Bobby Petrino wont get to threaten to leave Louisville ever again. He's finally actually gone and done it. First matter of business, figuring out how to ditch Mike Vick. Update: HeyJennySlater has an idea so karmicly perfect, I had to add a link to it. Update Part Deux: HereComesTheSun at NDN points out what a clusterfuck this is for the BCS: Look for West Virginia to make the title game every year. Update Part Threeux:Â Louisville bloggers are feeling "betrayed" and "like a ...

Friday Roundup: Irish Wake Edition
It still hurts. The Roundup: Bob Davie is sitting tall on his high horse today after the Irish got their butts whooped by LSU. Apparently Davie forgot his own personal records at ND, including the fact that he had the worst single-season start in the history of the program, or that he lost a Fiesta Bowl appearance by some ridiculous score to powerhouse Oregon State 17,245-9 - and it wasn't even that close. Hey Bob, how's that coaching career working out these days? Oh. Meanwhile, ...
And Knowing Is Half The Battle
After a nice chunk of "serious" bowl game action, we now know the following: I hate Dodge Trucks with the fury of a gigantic robot boxer. I feel an undeniable urge to purchase a Chevy truck. I also feel an irresistible urge to run John Mellencamp over with said truck. The Big 12 sucks to no end and should lose "BCS Conference" status as a result. Colorado may have gotten the wrong guy. ND avoided a big problem by not doing what Colorado did. In about 5 weeks, the afterglow will ...
“Is This Hell?” “No. It’s Idaho.”
I love this. I think the Miami players would be happier in hell. I also think a few of them will be there shortly. BOISE, Idaho — Bowl games are meant to be rewards to players for a successful season. But it has become apparent, even comical, that after a disappointing 6-6 season, Miami's "reward" was a trip to Boise, Idaho, for a few days of practices and a game on a blue field in freezing temperatures with a little snow mixed in. Temperatures are expected to be in the 20s for ...
Friday Roundup: Get Your Donations In
Did you forget to donate to the University so you can apply for a chance to get shafted in the football ticket lottery in 2007? Well, get them donations in! Time's a'wastin'! The Roundup: The guys at BGS have a bit more info on our recent super-stud safety commit, Harrison Smith. Man is he fast. I can't wait for him to put an end to the possession-safety myth like Shark has done for the possession receiver myth. EDSBS has their "purely for entertainment" picks up for most of the ...
He Left His Heart in San Fran Cheesy

You Have Died of Dysentery
Somehow it just seems appropriate that folks from Missouri are suffering from illness as they work their way towards Oregon... State. Er, ok. I'm stretching it here. Still, I freaking always died of dysentery somewhere around Missouri when playing Oregon Trail. I'll bet Missouri's coach tried to ford the river. Never ford the river. Pay the exorbitant prices for the ferry and don't die via uncontrollable bowel discharge. Live! Live so that you might one day die of cardiac arrest from ...
tOSU Fans Remortgaging Trailer Homes for 5th Time To Attend BCS Championship
Ticket prices are getting out of hand for Florida and tOSU fans in their quest to attend the BCS Champiohship game this year. Apparently someone forgot to tell the market that tOSU is probably gonna blow out Florida. Tickets are going for up to 5,000 buckaroos. Clearly, the market isn't rational, because if it were, the market would not sustain such prices. Consider, if you will, the opportunity costs associated with $5000 ticket prices for both tOSU and Florida fans: Flordia: 1 BCS ...
Gary Barnett Can’t Find a Job. There is a God.
Former Colorado football coach Gary Barnett is crying in his beer after a college football hiring season has essentially passed, and, despite Barnett shouting from on high that he was available and interested, he didn't receive one single phone call from a hiring program. Some might say that's sort of sad for the old guy. We say it's awesome. Barnett looking for a second chance is the college football version of Jeffrey Dahmer pleading for someone to just try a little harder to understand ...
