Occupy The BCS

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Whether or not you agree with its principles -- and I certainly have friends who are passionately on either side of the issue -- there is no denying that the Occupy movement has gained a foothold on the public consciousness this year. But I guess I find it kind of funny ...

Championship Game Reflections

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Boy, that was worth five weeks of build-up. (Zzzzzzz). Anyway, despite the fact that I am sick and delirious like Eddie Murphy, I have attempted writing the following observations that I made during the underwhelming national championship matchup between Alabama and Texas. Because the system in place is way more exciting ...

Updated through National Championship game. Rumors and Rants National Collegiate Football Championship presentation will be Monday. The fuck are you reading this for? Go vote for us. Then read. Now, go watch this video from TWWL. The greatest and most surreal discussion of the national championship you'll ever see. Even weirder: Lil' Wayne ...

McD’s Bowl Picks Part Six: Sugar Bowl Edition

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Updated through International Bowl Record: 17-10, 13-14 ATS The color guy on the Cotton Bowl broadcast just said Jevan Snead misses passes early in games "because he's high." Take from that what you will. Alabama is in deep shit if John Parker Wilson has to throw his way to victory. Tide fan is ...

McD’s Bowl Picks Part Five: Rose Bowl and Orange Bowl Edition

McD’s Bowl Picks Part Two

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I don't know what it means when my record against the spread is exactly the same as my overall record. Does that mean my picks were just that dead wrong for the first set of bowl games? Don't answer that. Bowl Record: 2-3, 2-3 ATS Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8pm ET San Diego County ...

McD’s Week 15 Picks: Championship Week

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Happy Championship Week to everyone. Just want to point out Utah, Boise State and TCU are all ranked ahead of the Big East champion (Cincinnati) and whoever the ACC champion will be. But do any of those four teams get to go to BCS games? One: Utah, with an outside shot ...

McD’s Week 14 Picks: Rivalry Week Part 2

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

It's just plain wrong Boise State and Ball State can go undefeated, win their respective conferences, and not get into the BCS. What makes it ironic is it'll be another undefeated non-BCS team (Utah) that's taking their place. Once again, we've learned exactly what makes the BCS so shitty. Instead of ...

Let’s Ponder Notre Dame Football at Present and Moving Onward

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Let it be known from the get-go that I'm going to try and make it so this doesn't turn into a Charlie Weis bashing extravaganza. Really, I'm going to try and challenge myself a little more. It's just too easy right now. I mean, the Irish did lose to Syracuse last ...
