VIVA! UCLA-BYU Liveblog
You know what’s fun? Liveblogs, that’s what! Don’t really have much else to do this Saturday night. And I love me some bowl action. 5:15–UCLA is one of the fiercest, fastest defenses in the Pac-10…but it’s bowl season, so what do you expect? Miss one tackle, miss another, miss another on a kick return. 5:17–FUMMMBLE! […]
Say Goodnight to Tedford-to-Michigan
Now all we have to worry about is the 49ers job. West Virginia’s Rich Rodriguez, who met with U-M president Mary Sue Coleman and athletic director Bill Martin on Friday in Toledo, has accepted the Michigan coaching job, replacing retiring coach Lloyd Carr, the Free Press learned this afternoon. An official announcement is expected at […]
Pac-10 Coaching Carousel, Part II
So after covering the scenarios yesterday of those coaches who have passed on from the Pac-10 rites, I’ll continue looking through those coaches who will be under the eye for the next twelve months…and could very well be looking for new work in 2009. (The following images were made by a Bruins fan. Hence why […]
Pac-10 Coaching Carousel, Part I
The coaching fluctuation has been pretty consistent in the Pac-10: Two coaches out last year, two coaches out this year. Bill Doba is out. The Karl Dorrell Kool-Aid is now fresh out, and Bruins Nation has now lost the inspiration for 80% of their posts. It’d be funny if the Bruins really did go ahead […]
On the BCS, Part II
I’m sure you already know the story. Missouri got HOSED. HOSED I say! Chase Daniel is a Heisman finalist damnit! Sadly, in a month no one will remember their cries. The reward for the #1 team the next-to-last week of the season is to face Darren McFadden in what’s basically his NFL audition. This will […]
On the BCS, Part I
Oh, I forgot about the actual BCS, didn’t I? Despite all my gripes about a playoff system, it does nothing to alleviate the loathing I have for the BCS. This system is utter douchebaggery at its finest, an arrogant tool that tinkers and fixes itself on a yearly basis, only to create more substantial fuckups […]
On Playoffs. “PLAYOFFS?”
There is going to be a lot of debate about who deserves what after the way things ended this season about how to decide a national champion. That there should be a playoff because this season of chaos has not revealed a clear-cut two teams that stand from teh pack. More importantly for Golden Bear […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 14
Our Big Game is coming up, but it’s sadly one of the more meaningless ones to watch this week. All times PST. Thursday Rutgers at Louisville, 4:30 PM, ESPN. Brian Brohm’s going to have to earn money the hard way. Saturday MAC Championship: Central Michigan vs. Ohio (Detroit), 8 AM, ESPN2. Where only gamblers care. […]
Let’s Hire the O!
Bill Doba is gone from Wazzu after a 5-7 season. I’m a little surprised, considering how close Wazzu came to beating ASU and Cal, along with their throttling of UCLA, but this has been speculated for months. All reports indicate that Mike Price and Cal’s defensive coordinator Bob Gregory will be fighting for the job, […]
My Poll of 25…and BCS Projections, Week 14
Figures that the moment I put Kansas and LSU in the title game, both of them lose. What a great season it’s been for a college football fan. Well, at least for one who doesn’t gamble like a square (that’s actually every season, but you know what I mean). Submit your Top 25 (or 20 […]
