The Weekend of Upsets Continues: Wisconsin Runs out of Steam

Maybe the attendance of athletic great Michael Phelps (see left) inspired the Wolverines? That’s the only explanation I can see as to why Michigan held off #9 Wisconsin for a 27-25 victory. This win is especially significant because it was Michigan’s 500th game at the Big House.
Like the Florida game, this one was […]

Another Mighty Team Falls during Week 5: Ole Miss Holds Off Florida

Maybe it is the weekend of upsets. We haven’t really seen many crazy games this year, especially not compared to last year, but this week we’ve already seen the #1 team fall…and now #4 Florida has fallen to an unranked team as well, 31-30.
Many people were calling for a repeat of last year from […]

USC’s Epic Loss - Who is to Blame?

Last night was one of those epic losses that people can’t stop talking about. After beating the highly-ranked Ohio State last week, their game this week against Oregon State was supposed to be an easy game. “Supposed to be.” The Trojans lost 27-21, and that’s after a second-half rally - they were losing 21-0 going […]

They’re Calling it the Upset of the Year…

…and Pete Carroll is not amused.
“I’m beside myself. They didn’t hide what they were doing, they just did it. We couldn’t stop it. We couldn’t tackle.”

I always cheer for the underdog, but this 21-27 victory for Oregon State is especially sweet. They’re getting pats on the back from tons of other teams as […]

I wouldn’t be Sad if USC Lost…Just Sayin’…

I wasn’t going to watch the USC/Oregon State game, since I figured it would be a blowout. I just turned it on, and part way through the 2nd quarter, Oregon State is winning 7-0. Zip. Zero. The big fat goose egg.
I still suspect that USC will come back to win. All they have to […]

East Carolina’s Big Bowl Game Dreams are Dashed - Is that Fair?

Don’t forget to enter HERE to win $50 in the BCS Week Four giveaway!
Everyone’s been calling them the Hawaii of 2008. East Carolina has been dominating team after team, and were definitely eyeing a spot in a BCS Bowl game. Even undefeated, they wouldn’t have played in the Championship game, but with no losses, they’d […]

More Thoughts on the LSU - Kentucky Game

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville–great Casey has struck out.

Ok, wrong sport…but I imagine that’s the general feeling on the LSU campus today. The Tigers, ranked #1 […]

It’s Official. This is the Weirdest Year in College Football EVER.

Just when I think the upsets and almost-upsets couldn’t get any worse, I read the Notre Dame-UCLA score. Are you kidding me? Notre Dame won 20-6 in a game full of UCLA blunders and injuries. Yes, you read that correctly. The Fighting Irish won.
In the beginning of the season, all of us sports writers […]

USC takes it up the…well, you know

Stanford 24, USC 23.
You must be joking, right? Nope. USC just took it up the butt.
It what must have seemed like a bad dream to USC Coach Pete Carroll , the Stanford Cardinal rallied and to score 17 points in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning touchdown. USC QB John David Booty can actually […]

Upset of the Week: Louisville is PWND

I’d image today that Syracuse (players…fans…coaches…the whole damn city) is hungover. I mean, how could you not go to out to celebrate a win like yesterday’s upset over the Cardinals - it was Syracuse’s first win over a ranked team since 2004 and their first win in an away game in the conference in three […]
