Weekend Carnage Report

If OTP were a train, our actual real life function and existence Monday totally derailed the high hopes and expectations of the morning and afternoon. Post victory hangover? Perhaps. And while I wish we had all day to celebrate and mock since we have victory numero uno, part of me falls along the “Act Like [...]

Weekend Carnage Report

This weekend was clearly the media’s dream sort of day. Two top 5 schools facing off in Florida-LSU, the return of Sam Bradford, the Michigan-Iowa game garnering national attention because of the early season upsets provided by both. Has has been the case the last three weekends, both our Ball State Cardinals and the Kentucky [...]

Weekend Carnage Report

Better late than never, certainly, and the lack of which is making me reconsider heading to a distant road game in the future. On one hand, we have the delayed posting, the inability to get stuff done while traveling, etc. On the other, it’s southern barbecue, southern beauties, and maybe some of the nicest people [...]

Weekend Carnage Report

Apologies for the delay this morning… stupid real life. We’re back now, though, and playing catch up for most of the morning.

At the conclusion of our series, we’ll have the Bowl Projections for all 34 Bowl Games.

Prelude to a Season: #2

2.) Texas Longhorns What You Need to Know It’s fairly common for college football fans to gripe loudly about the BCS. Having a physical emotional game’s champion essentially determined by a computer leaves some fans feeling a bit unfulfilled. The difference between these curmudgeonly aficionados and the Texas Longhorns is that Texas certainly has a [...]
