It had become pretty clear that Terrelle Pryor wasn’t going to Michigan. He wouldn’t choose the side of righteous and good, that was apparent. He wasn’t necessarily going to choose evil, though. He could have still ended up at Penn State, which would have been delightfully neutral choice. But instead, Terrelle Pryor chose “University of […]

Super Tuesday was yesterday. Screw Super Tuesday. Whoever the President is, it will in no way affect the next four years of my life as much as where Terrelle Pryor goes to college. You see, Terrelle Pryor is apparently the greatest thing to ever happen to football. And he had narrowed his choice of […]

Pete Carroll is expected to be offered the positions of Falcons head coach, general manager, and quarterback.
Because USC terrifies me, I was excited to hear that Pete Carroll may be heading to Atlanta. But I remained suspicious; I remained wary. Why would Pete Carroll leave the comfort of USC to go to a team that […]

JaMarcus Russell is awesome, that is all.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no clear photographic evidence of Troy Smith wearing a red Lacoste polo. Troy Smith has an exceptionally ballsy sense of irony to wear a shirt with a little alligator on it after last year.

Eauxhieaux State lost decidedly in the BCS Championship beauxwl game, just like in Eaux Seven. Louisiana State is now the the first team to win two BCS National Championships. LSU found itself down ten to zereaux early in the game, but responded with an thirty-one to zereaux run of their eauxwn to put the game […]

Or at least it appeared that way. I was fine with the similar jerseys before, but the red alternates? I think this may be going to far.
At least the white jerseys have different colored numbers.
But now it just starts to get eerie.
They even have an ink-less Shockey of their own.

That I did not expect to happen. Not at all. USC winning the Rose Bowl handily. Utterly predictable. Hawaii having no shot to hang with Georgia. Essentially inevitable. But Michigan beating Florida? I did not expect that at all.
Michigan has had trouble all year (and a few of the previous) with running quarterbacks, and apparently […]

Last night’s Motor City Bowl might officially be a victory for the Purdue Boilermakers, but I think the real winner here is the American football watching populace who have had more exposure to the glory that is Dan LeFevour, the MAC’s answer to Tim Tebow.
LeFevour threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns and ran for […]

- Brett Favre broke another record. Per their contract with the NFL, my local CBS affiliate was required to show the highlight incessantly, even if it meant missing the Miami Dolphins win in overtime. But Brett Favre has another career record.
- That Dolphins win wasn’t that surprising, as the Ravens-post-Patriots collapse continues. It really brings […]

Baton Rouge, Lousiana
A cell phone rings, plays “Born on the Bayou.” A man wakes up, looks at the clock. He sighs audibly, looks at his phone, and grudgingly answers.
Les Miles: Hello?
[Unintelligible Sounds from other line.]
Miles: Hello?
Other line [loud]: LES!
Miles: Yes?
Other line [louder]: LLLLLLLESSSSSSS!
Miles: Bill?
Bill Martin: Les! What happening?
Miles: It’s three-thirty in […]

- I would recommend ignoring the Patriots, so as not to further anger them. I mean, even the Brady was fired up. (Although, I should not that Tom Brady is so cool that when he was jawing he was just resting his hands in his muff, like it was no big deal.) But I realized […]

Yahoo! Sports Ahab-like zeal was on display once again, as they reported that Don Yaeger and Jim Henry will be publishing a book that goes into sordid detail about Reggie Bush’s improper benefits at USC.
Nearly two years after Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy, a book detailing improper benefits he allegedly received while playing […]

Sweet Fancy Moses, a play in which the quarterback hands the ball off to a player going in one direction, who then in turn hand the ball off to another player going into the opposite direction is not a double reverse. It is a single reverse. You see, the ball reversed direction a single time. […]

- So, the Les Miles thing happened exactly as I thought and hoped it would. (I prefer Brian Kelly for the Michigan job and thought it would be in Les Miles’ interest to stay at LSU) And yet, I was extremely excited on Saturday morning and extremely disappointed by the end of the day. I […]

Tom Osborne has named himself interim head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Fantastic news. It just leaves me with one question. When does the 1997 Sears National Championship Trophy get shipped to Ann Arbor?
Nothing says excellence like Sears.
As you may or may not remember, in 1997, undefeated Michigan was ahead of undefeated Nebraska in […]

More leftover pigskinnery: The Lloyd Carr retirement.
Lloyd Carr retired a week ago, and the search for his replacement goes on. (More on that later.) But until then, it’s time for reflection. And so, the Llegacy. Coach Carr will be remembered — by me at least — for these three things.
1. The 1997 National Championship season. […]

Because of technical difficulties and federal holidays of giving thanks, I’ve been absent from blog county for a week. Thusly, today I’ll be forcing all of Thanksgiving week into a single day’s worth of posts. It will be just like the sandwich I made out of all the leftovers. (Note: Pumpkin pie’s taste is surprisingly […]
