What We Learned This Week: Canucks Still Gutless, More Tebow Songs

By ⋅ January 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Sports is supposed to entertain us, maybe help build character, and teach us valuable lessons about life. But it’s often not entertaining, and is filled with characters who still need a lot of building. But what about learning lessons? What have we learned from sports this week? (Week of January 4th through January 11th) 1. [...]

Bowl Mania: Previewing Every College Football Matchup

By ⋅ December 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Gildan New Mexico Bowl (Albuquerque) Temple (8-4) vs. Wyoming (8-4) This is a surprisingly strong game to open the bowl season. These are both legitimately “good” teams. I wish them well. Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise) Ohio (9-4) vs. Utah State (7-5) This game is best known for drawing the ire of a punter. As [...]

BCS Top 25 (Week 15): The Game of The Century, Part II

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU It is not much of a stretch to say that LSU should have been losing 21-0 to Georgia in the SEC Championship. When Tyrann Mathieu returned a punt for a touchdown to make it 10-7, I knew Georgia was done. The fact that the Tigers went on to win 42-10 is a testament [...]

BCS Top 25 (Week 14): YAWN! Virginia Tech Boring at No. 5

By ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU I’ve seen all I need to see from LSU. If the NCAA inexplicably decided to end the season today and crown LSU the champion, I would be completely in favor of it. The SEC Championship and BCS Championship don’t even matter to me, because I am that sure LSU is the best team [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 13): SEC West Domination

By ⋅ November 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU On “Let’s give Alabama a second chance at the BCS Championship Saturday,” LSU stayed strong. I think they’re kinda decent. If anyone’s going to beat them it will be Arkansas, but at the moment I’m having trouble seeing it happen. 2. Alabama Bold statement time: an SEC West school will compete in the [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 12): Oregon Back in Top 5

By ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

1. LSU How vast is the talent gap between Alabama and Western Kentucky? Did LSU even have to try this week? Whoever scheduled that game is brilliant. The Tigers absolutely needed some rest after the massive clash two weeks ago. 2. Oklahoma State As much as I would love for losses by the top teams [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 11): LSU Reigns, ‘Bama Falls to No. 3

By ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU The Game of The Century? Probably not. It was definitely a classic though. Marquis Maze might beg to differ, but I was riveted. 2. Oklahoma State If you combined LSU-Alabama and Oklahoma State-Kansas State, you would have had an average football game. 3. Alabama We can’t possibly have a rematch in the BCS [...]

Game of the Century: No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Alabama

By ⋅ November 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s time. LSU vs. Alabama is finally here. How big is this game? Sportscenter has allocated 89 percent of its morning shows this week to covering this game (approximately). There was a segment Thursday in which they offered comparative analysis of the rooms in which coaches speak with new recruits, and not only did it [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 10): Houston, Case Keenum at No. 13

By ⋅ November 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU 2. Alabama How perfectly has this matchup been set up this season? At the beginning of the season, the SEC West emerged as the country’s most difficult division. These two teams then almost immediately separated themselves from the rest of the country. It was apparent early on that they were the class of [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 9): Clemson Roars into Top 5

By ⋅ October 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU IT. IS. ON.  We’ve been circling this game for weeks (months?), and now there is nothing in the way of the epic 1 vs. 2 matchup between LSU and Alabama. The Bayou Bengals haven’t just dominated teams this season, they’ve demoralized them. Even though they’ve played an impressive selection of schools that includes [...]

Twitterverse Fallout: LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu Suspended

By ⋅ October 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

What a crazy day in Baton Rouge. The Daily Reveille, the LSU student-run newspaper, first reported that Heisman candidate Tyrann Mathieu has been suspended for this weekend’s game against Auburn. Mathieu, along with starting running back Spencer Ware and starting cornerback Tharold Simon, were suspended after they reporedly failed a drug test. The details are [...]

The BCS Top 25 (Week 8): Cowboys Sitting at No. 4.

By ⋅ October 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Quick note: with the release of the BCS rankings this week, the Top 25 wrap-up will be based on those rankings from here on out. The biggest change will be my shift from complaining about stupid voters to complaining about flawed algorithms. Let’s get to it.

The AP Top 25 (Week 7): Kansas State Sneaks Up Rankings

By ⋅ October 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU (40) How dare they give up points to the then-17th ranked Florida Gators. I was once again disappointed that they did not get the shutout. With that said, they seem like they’re playing with more than 11 defenders. Their defense is awesome, and I mean that in the most literal sense. 2. Alabama [...]

The AP Top 25 (Week 6): Wisconsin Jumps into the Top 5

By ⋅ October 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU (40) I was legitimately disappointed that LSU couldn’t hold on to the shutout this week. Kentucky never had a chance against them. Assuming they keep winning, the Tigers’ matchup with Alabama looks like it will be the game of the season. LSU doesn’t have an easy schedule in the interim though, with games [...]

The AP Top 25 (Week 5): LSU Claims Top Spot

By ⋅ September 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. LSU (42) Not even one week can go by without LSU being involved in a rankings flip-flop with another winning team. It was justified this week though. Their defense is truly terrifying, and their team speed causes problems all over the place. I still have trouble believing Les Miles can win another BCS Championship, [...]
