No, it’s not what you’re thinking. The Pac 10 is actually quite terrible this year outside of USC. No, the Pac 10 conference office got it right by suspending the entire officiating crew including replay officials for the debacle versus Oklahoma. On the other hand, the SEC office claims that the calls made in the […]
Terry Holland Comments In the N&O
We meant to link this up on Thursday morning but forgot. It is a really nice read from one of our favorite ADs, Terry Holland. This last comment really stood out. Holland said it bothered him that N.C. State would travel to play C-USA team Southern Miss this weekend while “depressed” eastern North Carolina would […]
Week 3 – TV Schedule
No need to rehash this as the best college football-viewing weekend of the season. Everyone already knows that. You know the games, and if you don’t, just take a look at this week’s schedule. The LSU/Auburn game is the biggest on my TV, the SEC West, the SEC overall, and yes; it’s the biggest game […]
Week 2 – TV Schedule
This week can’t come soon enough. Granted, week two is a letdown from an opening weekend full of exciting games, but the marquise match-up from week two could easily be the best regular season game of 2006. I’ll be in Baton Rouge for the Tigers this week; so Penn State/Notre Dame and the end of […]
Opening Weekend TV Schedule
Download our Week One Game Watching Guide This looks like the best opening schedule in quite a while. Last year, we were excited about Boise State versus Georgia – how sad. This year we have Cal vs. Tennessee; an improved Arkansas vs. a USC team looking to replace Leinart & Bush, and an incredibly over-rated […]
Preview 2006 – Mid Majors
Last year the Mid Majors were addressed here on multiple occasions; however, it appears that neither the voters from the AP or the Coach’s poll read this site since this year the preseason polls have 13 different Mid Major teams receiving votes. Not surprisingly, West Virginia, Louisville*, and TCU are the top three, and the […]
Spreading It on Thick
In this decade where “all time greatestâ€? seems to be the descriptive phrase of choice for many college football analysts, it should come as no surprise that everyone is jumping on the “spreadâ€? bandwagon. However, is it really that new or that great? The goal of the spread is to spread the defense over the […]
Who Can Win It All in 2006?
A few weeks back, I posted on the relationship between recruiting rankings and championship teams going back several years. With that in mind, its time to take a look at who’s poised for a championship season in 2006. In 2005, Texas and USC were the clear favorites start to finish. They had the three most […]
Does recruiting matter?
People certainly take it seriously. Thousands of LSU fans flock to the daylong Bayou Bash Recruiting party every year and pay $25 a head to sit and watch letters of intent come across the fax machine. But does it really matter? Will February 1st have any impact on January 1st (2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th)? […]
John Brady Not a Good Fit for the Pack
This entry provided by an LSU graduate, football season ticket-holder, and life-time TigerFan. At a school where basketball finishes at best second behind football and possibly baseball, John Brady hasn’t done enough to make LSU fans happy, and if he’s not making Louisiana State basketball fans happy, there is no way he’s going to make […]
