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, ...

Smith vs. Quinn for Heisman (Big Q Got Me Thinking)
He got me thinking real hard. Which is difficult to do. So I ran some analyses comparing OSU's Troy Smith, the runaway Heisman favorite, with our own Brady Quinn. I ran the numbers on performance in basic statistical areas across a few different sets of competition: "Bad Competition" - For Smith this includes Northern Illinois, Cincinnati and Bowling Green and for Quinn this includes Michigan State, Purdue and Stanford. "Good Competition" - Smith played Texas, Penn State and Iowa ...
Conference, Schmonference…
You wont let go, will you? I'm scared. Up until the end of the Arkansas/Auburn game this weekend, everyone's favorite cry-baby, Tommy Potatoville, was setting up the BCS and the NCAA Football Covering Media of the World for an outright OMG!-WE'RE-SO-SCREWED-LOOK-AT-THIS-SCHEDULE-PLAYING-IN-THE-SEC-IS-WEALLY-HAWD campaign. But then the unthinkable happened, and Auburn's hopes for any semblance of a legitimate argument for nomination into the BCS championship game were dashed. Still, while ...
Answer Is: “Yes.”
Trebek: domer.mq? domer.mq: Was this a cheap shot? Trebek: Correct. The board is yours. domer.mq: I'll take "No Shit" for 500, Alex. [youtube]itLfjKed6pY[/youtube] In case ya missed it, UCLA's starting QB won't be around for the ND game. ...
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! ...
Quinn (Not) for The Heisman
Just wanted to direct folks over to IRT's Random Bye Week Thoughts. My personal favorite is point number 2: 2. Speaking of Troy Smith, CBS Sportsline has a hard-on for him. Compare these two statements: Ho-hum, Brady Quinn threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns against Stanford. Are those the type of performances to get Quinn back into the Heisman race? Probably not. He needs to start throwing for 300 yards against the lesser competition. Troy Smith had one of the best games of his ...
I Give Up
Yesterday, Notre Dame football prospect Greg Little held a press conference. Most of the world expected Little to announce he was either going to attend Notre Dame or The University of Basketball at North Carolina. It's a tough choice for the youngster, as he has to choose between two premier football programs: Notre Dame, with more National Championships in College Football than Anyone Else, a Head Coach known to be on the speed-dials of a ton of NFL offices, its own national television ...
Her Loyal Sons Experts’ Picks – Week 6 Results: I’m No Good To Me Dead.
Well, sometimes you shoot from the hip and you shoot first, and you kill a bounty hunter or two. Other times, you end up stuck in carbonite. Sure, right in the middle of the whole series it's not looking too good. But fear not! We've still got another half of the season to go, and if that's not enough to thaw me out, I can always manipulate the rules for the bowl game. I could always handicap the system like they do in NFL Blitz when one team gets too far ahead, thus ensuring that every last ...

Ranking the Rankings. Verdict? Rank.
I'm not quite sure what these voters are looking at. Maybe they like the mascots or the pretty colors of some teams' uniforms, but I thought a breakdown of the Top Ten would be worthwhile. Since the two main polls are fairly similar, I'll just go through the AP Poll. Here are this week's rankings: Week 7 AP Top 10 Ohio State Florida USC Michigan West Virginia Texas Louisville Tennessee Notre Dame California OSU is the Universe's consensus #1, ...
