One topic that arose in […]
Scoop’s Rape Scene & Peter King
Scoop has clearly convinced Page 2 editors that proofreading is a form of racism. Earlier in the month we told you about the great new blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber. Earlier this week KSK hit a friggin home run for the 99% of the readers out there that hate Terrell Owens &/or “Scoop” Jackson. This entry […]
4 Reasons Big 4 = Bottom 4
Link to Dave Glenn’s blog entry on the four reasons why the Big 4 = The Bottom 4 in football over the last 25 years. 1. Snowball Effect/Expansion. 2. Bad Demographics.

Fascinating Idea (Update @ Noon – New Football League
In the same vein of mixing sports and business and The Big 12 Network comes a new football league that are going to be connected to, and play at college campuses. We’ve heard rumblings about folks at NC State being a little fearful of having a little too much debt connected to renovations at Carter-Finley […]
Tarheel Football Recruiting Not All Roses
A lot has been made of UNC-CH’s recent football recruiting ‘prowess’ on internet message boards and recruiting sites.

LOL! Leave it to Lee!
There is not very much in this “Q&A with John Swofford” of that much value. But, of course, we couldn’t help ourselves when we saw the ‘chosen’ Athletics Director running his mouth in the public forum about the conference’s finances.
