After a humiliating loss to the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football, the Oakland Raiders have made an unprecedented move, demoting themselves from the ranks of the NFL and into the Western Athletic Conference. "I'm really excited about this move," Al Davis, ownner of the former NFL franchise said Tuesday, "We looked for an opportunity to join one of the larger BCS conferences, but the only taker we had was the Big Ten, so we latched onto the WAC instead." The Oakland Raiders ...

A Heart Warming Story Surfaces from Clemson. domer.mq Feels Need to Smash Things.
Sometimes the universe does funny things that confuse and scare me. Today the universe has decided to produce a great story about Freshman Ray Ray McElrathbey out of Clemson University's Football Program, who is caring for his 11 year old brother all by himself. That's hard enough to get my head around. What's really got me freaked out is that the NCAA went and did the right thing by Ray Ray. So, let me get this straight. Not all Clemson Football players are thugs and not all NCAA ...
Boo-Yah Go Bye Bye?
The Big Lead is reporting that ESPN's "boo yah" era is either dead or dying. The "talent", and John Saunders, are being reshuffled, effectively giving some of their "talent" (and, again, John Saunders) a lower profile on the network. Will this mean that someday soon we will never again see John "The Ty Willingham of Broadcasting" Saunders, Bob "The Red Sox Won It All And I'm Still Bitter" Ryan, Jason "Oooh! Twinkies!" Whitlock, and Mitch "I'll Just Write Another Cheezy Ass Book" Albom (a.k.a. ...

Ralph Friedgen Gives Chase To Ron Zook in Bob Davie’s Dunce Cone Classic…
Ok, so I just made up the name of the compeition. But it may well become a feature here at HLS if we keep finding little nuggets like the items below. And with Ron Zook, Ty Willingham, Chuck Amato, Llloyd Carr, and Chan "Who's Calvin Johnson?" Gailley still coaching at the collegiate level this year, we should have quite a competition on our hands. So here are our first 2 nominees... Apparently Ralph Friedgen and the University of Maryland offered WVU "OMFG HE SO FAST! HERCULES! WOOSH!" ...
Bad Kermit Talks About In-Stadium Experience, Pisses off Friends
CHICAGO---Bad Kermit, poster at the wildly popular website, Herloyalsons.com, angered his peers Sunday by regaling them with stories about his experience in Notre Dame Stadium during the Notre Dame-Penn State game Saturday in South Bend. The Fighting Irish laid a 41-17 pounding on the Nittany Lions, each point of which was watched by Kermit from the 35-yard line of the beautiful confines of Notre Dame Stadium. "I got lucky. I won Southern Cal tickets, my boss really wanted Southern Cal ...
Ohio State Fans are Insane (Not in a Good Way)
So I don't get it. I just don't understand why a nice W against a highly ranked (likely overrated, but that's another post) Texas team leads OSU fans to BURN SHIT! Here's the ESPN article about OSU fans' way of celebrating: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2581868 I just don't get how this happens...hmmm.... "Hey man, we just scored another touchdown, let's go set a couch on fire!!!!" "TOUCHDOWN OSU!!! Sweet, let's go run some people over!!!" "Yo Jimmy, we just caused ...

10 Good Things About Michigan
Man, there are few phrases that so succinctly strike right at the heart of the matter like, "Michigan Sucks." It's so simple. So streamlined. So true. Not only that, but it's just so all-encompassing. I mean, it's not just the one "school" that sucks, but pretty much the entire state. I would try to describe just how much the phrase "Michigan Sucks" actually covers, but since that is such an enormous undertaking, I've decided instead to point out the 10 things that are great about ...
Give Your Loved Ones A Hug Today
We're not going to NOT post items ripping on opponents or placing Charlie Weis on a pedastal today. Afterall, the idea of terrorism is to force people to change the way they live. 5 years after the brutal 9/11 attacks, it's a different world, but not one in which it's impossible to have a little fun. Still, today is a great day to do something to help make the world a little better. Here are a couple of ideas I came up with on my 2.5 hour commute this morning. They aren't all directly ...
