Boise St. & a BCS Bowl: Is that shit WAC?

Ah, I love these arguments.  Which bottom of the Top 10 ranked college football team deserves the last BCS Bowl bid, and which one does not?  This year, the debate is between Boise St., out of the WAC Conference, and Ohio St., out of the Big Ten Conference.

Charlie Weis: This Guy’s Gotta Go

Charlie Weis, he of the “when I am Notre Dame head coach, we will have a decided schematic advantage in every game we play”, has just finished the season 6-6.  6-6, against a horribly weak schedule.  6-6, without beating any team of consequence.  6-6, after getting WAXED by USC, 38-3 (thank GOD for that 4th quarter field goal when the Irish were already down over 30.  That sure saved some face, huh?).

Matthew Mitcham Grabs Top Sporting Award

College Basketball: North Carolina Star Helps Saves The Day

North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough is considered to be one of the best college basketball players. Not only is he talented, adorable, hunky, drop dead gorgeous, and possibly my future husband, but he is also a really nice guy as well.

The Tar Heels were returning from Hawaii on a flight after winning the Maui Classic Invitational Tournament when a passenger on board was discovered passed out. The flight crew immediately called for assistance and Tyler and two other members of the North Carolina basketball crew jumped to their feet and immediately rushed over help to lift the passenger to the galley so that paramedics could help rescue the man.

Thanksgiving means football.  Big time, NFL, glorious football.  Well, at least football.  Detroit vs. Tennessee.   The whole nation, sitting around, enjoying each other’s company, thankful for so many things on this, the best holiday of the year.  And this is the game that we get on CBS.

Donovan McNabb's Rough Week

You'd be hard-pressed to find a guy in the National Football League who had a worse week than the one Donovan McNabb just went through.

Who's The Bigger Ass?

Two of our favorite superstars are on the podium for the annual "Player to Hate" award, and it's a tight race. Barry "I don't use performance-enhancing drugs I-swear-on-the-bible" Bonds, and Michael "animal cruelty is hilarious" Vick have just come back into the spotlight again, right when real teams and players are celebrating victories on the field and in the World Series winners circle.

Will they steal the spotlight? Are they the most hated? And more importantly, who do you hate? Is it one of these clowns? Or is it T.O., who, with 200 yds and a TD just ended your fantasy dreams? Ahh. So many to hate, so little time.
