Quick results for CHIKARA's 11th season opener, The Thirteenth Hat
CHIKARA rolled back into Easton, PA this past weekend and kicked off their 11th season which promises to be the biggest year yet for the Philadelphia promotion. Back in November, the "High Noon" season finale saw the company crown Eddie Kingston its first ever Grand Champion after "War King"...
Jay Cutler By The Numbers
Jay Cutler has played a grand total of 31 games in his two years in Chicago. And he's already up among the All Time quarterbacking greats of the franchise. That tells more of a story of how inadequate the Bears have been in finding a guy to play under center than it does to how good Jay Cutler...
The 50 Best Games of the Fulmer Era - #9: In The Downpour
I've heard younger Vol fans compare the dismissal of Phillip Fulmer to the dismissal of Johnny Majors without clearly understanding the circumstances surrounding the latter. Fulmer wasn't retained in the 2008 season, among other reasons, because the program had been in a state of decline for...
Kyle Gets Contrary: Why Urban Meyer's "You're Not a Gator" Remarks Were a Big Deal
Given the civility of our earliest debate, the last thing I want to do is get contrary with Dr. Saturday (who backed me up on Jacksonville and writes glowingly of Mark Richt), particularly over something that happened weeks ago. Nevertheless, I have some issues---some, mind you---with the good...
Friday News and Notes: 'Cocks Win First against UGA and More
USC beats UGA 7-2 to open the regular season finale series against the Dawgs. The heroes for the day were Sam Dyson, who pitched a complete game and had 13 Ks, and Nick Ebert, who hit a grand slam. The win puts us in good position to win the series, take 2nd in the East, and improve our seeding for...
Talking points: Urban Meyer's Chilling Effect
Abbreviated Talking Points this morning, as I try to put a monster project to bed: Object lesson No. 1. This is the coolest difference between the mainstream media and blogging. Rather than spending a bunch of time re-telling the story about Lane Kiffin attacking his own for context of a new...
I Don't Understand the Off Season News Cycle
Look, I understand everyone's needs for filler material during the off season. Coverage of college football has become a beast that demands food every day now, regardless of whether games are actually going on. As a blogger, I'm lucky. I can fall back on doing stat analysis and critiquing other...
Can (SEC) Coaches Please, Please Shut Up?
First it was Lane Kiffin, who has spread his own personal brand of oral diarrhea so far over the South that there's a back order of Shop-Vacs. Now, not to be outdone by his BFF at Tennessee, Urban Meyer decides that he too can make himself look just as foolish by openly lambasting former Gator QB...
Urban Should Let Sleeping Gators Lie
When I wrote about Shane Matthews criticizing the Gators (and Urban Meyer specifically) in January, I wasn't sure about noting it because I kept thinking it was much ado about nothing. After all, the 2008 Gators are the best team in school history and were playing for a National Championship....
Shane Matthews Needs To Get Over Himself
I am not a Good Ol' Boy Gator, so I have no attachment to Shane Matthews or really any player pre-Wuerffel (sorry Terry Dean). Which is why I get upset when I see Matthews criticize the Gators' offense. From Mark Schlabach's ESPN column this week... "The first couple of years, I wasn't sure the...
