Georgia Bulldogs' 2012 Recruiting Class Should Translate from Success on National Signing Day to Success on Fall Saturdays
This class will not end up with the same marquee names as last year's so-called Dream Team . . . because last year's class was about injecting talent back into a program coming off a 6-7 season. This year is about filling needs. Seth Emerson (January 26, 2012) 2011:Dream Team 2012:Ring...
2010 Liberty Bowl Too Much Information: Georgia Bulldogs v. Central Florida Knights
North Georgia is blanketed in snow, the Liberty Bowl is just days away, and I appear inadvertently to have begun this posting in a manner reminiscent of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. The event---the bowl game, not the virtually unprecedented Christmas snowfall in the Peach State or the...
Why Admiral Akbar Will Not Be the New Mascot of the Ole Miss Rebels
I don’t mean to get all lawyerly on you or anything, but this Admiral-Akbar-for-Ole-Miss-mascot nonsense has got to stop, and, if the line is not drawn here (sorry; I know my "Star Wars" from my "Star Trek," so I regret mixing my sci-fi references), attorneys are going to become involved in their...

Maize n Brew gives you your daily (or semi-daily) rundown of all the Michigan Football, Michigan Basketball, College Football, and College Basketball news you need to get through the tedium of your boring desk job. For good measure we'll throw in a little irreverent information, comedy and...
Was the Florida Gators' Recruiting Class Deceived by Urban Meyer?
Let’s not mince words here; ever since I made the mistake of treating this soulless Cardassian cyborg like a functional human being, Urban Meyer has used every means at his disposal to confirm that he is, in fact, a total sleazeball. Yes, I would dislike him just because he was the Florida head...
College Football Playoffs and the Mountain West's Rise: Why a Government Flunky's Watered-Down Letter to a Showboating Senator Poses No Threat to the BCS
It is said that a drowning man will reach even for the tip of a sword, which may explain why proponents of a Division I-A college football playoff, despite being stymied at every turn and facing monolithic opposition to their position by everyone in a position of authority regarding the sport’s...
Kyle Gets Contrary: The BCS Is Better Than a College Football Playoff
I count myself a Matt Hinton fan, despite my disapproval of a Southern Miss fan rooting against Brett Favre. (I admit, however, that I am biased against the Saints, since I grew up near the hometown of the Falcons, who number New Orleans among their rivals, largely because both teams have been...

Dr. Saturday counts down the 2009 football season's most surreal moments at this link. Indiana blog Inside the Hall reviews the Hoosiers' victory over the Gopher basketball team. The author speculates that this win could be a turning point for their young team: There are plenty of things this...
A First Look at the Top Ten Teams on My Preseason BlogPoll Ballot
What Ted Williams said about hitting a baseball applies to the summer for a college football blogger: "Wait wait wait then quick quick quick." All of a sudden, the season is upon us. My seatbacks are ordered; my parking pass, season tickets, 2009 media guide, and new pair of lucky game day...
Talking points: Total number of commitments after big weekend? Um . . .
Tennessee Huge, HUGE recruiting weekend for the Vols. The news? Not really huge. Or even large or medium- or regular-sized. In fact, few things changed and those that have are not really good news. Marlon Brown? Still undecided and will choose at a National Signing Day press conference between...
