MomentumMeter: ‘Stache Style

A lot of publications like to compare Weis and Wanny aka The Stache because of their NFL pedigrees, their simultaneous start in CFB, and the fact that they played their first games against one another.
That’s about where the similarities end, at least in the world of the MM! It’s obvious who you want [...]

Friday Roundup: The “Jack-o-Lantern Jealousy” Edition

We moved recently into a much more family-oriented neighborhood than we’ve inhabited in the past. Since there are just a ton of young families in the area, there are also a ton of fully decorated homes for Halloween.

How Conferences Have Ruined College Football

For a while, I’ve been planning to write a long diatribe about how conferences, particularly within the BCS system, have sucked the soul out of college football.

Can Notre Dame Fans Sue Matt Zemek for Libel?

I wont link his latest work. Instead, I’ll link a post containing his work. But here’s the relevant quotation:

Notre Dame fans essentially said, after Willingham left their campus, that if having an African-American head coach means having to swallow a few losing seasons now and then, it’s not worth hiring another African-American coach [...]

They Weren’t Booing. They Were Yelling, “Whooooo Will Replace Him?”

Seen here: Willingham with microphone
in down-position moments before
he moved it to up-position. Again.

Before this weekend, I’d watched at least the majority of 3 other Washington games. Not sure why. I wasn’t really looking to “scout” this team. I suppose I was relishing what could happen when Oklahoma took [...]

At My Signal, Unleash Hell: The UW Gameday Chat

I’ll be in and out all day. May not even be around tonight. I have a tough call between watching ND annihilate Ty at home on HDTV, or sitting in the best beer bar in Chicago for a bachelor party and a brisket sandwich the size of a football helmet. Still trying [...]
