Bill Curry is going to coach where?!?!

June 12th, 2008 | Posted in college football

Yup, the ESPN analyst is gone. Today, Georgia State will name the former Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky head man as it’s new coach.
Wait, what? Who? Georgia State plays football?!?!
Yes, strangely, they will, starting in 2010 in what used to be Division I-AA (the NEW Football Championship Subdivision).
The school will announce the move today, effectively [...]

We’ve decided: The Mike Tirico show blows

March 6th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

All right, we tried. Really, we did. Despite our love for “The Dan Patrick show”, we listened, and listened, and listened to Mike Tirico, trying to be convinced.
And we’ve decided: It sucks.
The show is boring, what with Tirico’s giddy, inside-joking with Michele Tafoya, or his hob nobbing with Kirk Herbstreit, who, quite obviously, knows nothing [...]

Enough of the ‘72 Dolphins, ESPN

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Yes, that was Don Shula of the 1972 Dolphins, an annoying man [...]

January 31st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Remember those days when ESPN would replay the NFL Films Superbowl highlights again and again and again the week leading up to that year’s big game? Seems like just a few years ago. It was as soothing as the 24 hours of “A Christmas Story”. Ah, for the good old days of watching Steve Sabol [...]

Herbstreit, WWL continue to shamelessly diss South Florida

October 16th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

For those of you who didn’t see the 6:00 PM SportsCenter on Wednesday, you missed ESPN College Football “expert” Kirk Herbstreit doing one of those silly Sponsor-of-the-week segments. This one was the ‘Miller Lite Good Call/Bad Call’, where Herbie takes staged questions from Soccer Mom and uses his deft wit and hair to explain how [...]

WWL, experts just don’t get what’s up in college football

October 15th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

First off, props to the smartest college football fans in the country: The computers. ALL six of them had the team we have said over and over has the best resume: South Florida. Thus, even though the coaches and Harris pollsters drank too much Kool-Aid to realize Boston College hasn’t played a schedule close to [...]
