around the blogosphere Stories - Burnt Orange Nation
Tuesday Night Dawg Bites
I’ve already told you what is afoot in Bulldog Nation, so I suppose it is time to take a jog around the blogosphere and see what is going on elsewhere in the intercollegiate sports world. Believe it or not, there is plenty to report; viz.: I go back and forth over whether Fredo Corleone or Benjy...
Monday Night Dawg Bites: Who Dat Say Saints Make Him Wanna Puke? Edition
The Monday following Super Bowl Sunday is like an aluminum bat to the face, and trebly so if the team you (nominally) supported the day before lost. Granted, there is no outcome of any NFL game I could find truly fortunate or unfortunate---it’s the NFL; it’s basically just a waste of six or eight...
Why It Is More Important for the Florida Gators to Get Worse Than for the Georgia Bulldogs to Get Better
Last Wednesday, Braves & Birds made some interesting observations about the Mark Richt era, one of which was this: Richt benefited from a weak SEC. . . . Richt's heyday corresponds with the conference's weakest period. Steve Spurrier had been replaced by Ron Zook, Phil Fulmer and Lou Holtz were...
Don't Bet On It!: National Games of Interest
I went 4-4 last week in my national picks, so I continue to be staring up at .500 for the year with an overall 8-10 record in games not involving SEC squads. That should mean no disclaimer is necessary, but, if people still need a warning label on a pack of cigarettes to tell them that inhaling...
How Good-Looking is Your Head Coach's Sister?: The Moral Case for Abolishing Overtime in College Football
It’s always interesting to me how current events invariably confirm our preconceived notions, in sports at least as much so as in politics, religion, and most of the rest of life. For instance, no matter which side of the playoff divide you happened to claim, Boise State’s victory over Oklahoma in...
Kyle Gets Conciliatory: An Encouraging Word About Boise State's Place at the Table
The recent Congressional hearings on the Bowl Championship Series are as unlikely to produce anything except talk as the Congressional hearings on steroid use in major league baseball, but give the grandstanding representatives their due: they did produce talk, at least. One of the more poignant...
Kyle Gets Contrary: Congress, the B.C.S., and the Virtue of Being Elitist
It is no secret to anyone that I am staunch in my opposition to a Division I-A college football playoff in any form whatsoever. It is, I hope, also no secret to anyone that I give mid-majors their due when casting my BlogPoll ballot and when welcoming our new Boise State blogger to SB Nation. In...
A Jog Around the Blogosphere: Newspapers, Bobby Bowden, and Rick Neuheisel
Every now and again, circumstances call for me to pause long enough to take a look at the blogosphere and give you a brief ("brief" being a relative term where I am concerned) snapshot of what I see . . . you know, like Ferris Bueller at 40. ("Ferris Bueller at 40," by the way, would be a much...
Dawg Sports Programming Notes: What's On Tap in Bulldog Nation
Permit me to share a brief programming note. Although today is a light day, the next several days will not be. Between Wednesday and Sunday, the Diamond Dogs will play five baseball games and the G-Day spring scrimmage will take place in Sanford Stadium on Saturday. To top it all off, of course,...
Monday Night Georgia Bulldogs Baseball Update
Although not every devoted Georgia fan also is a baseball fan, I am hopeful that interest in the national pastime is peaking in Bulldog Nation now that the Braves’ season is underway. Accordingly, I offer the following brief baseball recap. For the conference-wide perspective, be sure to check out...
