College Football=More Violence

January 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Really?  Drunken masses of angry fans incite violent behavior?  What’s next? Televised golf puts people to sleep.
So for those of you thinking this ain’t rocket science, it was interesting to an economist who also figured out that violent movies=less violence.   So why the difference? The article covers it, but I think you may have guessed […]

If All It Took Was $100k To Get UW To Fire Tyrone, Then His Ass Would Have Hit The Pavement Long Ago

January 10th, 2008 · No Comments

Now this one is strange. The Seattle Times reported today, that UW alumnus, and multimillionaire, Ed Hansen had offered UW President Mark A. Emmert $100,000 in scholarhisps for the law school for the firing of Tyrone Willingham - and another $100,000 for the firing of AD Todd Turner - in his 1,000+ emails to […]

The Cougar Is A Brave And Noble Creature: Mike Vick Should Have Used Huskies

January 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Okay, so that was actually somewhat tasteless. Did you really expect anything more from me though? I certainly hope not.
So last night the Cougars did what they have done best in the past few years, and that is beat the Huskies. In football, the Cougs are 3 of their last 4; in […]

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 […]

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 […]
