Poodle is looking to find himself a decent 3-Technique Defensive Tackle. Probably nothing surprising there. What's sent the world into a tizzy is that if you follow this link and read the little sidebar next to the main article, you'll see that someone outside of an actual football program has gone and explained what the hell "3-Technique" actually means. The author of this little blurb lets the masses behind the curain with: The "3-technique" describes where the defensive tackle lines up ...
Roll Call: T-Minus One Week…
With the season fast approaching, we figured it's a good time to take a look at what other sites are featuring on this Friday, the 25th of August, The Year of Our Lord 2006. The Guys at BGS did a wonderful breakdown of hype and broken dreams from the 2002 Recruiting Class "Top 100". The Sunday Morning QB gets all Myth Busters up on "Death Valley" The folks at EDSBS commit an act of self-flagellation. The House That Rock Built has a really nice podcast up. That's it for now, as I ...
ESPN: We’ll Hype Anything
ESPN has decided to stop focusing on the negative and start spinning on the positive in all aspects of College Football. "We feel this will encourage our audience to log on and tune in to our online content and television programming even more. Who likes having their parade rained upon," asks head of Market Research as ESPN, Rob El Robelrobel. As part of this new marketing effort, ESPN has redefined what was once known as a "Quarterback Controversy," calling it either a "Quarterback Tandem" ...
Nation Stunned as Ty Willingham Achieves “Awareness”.
The scientific community as well as the nation at large was stunned this week to learn that Head Coach of The Univeristy of Washington Football Program, Ty Willingham achieved "Awareness". Scientists specializing in the study of Artificial Intelligence point to this article as evidence that Ty has grown "aware" of his position as a coach. Of football. At the collegiate level. The scientists are also investigating the display of apparent forethought Ty showed in actually preparing his team ...
Chan Gailey: “Woe is me.”
In an effort to sap all 15 minutes of fame the Georgia Tech football program is now enjoying as Notre Dame's first victim opponent, they've taped a new television spot you can see here (until I can figure out how to embed these damned videos correctly). It's clear that Chan Gailey has not only learned from Bob Davie the art of Expecations Management, but it seems that the Padawan has surpassed the Master because Chan shows a feel for subtelty in his message, "Holy Crap! Do you have any idea ...
Sam Keller: Clearly Not a Real Man of Genius
Providing example 3,789A of why people are dumb enough to fall for those Nigerian e-mail scams, Sam Keller has fallen prey to another sort of seemingly obvious scam: Bill Callahan's tenure as the Head Football Coach of the University of Nebraska, Middle of Freaking Nowhere (No, really, I mean the absolute middle of FREAKING nowhere). Then again, perhaps Keller figures since he's only got one year of eligibility left anyway, it really doesn't matter that Bill "If You'll Just Give Me Access To ...
Whiskey Fish – The Official Band of the Georgia Tech Game Week
In honor of The Georgia Tech Fan Base's favorite game-time pastime (b/c watching a team that will inevitably win 7 and lose 5 just isn't what it used to be), Her Loyal Sons presents The Official Georgia Tech Game Week Band: Whiskey Fish. ...
Clearly, the NCAA is in Cahoots with the Irish
Well, I don't think word has spread just yet, but I fully expect the blogosphere to melt down in 3..., 2..., 1... The NCAA has reinstated Zibby, making him fully eligible to actually kill someone this season. Thank God Tom Cruise's movies suck and nobody has actually invented The Department of Future Crime, otherwise Zibby might now be locked away in some chamber wearing a tiara, dreaming of pretty things. We figure it's only a matter of time before some poor sucker's OC calls a "Z Post". ...
Anyone Check to See if the “#1” Sill Works?
The Sunday Morning QB has picked us #1! Feel free to read why you shouldn't be too excited about that. As you can see, we sorta just fell into place in a year of "what the hell happened to USC?" Basically, SMQ just thinks these are more easily-overcome problems than Ohio State's emerging-from-the-crib defense, Auburn's size against the run and inexperienced O-line, Texas' pack of freshman quarterbacks, Florida's whimpering babes on the offensive line and in the secondary, SC's unavoidable ...
“The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.†– B.S.
Charlie released the freshmen to the media for a little mini-media day. Or is it more that he released the media onto the freshmen? As will be the case always, or until they start charging for it after you've had a few free hits, whichever comes first, you can see video footage here. Overall, the guys handled themselves quite well. ...
