevada. He announced yesterday that he would be attending [...]

December 4th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

So ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, who Saturday said LSU coach Les Miles would be Michigan’s next hear coach, went on WDFN-AM radio in Detroit on Monday apologizing for everything from that story all the way to the war in Iraq, then said:

Floyd Keith is displeased with Texas A&M

November 28th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Like other college football observers, I was mildly surprised when Texas A&M hired former Packers head coach Mike Sherman to replace Dennis Franchione. I wasn’t even aware that Sherman was looking for another head coaching job, although given his previous ties to College Station, the move was understandable. However, the speed with which the move [...]

Gill is in at Nebraska?

November 27th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

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 [...]
