Nine Things We’ve Learned About College Football at the Halfway Point
1) Georgia isn’t as bad as they look.

I understand how losing to a sorry-ass Colorado team can give one cause to wonder, but settle down, Dawg fans.… Read More Nine Things We’ve Learned About College Football at the Halfway Point

Today’s installment involves 10 forms of government and gives a representative example from the sports world. Think of it as a civics… Read More Ten Forms of Government and Their Representative Sports Organizations
Nine Things We’ve Learned From The First Two Weeks of College Football 2010
1) The ACC sucks. When the class of this league all gets beat on one weekend, including a Georgia Tech loss to a sinking Kansas program, and Virginia Tech spitting the bit against James Madison, it is getting safe to say whoever this conference puts in the BCS will be sure to treat us to… Read More Nine Things We’ve Learned From The First Two Weeks of College Football 2010
The Annual Toilet Bowl
Once again we arrive at the annual eye-rape that is Michigan vs. Notre Dame. Remember the good old days when this game featured two good teams?

The BCS Isn’t Perfect, But It’s What We’ve Got…For Now
I will be honest, I’ve waffled more than IHOP when it comes to the subject of a playoff in Division I College Football. To be even more honest, the anti-BCS argument always tends to push me the other way, because the anti-BCS argument is almost always so flawed that I can’t help but see it… Read More The BCS Isn’t Perfect, But It’s What We’ve Got…For Now
