One DJ's College Playoff Proposal

Ian Auzenne — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 19:43:00 +0000

College football bowl season begins today. While diehard football fans will take the opportunity to sit on the sofa and crack open a few beers, I’m wondering to myself why all of these bowl games matter. I know that the American Standard Toilet Bowl matters to the athletes playing in it, the students who attend [...]

After watching this brief interview with Cassanova McKinzy I am hoping he is a better football player than he is public speaker or student. This is just wrong. I wonder what he got on his SAT? Drool?

Will the Honey Badger take the Heisman? Regardless he won't walk away empty handed from this weekend's College Football Association awards.

For many schools across the country, this is rivalry week: the game that determines bragging rights and, in many cases, a coach’s future employment. But after last week’s chaotic BCS shakeup, a slew of one-loss teams are suddenly back in the national title mix, anxiously hoping for some SEC upsets to give them a shot. Combine that intrigue with a slew of heated rivalries and teams jockeying for conference championships and bowl positions, and it should be another exciting week in college football. Here are all the highlights from this week in the AP Top 25.

Dead Man Puts The "I" In Team For Ohio State Football

Bruce Mikells — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 08:31:09 +0000

It must be strange living someplace other than the South during the football season. I'm not talking about the Saints here, I am talking about NCAA Football, the religion that happens on Saturdays. No matter who your team is you've got time honored traditions, Saturday night in Baton Rouge's Death Valley, the 12th man at Texas A&M, the collapsing into the fetal position just before kick off in Oxford Mississippi. It's all good. I don't think much of Ohio State football, after the allegations earlier this year I think less of them. I do however have a special spot in my heart for this particular fan. His last move, or lack of movement, was devoted to the college football team he loved.

Penthouse To The Outhouse:Former LSU Star Falls Even Further

There is nothing like L.S.U.'s Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night during football season. Young men from across the country dream of someday standing on that hallowed ground and feeling the Earth itself tremble when the Golden Band from Tigerland launches into the fight song. One such young man was JaMarcus Russell, an incredibly gifted athlete with a body that seemed custom built to handle the "best in the country" defenses of the Southeastern Conference.

Bruce Mikells — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 09:10:43 +0000

This has got to make LSU Tiger fans breath a little easier, good news from the NCAA just in time for the Cotton Bowl game. Ridley’s eligibility had been in doubt since Miles said on Dec. 22 that the running back could miss the game because of an unspecified “one-time” academic violation. The Tigers are [...]
