In recent years, it has become increasingly trendy for the media to pump up “mid-major” schools. For instance, in 2003, Trev Alberts fell in love with the MAC proclaiming that the MAC should be a BCS conference and gushing over a mediocre Northern Illinois team. Sure N. Illinois beat Maryland, Alabama, and Iowa St.; however, […]
Football Is Here
The Cocks vs. UCF. This game started in Spurrier like fashion, but sputtered out rather quickly. It would be difficult to say that USC looked good, but Stevie boy definitely still knows how to coach quarterbacks. New starter Blake Mitchell (soph.) completed 78% of his passes for 332 yards and 3 TD’s. However, USC averaged […]
Devastation Down South
Football season is finally here, but this is not a football entry. Although I generally spend more time and energy than I like to admit focused on football, it’s honestly pretty hard for me to get excited right now. You see, I grew up in the swath of devastation cut by Hurricane Katrina. Though I […]

NCAA and Mascots
I doubt too many of you peruse all the major LSU websites on a regular basis, but I thought that you might find this article on mascots interesting considering NC State’s “mascot prowess” and since the ban impacts the ACC’s fomerly marquee football program. Who knows? One day the NCAA may take this so far […]
Top Teams for 2005
Without taking into account 2005 schedules, here are the best teams going into 2005. USC, LSU, Tennessee, Miami, Texas, and Ohio State are on a different level than everyone else. They are all loaded with talent, and return plenty of key players. Florida State, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Michigan also seemingly have full, talented rosters, but […]
Terry Bowden – Civil Rights Activist?
Does anyone other than Terry Bowden really believe that the reason that there are not more black head coaches is because university presidents are giving in to outspoken alumni and donors who don’t want black coaches? If he said this was a problem in the SEC or in the Southeast in general, then I might […]

Below you’ll find the ESPN experts early season top 25, and my explanation about why its all wrong. I can’t say I’ve done all my research yet, but its not too early to say that these guys are morons. Since I’m not exactly going out on a limb cutting these guys predictions down, I’ll give […]
