Steve Spurrier should have been fired. Immediately. Without pay. You would have been if it were you.
Yet Spurrier, who in his elevated god-like status in the SEC, is somehow above the law. Spurrier can come out and speak out in public against the policies of his school and threaten to leave if they’re not changed, and his boss changes the policies to placate him.

Tailgate parties. “The Swamp”. Pabst Blue Ribbon. Camp Randall. “Whoa Nellie”. Saturday afternoon. Buffalo Wings. Flutie to Phelan. Boise State. It has been eight months, but ladies and gentlemen……..college football season has arrived. With that, it is time for us to take our annual look. Let’s begin our Top 25 in the land of sun, sports cars and hot cheerleaders…….
A breakdown of finishes of all FBS conferences!
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.
Just something I wrote on the Virginia Tech shootings. I wish I had more of an intro, but it was hard enough writing this….

For the next month and a half, Kevin Durant will be inundated with people whispering that he would be a fool to not declare for the NBA Draft. They will tell Durant about the $70 million that Nike will throw at him. Agents will give him the same treatment that “Vinny Chase” got when he cruelly decided to explore the option of replacing “Ari Gold”. Writers will talk about how if the goal of college is to get a great education so you can get a good job, that Durant has already done enough to accomplish this goal. What nobody has done is articulate the other side. The reasoning for why he should stay in school. That’s where I come in. So Kevin, if you’re reading make sure you take the following five things into account before voting “yes” on the money and “no” on Texas.

Goosebumps. That was what filled my arm down the stretch of the Georgetown-North Carolina game as I watched the Hoyas rally back to deliver a revenge punch that had been twenty-five years in the making. And I’ll be quite honest…….I was worried that this Elite Eight was going to leave us wanting for more. I thought the only goosebumps I was going to get all weekend was from a second viewing of last Wednesday’s “Friday Night Lights” (“friends……friends….Texas forever….Texas forever man”). Then the last seven minutes of regulation and overtime gave us the stirring comeback we had been dying for all weekend.
