Once again, the balance of power in the Big Eleven Ten lies in ruins. Once again, the Ohio State Penitentiary University starts a campaign highly-ranked, only to suffer a big early season loss. Of course, these shifts in the balance of power occur because tOSPU dominates the Big Eleven Ten landscape in much the same… Read More Inglourious Buckeyes – The Tarantino View of Ohio State
Two things that everybody will be talking about around the Tuesday morning water cooler: LeGarrette Blount’s knuckles and Sam Bradford’s shoulder. Sure, those are the headlines from the opening weekend of college football, but they threaten to overshadow some other stories that need to be heard as well as some factors within those two tales… Read More College Football Week 1 – Stuff That Will Get Overlooked But Shouldn’t
It used to be when you thought of scary places in Indiana, your mind went right to Gary. Not the Gary of “Music Man” fame; the Gary that hangs like an infected hemorrhoid from the inflamed rectum of Chicago, the place that produced really scary guys like Joe Jackson and “Mongo.” But the epicenter of… Read More Watch Your Ass in Bloomington – Indiana Has “The Pistol”
Man, where do I begin with this one? Is it their psychopathic asshole legendary coach who got fired for slugging an opposing player? Is it the fact that they have made a completely ridiculous tradition of some tuba player who is usually so fat it is a miracle they can still bend over? Is it… Read More Teams That Grind My Gears: The Ohio State Buckeyes
“I got screwed hard up on Rocky Top…” The crybabies at the University of Tennessee are at it again; they believe Heisman voting has historically been unfair to them. They believe this so fervently that the Volunteer athletic department is peppering the south with billboards and engaging in a public relations campaign promoting safety Eric… Read More Teams That Grind My Gears: The Tennessee Volunteers
The University of Wisconsin, the epicenter of higher learning in the same state that brought you tail-gating in sub-zero weather drinking some sort of homemade concoction from a plastic jug, has determined that exposure to alcohol is not healthy for their legions of fans. So, in their higher wisdom, they have discontinued beer ads during… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Wisconsin Bans Beer Ads During Football Games
If nothing else, the Ohio State Penitentiary University has for far too long been amongst the elite of the Big Eleven Ten. Thanks to the “Crazed Librarian,” since 2002 the Buckeyes sport a 47-9 mark in conference play, leading to five conference titles and a national championship. In short, tOSPU has been a royal pain… Read More The Paterno Formula for Beating Ohio State
Joe Paterno has spent a lot of the last decade being hassled by officials and listening to a lot of “old” jokes. We all know every referee in the conference has had it out for JoePa ever since he was hanging effigies of them on the front door of his house (don’t think every PSU fan in… Read More Penn State ’09 – Let the Seal-Clubbings Begin
Apparently, there is a rule in the blogosphere that says if you tag more than three posts with “college football,” you are required to do a pre-season ranking. Failing to do so can mean having your nose flayed, your genitals set on fire, and having to listen to Lee Corso prattle on endlessly about being… Read More The Dubsism Pre-Season College Football Rankings ‘09
Leave it to Giant Drum A&M Purdue to be the latest school to put names on the backs of the jerseys. And Brandon King is all for it (from JConline) “It’s cool, isn’t it? I like it,” King said. “People won’t just say, ‘Hey, No. 7!’ We all get that. ‘Can I get your wristband,… Read More Of Course, This Assumes Basic Literacy in Boiler Nation
“Yeah, I’m looking for a Jacques Strap…” OK, time to get serious here, or at least as serious as one can get on a story about funny names. As far as fodder for fun is concerned, I thought there was no way one could beat Kyle Sackrider and Jim Bob Cooter. Man, was I wrong.… Read More The College Football All-Time Name Team
This usually results in some high-octane, power-viewing, all while sneaking in the requisite pigskin reconaissance. Shuffle 30 hours worth of DVR space with a deck of DVDs, and you have a guy on a week-long classic film festival.You also have to plan carefully for just such an event. There are logistics to consider. You must… Read More Signs College Football is Coming Soon
Since we are in August, the month of Ascension before the high holy days of the opening of College Football season, it is only fitting to share a passage from the Book of Paterno. 11 And He said, a certain man had but one successor. 12 And that rather excitable young man said to his… Read More An Excerpt from the Book of Paterno
