Ohio State Comes Up Short Again

By oddJoe ⋅ January 8, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Did anyone else notice during halftime the Ohio State marching band playing “Anchors Aweigh?” A subtle hint perhaps that it’s time for Jim Tressel to ship out.

June Jones Votes Himself Off The Island?

By oddJoe ⋅ January 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know a whole lot about Hawaii other than it has volcanoes, beaches, and pretty girls. Surely even in paradise they have some of the same problems facing other states, such as poverty, unemployment and the sad state of public education. There must be other priorities facing Hawaii, […]

The Strangest Canadian Football Game Ever

By oddJoe ⋅ January 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

If the NCAA is going to stage a college football game in Canada, shouldn’t they abide by the local rules? Watching Rutgers and Ball State play the International Bowl in Toronto, there were several violations of Canadian football rules: The field was too small, they gave each team too many downs on offense and there […]

Kansas Survives To Beat Hokies

By GibbyZee ⋅ January 4, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Mark Mangino is pissed. He came all the way to Florida thinking he could win a giant bowl full of oranges — the man is hungry! — and all he got was a stinking trophy.
Lame fat guy jokes aside, the Jayhawks won their first BCS bowl last beat, beating Virginia Tech 24-21 in the Orange […]

West Virginia Sinks The Sooner Schooner

By oddJoe ⋅ January 3, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Way to go, Bob Stoops. Yeah your Sooners totally should have been playing for the mythical national championship this year. Totally.
Remember that Oklahoma fan who squashed the scrotum of some Texas fan earlier this year? I sure hope no one brings up that ass kicking OU received from West Virginia in this year’s Fiesta Bowl […]

Illinois Gets Stomped But Tradition Survives

By oddJoe ⋅ January 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m sure a lot of critics and pundits out there will be second-guessing the Rose Bowl committee’s decision to invite Illinois to play in Pasadena following USC’s 49-17 rout yesterday, but it’s good to see that at least some traditions survive in this crazy, mixed up world of ours. The Granddaddy of all Bowl games […]

Georgia WACs Hawaii In The Sugar Bowl

By oddJoe ⋅ January 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Anyone out there still claiming Hawaii should have been playing for a mythical national championship on account of their 12-0 record? It looks like winning in the Western Athletic Conference doesn’t guarantee you’ll be Boise State.
Maybe they don’t play defense in the WAC, or maybe they just don’t have defensive linemen the size of defensive […]

Matt Ryan’s NFL Audition

By GibbyZee ⋅ December 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston College won its eighth consecutive bowl game yesterday, besting Michigan State 24-21 in the Champ Sports Bowl. More importantly, though, Matt Ryan gave all the pro scouts something to look at throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Now I don’t claim to be any draft board Svengali like a certain oil slicked hairdo […]

Remember The Alamo (But Forget The Meineke And Liberty)

By oddJoe ⋅ December 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Evry year at the beginning of December when the regular college football season winds down we say we can’t wait for the Bowl Season to get started, but we always forget how dreadful most of it really is. Well, tonight we finally get something approaching a real bowl game but we have to endure two […]

Chris Jessie Is Relieved Texas Won

By oddJoe ⋅ December 28, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

If you missed it last night — and I wouldn’t blame you if you had — Texas won the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl by routing Arizona State 52-34. The game did have its drama, though, when a member of the Longhorns sideline staff touched the ball in play. The ensuing penalty sparked a Sun Devils […]
