Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...

NCAA Enforcement (of Selectivity)
It's old but it's timeless. And as far as clichés are concerned, it's battle-tested. "There's nothing to fear but fear itself - and the I.R.S. audit." Alright, so perhaps I took some liberties. The truth is that's a lesser-used spinoff to the more common saying. It's the Frasier to the "fear...

Stadiums I've Been To: LP Field
I've been to events at LP Field four times (simply called "The Coliseum" the first time I visited), every time for a soccer game. The first time was for an exhibition game between the Los Angeles Galaxy and the UAG Tecos from Mexico. The second time was for a World Cup warm-up match in 2006 between...

Steve Spurrier has been accused of lots of things during his almost 20 years in the Southeastern Conference. What he has rarely been accused of is graciousness to Phillip Fulmer or Tennessee. But for the man who put the U-T in Citrus, he viewed Fulmer's glass as remarkably half-full:"Some people...
The Grades are in: SEC East
The grades for the West can be found here. Florida: A+You're welcome, Timmy. VICARIOUS NATIONAL CHAMPS, MAWFUKKAZ! Florida earns a well deserved "A+" because... well, really, I shouldn't need to explain further. They won the BCS Championship, dammit. The SEC owns all of you.Vanderbilt: A-- (Yes,...
"We Must Protect This House" -- Tennessee Preview
We will get to the Insight Bowl and all of its greatness later (and if you are simply craving for some coverage, check out Denver's two great posts on the subject), but for now I want to focus on the basketball team. We are in a new age of Kansas athletics, where the basketball team takes a...
Labor Day Live Blog III (Second Half)
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? How many interceptions will the UCLA QBs throw today? My prediction still stands: By the time Cal plays UCLA, the UCLA QB is Karl Dorrell in fake mustache. Chat about the second half of Brett Farve day down in the Rose...
