The Revolution Has Been Televised!

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

When I was a young lad, I always aspired to make it big in Boise. Or at least Pocatello. It looks like I've made it. The Occupy The BCS movement, which we will claim to have started at Rumors and Rants because the evidence allows us to, has at least caught ...

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 ...

College Football Roundup Week One

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

(5) Boise State spanks (19) Georgia 35-21 The first thing I thought of watching Boise systematically destroy Georgia in the second half of Saturday's game is how much like the 2005 USC Trojans the Broncos look.

Boise State vs. Georgia Preview

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

(5) Boise State (0-0) at (19) Georgia (0-0) (+3.5) I may be willfully misunderstanding some things about this game, but that's why I'm a blogger: I get to pretend like I know what I'm talking about. The first thing I don't get is why anyone thinks Georgia is so great suddenly. What ...

Et tu, Nevada?

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

How, exactly, did that happen? Boise State, arguably the best team in all of college football, the most complete, well-rounded squad we've seen all year, utterly fell apart in Reno like a drunken gambler who couldn't afford to play in Vegas. Up 24-7 after the half, and with a chance ...

Tennessee Left With Options, Just Not Many

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

After Will Muschamp turned down the chance to be the head football coach at the University of Tennessee, the Volunteers have been left standing at the altar without a bride. Lane Kiffin's departure has caught Tennessee's athletic department completely surprised and unprepared for what to do with the future of ...

What’s Really Going On At USC

Monday, January 11th, 2010

I've read so many misguided reports all over the internet about USC, its coaching search and why Pete Carroll departed. I rarely spout anything about USC on this site as far as inside information goes but I've been so frustrated by the misinformation coming out of ESPN, Yahoo! and others ...

What A LeJoke

Monday, October 5th, 2009

When running back LeGarrette Blount was suspended for the season by Oregon's Chip Kelly, the first-year head coach was lauded with praise for sticking to his guns and setting an example for his players. Now Kelly has decided that Blount can come back if he meets certain "conditions" for reinstatement. Let's ...
