Florida-Georgia: A Rivalry Renewed
It’s close. I can feel it. This is what Steve Spurrier must have meant when he consistently called Florida-Georgia the most important game on the Gators schedule. The rivalry was so important to him, he obsessed over it. The Ol’ Ball Coach became the first Florida coach to beat Georgia seven straight times. Florida dominated [...]
Midseason NFL Awards: Portis or Brees for MVP?
We’re already coming up on November and the halfway point of the 2008 NFL season, and what a season it’s been so far. At the start of the season, who’d have expected the Tennessee Titans to be 7-0 right now and four games ahead of the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South? [...]
One drought ends in Philly, could another end in February?
Is the Philadelphia Phillies triumph in the World Series an omen for the Eagles? Tonight, the Phillies won their first World Series title since 1980, beating the upstart Tampa Bay Rays to win Game 5 and the title after a two-day rain delay. I actually put some money on the Phillies winning in six, so [...]
November will make or break Heisman hopes of McCoy and others
I feel pretty safe in saying that the next few weeks of the college football season will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy. With all due respect to the likes of Michigan State’s Javon Ringer or Missouri’s Chase Daniel, who was on many a preseason favorite list, the [...]
No surprise here: Tyrone Willingham out at Washington
As a head coach, no matter what job you take, at some point, you have to win games. If you don’t, you won’t be around after a while. Tyrone Willingham won’t be at Washington in 2009, as his official departure was announced on Monday. He’ll finish out the season, but that’ll be the end for [...]

BlogPoll Ballot Week 9
It’s been a little while since I posted up my BlogPoll ballot for all to dissect, but I thought I’d do it with the last one for October to at least make up for the sporadic posting throughout the month. I usually wait until the last minute to do my ballot, but I had In [...]
Does anyone want to win the ACC?
Before August 30, everything looked to be cut and dry in the ACC. Clemson was the undisputed best team, and the Tigers were not only touted to be the class of the ACC, but also as a potential darkhorse national title contender, with Cullen Harper, James Davis, and C.J. Spiller leading the way. Then the [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 8
Some moments in sports are simply too big to describe with mere words. Brett Favre throwing for 399 yards and four scores just hours after his father passed away. Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open with a torn ACL. Sergey Bubka shattering the world record in the pole vault using what was later learned to [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 7
Week five was so bad for me, I had to take some time and regroup. I knew I could still pick fantasy starters, I just didn’t know that I wanted to. But now, after several days of soul searching, I make my Favrian return to fantasy football. And since the bosses were good enough to [...]
