Mark Richt Speaks… And I’m Left Choking On The Irony

December 4th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Man, he laid the irony on thick. Now, I know Richt has a job to do, but man what a difference a year makes. Not quite sure what I’m talking about? Let’s take a look at Richt’s recent comments about being left out of the BCS Championship game:
“Let’s face it, going into […]

Is That The Official Term??

December 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

I can’t say that I’ve ever seen someone flagged for “giving him the business”.

Although I suppose I also can’t say that I’ve ever seen a cartoon announce the starting lineup.

The Doba Debacle: The Chewbacca Defense For Doba

December 1st, 2007 · 4 Comments

Okay folks, so the other day I already commented on how I thought that firing Doba was uncalled for. Now I’m really confused.
I thought statistics were supposed to help understand rationale for why things happen. Using numbers to show and prove a result is supposed to clarify, not confuse, right? Well, like […]

The Doba Debacle

November 30th, 2007 · 6 Comments

Anyone savvy with the Washington State sports scene knows all about Bill Doba. After only five years of being the head coach at WSU, Doba “stepped down” “willingly” to vacate the position. Anyone living in the Palouse wondering what that arid stench has been floating around the past week can at least be […]

The Cougar Is A Brave And Noble Creature - Apple Cup Edition

November 22nd, 2007 · 3 Comments

Wow. So, that sucked.
8 turnovers; 7 interceptions and of course a loss last week. I really could not have pictured a worse finish for the Cougs at home this year. You have to give some credit to OSU for their win… but at the same time it’s hard to look at the […]

27 Years Of Lloyd

November 19th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I keep seeing news stories saying that Lloyd Carr called it quits today after 13 years at Michigan. The only problem with that is that Carr was hired by Bo Schembechler back in 1980 to be the defensive backs coach, and never left. Carr has put in 27 years of service in Ann […]

The Cougar Is A Brave And Noble Creature - WSU vs OSU

November 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment

On the same day that a BCS bowl game will be decided (tOSU vs Michigan), two other teams will be fighting just to make a bowl… any bowl. That really makes it a dangerous game for both teams as you never really want to get a team when their backs are against the wall. […]

The Best Thing To Come Out Of tOSU Since Maurice Clarett…

November 15th, 2007 · No Comments

Okay, so technically when a Buckeye student takes a crap that’s a better product of tOSU than the vodka/ hatchet wielding MC. But this would have to be up the scale at least when it comes to interesting discussion topics. Trevon D. Logan, an economics professor at tOSU has spent some of his […]

High School Scandals

November 12th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Wow, lots of high school scandals recently. Harsh punishments were doled out for a couple of schools who deserved a punch in the face for being complete douchbags in order to win a few more games a year, and one school that I’d say got completely screwed.

Hoover High School
Anyone who watched at least one […]

The Cougar Is A Brave And Noble Creature - WSU Football

November 9th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Sadly, the Cougs just couldn’t quite make the full comeback last week against Cal - the only team left on their schedule where a loss could have been anticipated/ expected. The remainder of this season is going to be must-win games against beatable opponents. I.e., this is where Bill Doba keeps or loses […]
