Not even Pat White could help THE Fail

Pat has won 4 bowls, he has been a good daddy to the SEC, ACC and Big12.  As talented as he is I seriously doubt that he can fix the fail personifiied known as Ohio State.    Bless their hearts, they just suck and their fans are loud and proud why they suck. This must be …

My thoughts on the Barn losing to a dominant Big East School

Sorry fellas, I would have loved to post yesterday, but I just hungover to post. I was out celebrating yet another BE win over an SEC school.  Numbers just don’t lie and the SEC folds like a cheap suit when facing BE power.  Just a few words on the Barn and USF game: That was …

The Cupcake Report: Going Directional

It’s Wednesday, so this must be the Cupcake Report. Last week, I looked at the earliest games on the schedule. A handful of cupcake matchups fall on the final Thursday of this month, so we got those out of the way early. Now we head for September 1st, in which cupcake season gets underway in …

Bottom Line on… LSU

Yikes. Those were my exact thoughts when I read Les Miles comments about USC and their schedule, comments that he has since backed down from.

We say that the “old-fashioned Rivalries” still beats the hell out of the new rivalries being pushed on us by the left wing drive-by liberal sports media puppets like Steve …

College Gameday will open the season at Virginia Tech

Shit, I know that this old news [ESPN]. But holy hell, I gotta say something about it. I’m glad ESPN is doing this because they care about the Hokie Nation, not because they’re soulless attention whores with no conscience. I can’t wait until Chris Fowler, Corso, Herbstreit, Mark May and Lou Holtz descend on Blacksburg …

The Day After..

Sometimes sports seems pretty insignificant, huh? After watching MSNBC’s coverage of the massacre at Virginia Tech last night, I came into work this morning completely drained. Maybe it’s because Blacksburg reminds me so much of Bloomington, Indiana where I went to school. Where all of the buildings are made from that same limestone. I pictured …

VT – leading the way in something other than producing felonious brotherly quarterbacks

4-12-07-vt_helmets.jpg

Found this today on Engadget and thought it was cool. Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed the technology to install a system in their helmets that monitors the severity and frequency of hard hits. The goal of the system is to detect brain injuries like concussions before the player becomes syptomatic. Pretty cool stuff. That’s …
