What’s that eight foot tall mechanical motherfucker on stilts lurking underneath Torgersen Bridge? That’s right, Hokietron is back. Make haste pissants.

See more Hokietron here and here.

Please cheer up. Update: She is blind which makes this video 100% less funny and me a total asshole.

You know the deal. Tell me why I’m wrong in the comments and leave any/all of your picks there too.

34. Emerald: Boston College-Southern Cal
Skinny: USC has superior talent, more experienced coaches and home field advantage. Maybe Jeff and Brian can take a mancation from their wives and give me a reason to feel good about BC’s chances.

33. Sugar: Florida-Cincinnati
Skinny: The Gators could very well be the second best team in the country and Urban Meyer will have them motivated. It’ll be interesting to see if Tony Pike can carve up the Florida defense and secondary.

0b100000. Orange: Iowa-Georgia Tech
Skinny: The Ramblin’s Wreck is gaining 307 rushing yards a game while the Hawkeyes are only allowing 122 rushing yards a game.

31. Liberty: Arkansas-East Carolina
Skinny: Ryan Mallet is only second to D’Angelo Barksdale when it comes to slingin’ the rock.

30. Hawaii: Nevada-SMU
Skinny: June Jones will be too busy watching his back to focus on the game.

I hope there’s a Thuggie under everyone’s tree on Christmas Eve.

29. BCS MNC: Texas-Alabama
Skinny: All year long Texas has tiptoed through a Nancy of a schedule, while Alabama has taken some of the best behind the woodshed. Alabama’s experience and grit will give them the edge in a close championship game. Continue Reading “2009-10 Bowl Mania” »

Contrary to Biggy, in college football, mo money doesn’t equate to mo problems. Often, it means the most up-to-date technology, top of the line facilities, the brightest coaching minds and, ultimately, wins. When the ACC expanded to eleven teams in 2004 –ultimately to a twelve team “super-conference” in 2005 complete with a shiny championship game– pursuing a juiced up television contract was at the heart of it all. The ploy worked. The ACC almost doubled their television money from $21 million a year to about $37.6 million. Since 2008 the ACC’s media and fans have been both envious and jealous of the SEC’s piggybank after the ink dried on the conference’s record 15-year, $3 billion contracts ($150MM/year ABC/ESPN, $55MM/year CBS).

So what about us?

The ACC’s contracts are up after the 2010-11 basketball season, and there’s been little news about what a new deal would look like and who (or whom) it would be with. In the ACC’s perfect world, ESPN would load up a dump truck full of cash –around $160MM for the first year of a fifteen year contract (SEC money plus inflation)– make the 10 hour trip from Bristol, Connecticut to Greensboro, North Carolina and deposit the loot at the front door of the conference headquarters.

The GTGs have some west coast competition.

Willy Mac and Chili are hosting, feel free to grind your feet on their couch.

1) Let’s just say, not trying to jinx anything here, but let’s just say the Tigers make the ACC Championship game versus Georgia Tech. Who wins, and why?

As much as I’d like to read about Winfield, Bird and Dane running rampant through Tampa while inebriated I think Clemson will pull the upset. Simply put, their first game was close, they’re both talented and I subscribe to the theory that it’s difficult to beat a team twice in one year.

2) Has the ACC taken the form that you thought it would at the beginning of the season? If not, what didn’t you see coming? Disappointments? Pleasant surprises?

I thought the ACC would, once again, be a clusterfuck. I was a little off. Georgia Tech neatly wrapped up the Coastal division, and only Clemson and Boston College are alive in the Atlantic. I thought Virginia Tech would three-peat so I’m just a little disappointed in my Hokies. Continue Reading “ACC Roundtable: Championship Edition” »

After an eighth straight loss to USC, a second home loss to Navy in three years and disappointing finish against the Pitt Wanstaches speculation for who will replace Charlie Weis has taken the Interwebs by storm. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick says he’s got the buyout money (via The Blue-Gray Sky) tucked away under his 11″ Serta California King, which is as good as saying the final nail is in the coffin. It’s never been about fronting money at Notre Dame, it’s about winning enough games to maintain their television contract, getting an annual payday from the BCS and being in the hunt for the National Championship. The University simply wants a return on their investment.

Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis all proved that being head coach at Notre Dame is too much for one man. Going forward it’s unlikely that the Irish will be able to pull an elite coach such as: Urban Meyer or Bob Stoops so why not hire a group of men, supermen in their own right, otherwise known as The Notre Dame Brain Trust, to collectively coach and run the day-to-day operations of the team.

Regis Philbin

Position: The face of Notre Dame football
Responsibilities: Media whoring, damage control, master of propaganda
In Short: Regis will be the iced over slab of beef at the podium to heal the wounded eye of Notre Dame after any loss. He’ll remain as host of Live with Regis and Kelly in order to continue to throat fuck Americans with all things Irish. Continue Reading “The Notre Dame Brain Trust” »

For your viewing pleasure, the latest in the long line of Leland Stanford Junior, University Marching Band’s controversial actions.

After all, it takes a special kind of man to be wanted for sexual harassment, drug trafficking, tax evasion, prostitution, child abuse and destructive flatulence.

Your move Joe Francis and hopefully boobies will be involved. I’m indebted to The Wiz for finding this.

Thanks to everyone who reads, promotes and contributes to this bitch. And thank you @SportsNation for the recognition.
