The Dubsism 2011-2012 College Football Bowl Matchups: I Was So Wrong Now My Wife Thinks She Knows More Than I Do

EDITOR’S NOTE: The original predictions that were made here back in August were based on an assumption the NCAA will would rule Ohio State, Miami (FL), and Auburn ineligible for post-season competition.

What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 11/26/2011 – The Up-To-The-Minute Coaches’ Death Watch Edition

Lots of stuff has happened since we originally started this Coaches’ Death Watch a month ago. Some of it we saw coming, some of it we didn’t, and some of it is simply inexplicable.

Granted, we messed up when we… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 11/26/2011 – The Up-To-The-Minute Coaches’ Death Watch Edition

Geno Auriemma: The Collapse of the Big East Is All Notre Dame’s Fault

Geno Auriemma is an angry guy.  When he’s not busy calling all of you “misogynists,” he’s blaming Notre Dame for all the re-alignment madness currently gripping college football.  I mention this only because I know the legions of college football fans have been on pins and needles wondering about the ramblings of a women’s basketball… Read More Geno Auriemma: The Collapse of the Big East Is All Notre Dame’s Fault

What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 10/22/2011 – The Inaugural Coaches’ Death Watch Edition

Former 49ers head coach and NFL legend Bill Walsh always said the four most powerful words in leadership were “I believe in you.” The irony is when a coach here’s those words coming from his owner or general manager, he might as well just packing up his office then.  Let’s be honest. We are deep… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 10/22/2011 – The Inaugural Coaches’ Death Watch Edition

What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 10/15/2011 – The “Exposed” Edition

If you are my age, you remember Fotomat.  If you don’t remember Fotomat, then you also likely don’t remember rotary dial phones, cars that had carburetors rather than fuel injection, and the days when McDonald’s didn’t pretend to care about your health. You don’t remember the days when you never had to dial somebody’s area code… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 10/15/2011 – The “Exposed” Edition

For today’s “Purdue Joke of the Day” (although this is equally a shot at the equally putrid Minnesota Gophers), thank the good people over at SB Nation. Comcast guide screens for football games can be an endless source of entertainment, usually for reasons that are purely accidental — typos, incorrect stats or whatever else.

With yet another weekend of football in the books, there are several more  important lessons we should have learned both in the college ranks and in the NFL. 1) You “instant replay solves everything” people can all bite me…again.
