Sorry Tex, unscheduled rant coming... Excuse me, WHAT THE HELL IS KATIE COURIC DOING? The whole world should be calling her out for the BS she displayed yesterday. Not gonna? Okay then, I will. Thanks Katie, for getting me back into RANT MODE. Don't get me wrong, I actually thought 95% of her interview was decent. It wasn't soft, she asked some tough questions, but those questions deserved to and needed to be asked. For her to look at all professional, and to give Manti a chance to answer ...

Friday Roundup: The “There Are No Baby Viruses” Edition
Whew. If your kid comes home from daycare or school with a "low-grade fever and minor vomiting," lock them in a room, plug your ears, and just hide your sorry butt from that "baby virus" because if it enters your body it skips "adult virus" altogether and enters "HULK SMASH VIRUS KILL DEATH TOILET CRY" territory in about 24 hours and will camp out in your blood stream for 5 days. The Roundup: Missouri apparently would really like to keep their coach. Somehow I don't think the assistant ...
Friday Roundup: The “Evening” Edition
Sorry I'm late. It's practically quitting time for you east-coasters, or, as I like to call you, "41% of our readership." "...I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..." The Roundup: You've already read this, and don't worry. I didn't get the "Captain Insano" thing either. That's funny. I don't remember Pete ever benching Reggie Bush. Well, it certainly didn't look like some highly touted offensive system either. Apparently Kansas isn't worried about the football ...
Friday Roundup: The “Can You Take Me Higher” Edition
A Stanford fan took the time to compile a highlight video of Stanford's win over San Jose State. 1) San Jose State. 2) Creed? Seriously? Creed? Can't wait for the Washington highlight reel featuring Nickleback. The Roundup: Think nobody's noticing the ridiculous behavior of the Indiana Excise Police? NBC's John Walters (an ND alum) has noticed. Sunday, the 19th — A South Bend police department alcohol task force arrests 57 underage Notre Dame students for alcohol ...
Friday Roundup: The “As Schizoid as Ever” Edition
I spent a good portion of this week digging through MSU statistics, trying to find something compelling about which I might write a post. No go. The only thing interesting about their numbers is that their numbers are all over the map. They're 5 and 7 since beating the Irish in 2007, and all of their losses came by 7 points or fewer. Sort of interesting until you start looking at how the games actually went. In some, they were down by as much as 24. In others, they just traded off the lead ...
Friday Roundup: The “You Gotta Believe” Edition
You've heard it on the interwebs a hundred times this week. You need to hear it again. The Roundup: The guys at BGS are feeling very left-brained. Or they're feeling right-brained with lefty tendencies. Or something. DomerLaw has got the hang of this Michigan (sucks!) thing. Subway reminds me of how much I love Cabella's even though I only hunt on their video games. Note to ND's OL, be the bear. Sometimes, 4 turnovers leads to nearly losing to SDSU. Other times, it leads ...
Beer Of The Week: Redhook Late Harvest
Because it's football season! Woo hoo! Dash the shandies upon the ground and stock up on the fall flavors! About the beer. ...
Friday Roundup: The “That’s About Sums It Up” Edition
Well, we've covered the SEC, the ACC, the Big 12, and the Pac-10 conferences in some special-edition roundups that last few weeks. Sure, we could go on and do more conference-centric roundups of the lesser conferences like the MAC or Big Televen, but really, who cares about the lesser conferences? So here we are, with actual writing about actual college football to share with you. The Roundup: Who knew skin irritation could affect one's hype? Ah, the team-haircut. It falls under ...
