I struggle to think of OTP as a small business. Granted, it’s a hell of a lot of work, but for something to be a business that would require things like a balance sheet and profits, and I think Dr. Shivaswamy from BSU would attest to the fact that my accounting skills paled in comparison [...]

It’s Thanksgiving in case you haven’t noticed. And if you haven’t, good luck finding a turkey and the fixings this late in the game. You’d be better off to find some neighbors or a distant relative and crash into their gravy boat. It’s Thanksgiving and more likely than not, they’ll keep their disdain for your [...]

Well, wasn’t that nice and special? The whirlwind of conference expansion and shifting that most thought were going to tear apart the FBS like Charlie Weis at a ribroast turned out to be nothing short of disappointing and nowhere close to worth all the hype, chaos, and ridiculousness that spewed forth from the interwebs. Colorado and Utah to the [...]
