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 ...
Things That Suck
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!" ...
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 ...
College Football World to Other Guy: “Man, how much must NC State Suck?”
To Review: Notre Dame > Penn State > Akron > NC State Makes this even better. I'm the man. ...
Paterno: “Um, about that whole ‘discipline’ and ‘rules’ thing… F&%K It.”
Showing that even an undead, ancient relic can have a total disregard for his own rules and principles when they are no longer convenient, Joe Pa's gonna let BranDon "Big D" Snow play in this weekend's game with Notre Dame. No way their juggernautalicious rushing performance against the Zips has anything to do with this. Quoth the Penn State Scout site: "At Penn State Media Day in early August, Nittany Lion coach Joe Paterno said veteran fullback BranDon Snow would miss at least the team's ...
We Hate The New Clock Rules!
And so, apparently, do a lot of people. If you're like us, and also hate the new clock rules, then after you contact the NCAA personally (see post from yesterday), then go here and sign the petition. A sampling of other people who hate the new clock rules... Santa Claus: "This new clock rule? What a bitch." Paris Hilton: "The new clock rule? So not hot." Andre The Giant: "Were I alive now, I'd sign the petition. And then I'd crack some NCAA skulls." ...
Willingham v. French, DEATH NOT OPTION
Well the Floridian winner (Andrew Kim French) who left a racially charged phone message for former ND head coach Tyrone Willingham pleaded guilty today. The judge slapped him with a $2000 fine and placed him on probation for another year. My favorite piece of all this is his "defense": "French has said he was drunk, under peer pressure and not using good judgment when he made the 3 a.m. call and left a message for Willingham... ... His attorney, Robert Truitt, said French had matured a ...
