Alex Ferguson talks about his emotions — if you’d seen the Penn State-Indiana game and later, the LSU-Auburn game — after Week 8 of the College Football Season.

Down goes Cal! Down goes LSU! Alex Ferguson talks emotionally about Week 7 of the college football season….
Upset Saturday. What a day. The question is is: What DIDN’T Impress, Depress or Unmove Alex Ferguson on Week 5 on the College Football season?
It’s Round Three of my feelings on the third college football outing of the season….

The Model
With all the talk of the Plus-1 format being set up to determine college football’s National Champion, I thought I would try a different idea. This idea has almost no chance of working, since the Pac-10 and Big Ten conference commissioners have already stated that they will pull out of the Bowl Championship Series if the Plus-1 format or whatever number team playoff was implemented. My idea calls for all of the BCS conference champions and two wild card teams from non-BCS conferences to play it out for the title.
The Hall of Fame does not exist for people like Joe Paterno and Doug Flutie.
Yes, these people are great and outstanding and should be in the College Football Hall of Fame, but that isn’t the purpose.
I would know of Babe Ruth and Red Grange if I hadn’t seen their plaques at Cooperstown and Canton respectively. They don’t need to be memorialized.
Although Native Americans entered the world of professional baseball 50 years prior to African Americans, who competed in the Negro Leagues, until Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier by signing his minor league contract with Dodgers in 1945, there have been less than 50 Native Americans of full Indian ancestry to compete in the Major Leagues since 1897.

Treeemendous Saturday. I know there is a God and that he loves us when he provides a weekend like this past one. Is there a more underrated happening than when St. Patrick’s Day and the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament link up? Barrooms filled with people rallying behind a team like Xavier as they try to knock off Ohio State. Loud roars each time a big shot puts a game into overtime. Maybe this year I did not get the full eight hour St. Patty’s experience, but the afternoon I spent barhopping reminded me of why this day is New York’s version of Mardi Gras.
CANCEL! CANCEL! CANCEL! I’m not stupid enough to actually bet cash on the tournament since I’m not up on my college bball this year (aside from throwing $50 away on office pools) but I am part of a contest from nbx.com called Battle of the Blogs. Instead of a bracket, they do a contest where you start with 100,000 points and you can bet on each game. Good thing it’s not real cash or I’d be selling blood and sperm right now.
I waded slowly into the betting pool, putting down 100 or 500 points on BC over Texas Tech, Louisville over Standford, Michigan State over Marquette, and various other games. Amazingly I went 11-3-1 to begin the contest. However, from Friday to Sunday, it seemed that college basketball was fixed. Against me specifically. I dropped 16 straight bets. 16. You could flip a coin and not do anywhere near as bad.

The March Madness Roadmap
By David J. Cohen
It’s the greatest journey in all of sports. It’s a time when George Mason’s can be made and Duke’s can be broken. A time when buzzer-beaters become cooler talk. A time when that sure-fire team leaves you scratching your head as the secretary wins the office pool for the 10th year in a row.
March Madness is here. It’s a long journey, so you’ll need a good map. I’ll be your guide for what lies ahead.
