If for no other reason, those kids have no future. The following story more than illustrates that. When Urban Meyer decided to take the Ohio State job less… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Spurrier Urban Wiley
1) This Tebow Thing Is Now Officially Out of Control I watched the last three minutes of that Bears-Broncos game last night, and I still don’t believe what I saw.

But the hype hides the unbelievable… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend In Football 12/10/2011
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. These picks are noted, despite the fact that never happened; only Miami (FL) took itself out of bowl consideration. That’s not an excuse… Read More The Dubsism 2011-2012 College Football Bowl Matchups: I Was So Wrong Now My Wife Thinks She Knows More Than I Do
1) Stick a Fork in ‘Em… The Philadelphia Eagles Turkeys are Done Just by taking the Sgt. Joe Friday approach (“Just the facts”), one can see it is time to blow up this thing in Philadelphia.

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. There’s the guys who bought it before we ever published the inaugural death watch issue. 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

1) This Year, the Entire BCS Argument is Moot Name a team outside of the SEC that can beat Alabama, LSU, or Arkansas…I’m waiting… 2) We Sort Of Forgot About Miami I think we all know why the scandal that gripped Hurricane football dropped off our collective radars. But now,for some reason, the University of… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 11/19/2011
Last night, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski became college basketball’s all-time winningest coach, notching his 903rd career victory. This is a accomplishment worthy of note, and Coach K deserves the accolades being heaped upon him today. But before you think I am one of those willing to put him on a pedestal, you might want to consider… Read More Despite Mike Krzyzewski’s Accomplishment, I Still Don’t Have Any Respect For Him
“If we as a society cannot protect our children, then we are pathetic.” – Matt Millen, Penn State DT 1976-1979 So…this is how it ends. As I wake up today; the first day in my 43 years in which Joe Paterno is not the head coach at Penn State, I can’t help but ask myself… Read More The Lesson We Desperately Need To Learn From the Penn State Situation
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of our File Dump, we here at Dubsism believe that when we have just too many good jokes about somebody that we haven’t gotten around to using, and then their career is over, we just can’t let all that good material go to waste. According to several… Read More File Dump: The Houston Nutt Edition
1) The Penn State Situation I’m not going to get into the minutia of this disgusting affair now, if for no other reason than I want to see if somebody hits the nail on the head about why this played out the way it did. As horrible as this story is, there is also a… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend In Football 11/5/2011 – The “I Can’t Believe This Is Happening” Edition
We here at Dubsism, in our ever-present search for the absurd, have come up with photographic proof that Vikings’ defensive end had a career in movies before he became the most over-rated player in professional football. Go back to the 1988 college football recruiting classic “Johnny Be Good.” Look for the character “Bad Breath.” The… Read More BREAKING NEWS: Jared Allen’s Early Film Career Discovered
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
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
One of the running bits here as Dubsism has been to chronicle some of the lesser-known, albeit tremendous moments in the career of the greatest coach in the history of college football, Joe Paterno. In honor of his 408th career win (tying Paterno with Grambling legend Eddie Robinson), we thought this would be the perfect… Read More Great Moments in Joe Paterno History: “GET THAT SHIRT PULLED DOWN!”
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
Time for some brutal honesty, Boiler Nation. Nobody (and I mean NOBODY) looks at their football schedule and circles the Purdue date; knees knocking with fear. Why is that? After all, Purdue is an original member of the Big Ten and does have a rich football tradition. Hell, you can’t watch a Purdue game without… Read More This Is Why Nobody Fears Purdue Football
1) Minnesota might be the worst BCS Conference team I’ve seen since…well, Minnesota The good news is the Golden Gophers found the end zone this week, and they didn’t need a Sherpa guide to do it. The bad news is both of their trips to paydirt came after they were already down by six touchdowns,… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 10/9/2011
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. Not… Read More Comcast Is Simply Following the Truth in Advertising Laws
Yes, you read that correctly…From the good people at Bad Jocks.com, it seems the sister of Notre Dame’s starting quarterback decided Saturday night’s game at Ross-Ade Stadium was a good time to kick some Boilermaker butt.
