As a hater of USC hype, I could not help but share the link to this wonderful website. The mission of the website is to raise $10,000 to put a billboard in L.A. near the USC campus to accurately display the last three national champions hoisting their BCS trophies. So far the site has raised […]
Final Poll
Final Poll Here is the StateFansNation 2005 final poll. You’ll note that things didn’t change quite as much as some of the major polls after the bowl games. The logic here is that long layoffs and too much emotion or a total lack thereof by some teams contributes to the outcome of bowl games. This […]
USC Is Clearly the Greatest
After the national title game where USC failed to win its SECOND consecutive national title, it is clear that USC is one of the greatest 2nd or 3rd ranked teams in the history of college football. Consider this, how far must you look back to find a non-championship team with a first round QB and […]
More Media (ESPN) Nonsense
The ESPN crew has become a disgusting band of self-promoting carnies? When was it exactly that “all-timeâ€? became the ubiquitous companion to the word great? As many of you who have read this website over the course of the 2005 football season know, I don’t have much patience for USC dogma. But before anyone questions […]
Bowl TV Schedule
Twenty-eight bowls is too many, but here is the schedule nontheless. There is not much reason to watch before Colorado tries to recover from embarrassment against Clemson on the 27th. Of the fourteen teams bowling before then, only two are from BCS conferences. Of the 42 teams playing on or after the 27th, only 5 […]
Championship Saturday
The TV schedule for this weekend is small, but action packed. Leave the third TV in the guest bedroom, you’ll only need two to see everything you want to see on Saturday. First, the non-championship games. Even the non-championship games have championship over-tones. If La Tech beats Fresno St. tonight, they will tie for 2nd […]
Mid Majors Update
At the beginning of the season, I wrote a piece on the Mid Majors. With the college football regular season completed for the most part, I felt it was time to revisit these teams and throw in a couple new ones. Louisville, Boise St., Pittsburgh, Fresno St., Utah, Bowling Green, Miami (Ohio), UTEP, and Wyoming […]
Final Regular Season TV Schedule
It’s been fun, but here’s the last regular season TV schedule. Next week comes the championship games followed by the bowls. Lots of games this week matter to one team, but few matter to both. Florida/FSU and UGA/Ga Tech are for pride. LSU and VPI need to hold on to make championship games. Texas needs […]
This Week’s Top 25 and TV Schedule
Just before the buzzer, here is this week’s SFN Poll and TV Schedule. Overall this rivalry weekend is a little slow. We have lots of important games and a couple of intriguing side notes (USC/Clemson suspension game/slugfest for instance) but only a couple of important match-ups between good teams. While Penn St./Michigan State, Miami/Ga Tech, […]
O versus D
A lot of nonsense has been written about Pac 10 offenses versus SEC defenses over the last few weeks. I have my own opinions on this debate, but I think it’s necessary to first introduce some facts into the discussion rather than throwing out a bunch of unsupported theories. The one assumption that I’d like […]
