Previewing LSU vs. Bama: The Rematch
I think most of us are well aware that the BCS is a farce and an insult to college football in virtually every regard of its existence. It gives us meaningless games that divert College Football's profits into the hands of an elite class and then pretends that our system for choosing teams to play...
Utah vs The BCS: Arguments Before the Court
After last week's article that is a Primer on the issues in the Utah vs the BCS case, we follow up with an article presenting arguments from both sides. Questions asked were from the Justices of the Court to the lawyers for each side. The Court includes: Justices Whiskey, Eric Murtaugh, JIm...
BCS Title Game: And the No.1 Team Will Be…
Well I’m not a big fan of the BCS, even I’ll admit that there is a boatload of anticipation for this game between Auburn and Oregon. It’s not that it’s a game between two super powers like last year, it’s more that there is so much intrigue about two programs with a lot less tradition and a lot of...
Let The Debate Begin...Again
In what will probably be labeled as another "instant classic", Boise State topped Virginia Tech at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland Monday night 33-30. The "structure of the game" actually paralleled the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, in that Boise State jumped out to a big lead early, the other team fought...
Title Talk: Better To Receive Or Defer?
So I got hired to put together a championship edition of "The Eyes of Texas", which.... Okay, first of all, don't worry: no jinx, the "Yea, Alabama" folks were hired to do one, too. (Yes, I will be even more depressed should Texas lose because all this work will never see the light of day.) I've...
Who Will Play Penn State for the BCS National Championship?
Humble, God-fearing college football pundit that I am, it's not normally my style to call anyone title contender elect. Especially not this early. But it dawned on me last night, as I was scooping steamed rice out of a Chinese take out container and watching No. 7 Texas Tech vulture No. 1 Texas...
Rivals.com Skewers Penn State; The Rivalry Shoots Back
In what will be the first of many Penn State hating stories, Rivals.com National Senior Writer Tom Dienhart has written an asinine and illogical article titled "Penn State Assumes Undeserved Role as Contender." So as not to let bad internet writing go unnoticed, I wrote a quick rebuttal to Mr....
Matt Hayes on USC's chances...
Admitted SEC honk Matt Hayes of The Sporting News thinks USC has the best shot out last weekends carnage to still make it to the BCS Title game! The kiss of death!!! We are doomed!
Friday Research Challenge
Lots of chatter about the 2009 schedule, which looks like it will feature the weakest non-conference schedule at Texas in some time. It's not completely Deloss Dodds' fault, of course, but it is what it is.As a fan, it's not an exciting slate of games, but there are some who note that with the team...
BCS Title Game Open Thread
Sitting around watching the game tonight? Join in here with game thoughts. I said last night that I thought this set up very nicely for LSU, but both Orson and SMQ see it differently. I will say that my confidence in the LSU offense makes me pause in picking them in this game, but I wonder even...
