On Second Thought

Maybe Colt McCoy was Princess Leia, forced to watch helplessly as the Emperor, Darth Vader, and the Death Star mercilessly destroyed her home planet.  OF COURSE the Death Star can blow up a defenseless planet that is not prepared for what’s coming.  That’s not even fair.
My heart went out for Leia when she lost her […]

Colt McCoy is Luke Skywalker

(An unrelated sport, but too awesome of a pic not to use.)
Not too long ago, a friend and I realized that Colt McCoy looks a lot like Luke Skywalker.  Apparently we’re not the only ones who’ve thought this, as another site has already pointed it out. But their comparison stops at the physical appearance.  We […]

Auburn/Northwestern, Game of the Year

I know it was only the first game of 2010, but how can you ask for anything more from a game that included the following:
*A quarterback named Kafka.
*NINE turnovers, among them…

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

“This is it.”
-Michael Jackson
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 […]

Unsolved Mysteries: How Can South Florida Go North?

So far in the “Unsolved Mysteries” segments I’ve covered teams from the Big 10, Big 12, SEC, ACC, and PAC-10.  I’d like to close by featuring a team from the Big East: South Florida.  Right now the big story surrounding the university is whether or not head coach Jim Leavitt physically assaulted a player.  But […]

Unsolved Mysteries: The “O” Is Silent…But Deadly

If you’re a big college football fan, chances are you were watching the first game of the season, a Thursday night match-up between Boise State and Oregon on the blue turf.  It became famous not so much for the beat-down the Broncos put on the Ducks but for the post-game incident where Legarrette Blount punched […]

How To Make The Bowl Games Worth Watching

College bowl season officially starts tomorrow, which means the football season is that much closer to being over.  Only 34 games left.  Some of them feature some great match-ups between conferences, something we’re seeing less and less of during the regular season due to teams not wanting to hurt their BCS chances.
But to be honest, […]
