The NCAA is a very busy organization, but they always seem to find the time to make terrible decisions (especially where football is considered), such as preventing a player from accepting endorsement money needed to compete in the Olympics in a completely different sport or adding meaningless bowl games that make the post-season feel less […]

 Pete Carroll yelled at me.  There I was, standing on the steps of USC’s physical education building on a cool summer night, exhausted after a long day of orientation spent touring the campus and learning about the classes I’d be taking that fall, and being more or less forced to attend a “Spirit Rally.”  Imagine […]

-two interceptions thrown by Auburn’s back-up quarterback, one on […]

After ten years of moderate to great success, the heads at Texas Tech have fired Mike Leach “for cause” over allegations that he secluded wide receiver Adam James in a dark closet when he refused to practice following a mild concussion.  There’s still a lot to be determined in the case, the main thing being […]

I did not see the IMAX film, but even from just watching the preview I could tell that, had he lived, MJ’s new concert would have been epic.  There’s no possible way I would have ever got tickets, so really it not happening doesn’t affect me that much.  Still, the world would […]
