This week, SI.com is featuring Christine Conley, Cheerleader, UGA as their Cheerleader of the Week. The problem I have is not so much that Christine comes off as a bit, well, stereotypical. It's just that SI.com actually creates this "content." And that's a bit creepy considering that the large majority of college football fans are probably quite a bit older than Christine Conley, and a feature about the young lass allowing old, creepy guys to get to know her better seems a little off. Sure, ...

Timmy! is Making Waves at Florida
And columnist Mike Freeman of CBS Sportsline is rocking the boat because of it. EDSBS is not happy to see The Turtle being given an ad hominem wedgie, and so they strike back at Freeman in gory fashion. All that's missing is the grainy black and white film and some chocolate syrup for blood. I must increase this bust! ...
Steve Spurrier: I’m A Psycopath. Come Work For Me!
This weekend, in a move to encourage top assistant coaches and recruits to join the University of South Carolina football team, Steve Spurrier invited his assistant coach/defensive backs coach, Ron Cooper, to join Steve for the post-game press conference this weekend. The move was apparently made by Spurrier in an effort to stop taking all the glory of USC football for himself and to spread the love. Unfortunately, the media wasn't prepared for this event, so Spurrier had to ask Ron a few ...
Friday Roundup
I was at work late last night, and so I decided to try ESPN's gamecast of the NC State/FSU game, because, given their performances this season, these teams were in for a shootout! And man, watching the game in sub-Tecmo Bowl definition was awesome! FSU reminds me of my 8th grade Pee Wee team without all the execution. Anyone get the feeling Bobby Bowden's one son who can't get a head coaching job for reasons other than being a corrupt soul learned his play-calling skills from ...
So What’s Happened To Miami (Not Ohio)? Maybe They Moved To Florida…
EDSBS has the story of how: Florida Player and best defensive tackle, Marcus Thomas gets suspended for smoking weed. Again. Lil' Marcus appeals suspension. Committee considers appeal and decides "it was all just a big misunderstanding, that whole 'you have drugs in your bloodstream' thing." Floyd Landis starts making calls to see if he can work with this committee. Lil' Marcus gets to play in Florida's biggest game of the 2006 season. Heartwarming. At least it validates what ...
T.O. Writes Children’s Book…Paris Hilton Opens Daycare
HLS has uncovered the real reason behind Terrell Owen's recent suicide attempt...to promote his new children's book of course. Yes, you read that right, man-child role-model Terrell Owens is writing a children's book titled Little T Learns To Share. Soon to be bankrupt publiser, BenBella Books, had this to say about the project: "The book uses adorable illustrations and rhyming text to show one boy learning to share his new football with friends" as a means of "sharing with children the ...
FSU Reveals New Uniforms Paying Tribute to Mascot. NCAA’s Myles Brand’s Head Explodes.
As if Myles Brand wasn't having a bad enough day when someone up in Washington finally asked him, what the hell is it that the NCAA does, again? Now, flying in the face of Brand's personal crusade to destroy all that is great about college football efforts to eliminate politically incorrect elements from college football, FSU is playing up it's Seminole identity with new uniforms that will be worn during their game with Boston College. Boston College! Ha! That's hysterical! Why would ...
ESPN’s Mike & Mike to Sing “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Shower in Beer
SOUTH BEND, Ind.--The Linebacker Lounge, a popular seedy bar located southeast of Notre Dame Stadium, is preparing to host ESPN's popular metrosexual morning sports talk show, "Mike & Mike in the Morning". The show, hosted by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, rolls into South Bend Friday morning, certainly on the shoulders of some influence from Golic, a former Notre Dame football player. And the piano sounds like a carnival! And the microphone smells like a beer! HLS was lucky enough to ...
Auburn Gameplan Stolen: HLS Identifies Perp
Apparently a laptop containing the Auburn offensive gameplan was stolen from the team hotel while everyone was celebrating their "beating" of South Carolina. The laptop is valued at - get this - $15,000...I'm guessing the rep that sold that machine made a $13,000 "commission" on the sale. Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville had this to say about the incident: “The police identified him as looking like somebody that they see around the mall all the time,†Tuberville said. “It had nothing ...
Friday Roundup
I can't help but feel a little like this week sort of just flew by and we all missed it due to a long emotional recovery from the MSU game and a relatively uninteresting game with Purdue. Which sorta makes me feel like the Purdue game is the ultimate trap game. Afterall, we're quite aware of the scientific fact that the ramblings and rantings of grown men and women on the blogosphere can and do affect the performances of young men ages 18-23 on the football field (look it up). And Purdue has ...
