The Provincial Report Gets Hooked On The Horns

By oddJoe ⋅ November 14, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Down in Austin, Texas, they like their bats to live under a bridge, their Tex to be Mex, and their football to be collegiate in nature. That’s right, the Provincial Report has come full circle from whence it came so long ago to report on the University of Texas Longhorns. But what sad tidings we […]

The Provincial Report Gets Spun Cyclonically

By oddJoe ⋅ November 7, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

The kind and gentle folks of Ames, Iowa, prefer their music to be live, their spring celebrations to be riot-free, and their football to be of the collegiate variety. They don’t like it at all, however, when their Iowa State Cyclones are stuck at the bottom of the pile without a single conference victory. Last […]

The Provincial Report Says Hooray For Beavers

The good people in Corvallis, Oregon, prefer their quantum chemists to be award winning, their ultimate fighters to be Hall of Famers, and their Playboy cover models [NSFW] to be body painted. They also prefer their football to be of the collegiate giant killer variety, such as the Oregon State - USC match up this […]

Husking Corn With The Provincial Report

By oddJoe ⋅ October 24, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Out in Lincoln, Nebraska, the good folks there like their corn to be tall, their elephants to be prehistoric, and their football to be of the Big 12 variety. They absolutely, positively do not like their Cornhuskers football team to choke at home on national television, but that’s just what happened this past weekend when […]

The Provincial Report Falls From No. 2

By oddJoe ⋅ October 18, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

The good people of Gainesville, Florida, like their hot rod racing and their sinkholes, but they love their Florida Gators football team. They are not so keen, however, on those same Gators reaching #2 in the national polls and then getting beat by a team like Auburn. That really hurts; it really, really does. But […]

The Provincial Report Makes An Appeal To The Lions

By oddJoe ⋅ October 11, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Each week it is the pleasure of the Provincial Report to highlight some of the finest college football programs in the land by spotlighting the exploits of famous alumni who have gone on to greatness (or at least careers) in the National Footbal League. However, this week it is my displeasure to have to showcase […]

The Provincial Report Volunteers For Duty

By oddJoe ⋅ October 3, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

The good folks down in Knoxville, Tennessee, like their cooking shows to be on cable TV, their film directors to be independent, and their football to be of the collegiate variety. The fans in The Marble City are celebrating this week with the Tennessee Volunteers ranked 13th in the nation, but they hang with their […]

The Green Wave Crashes Into The Provincial Report

By oddJoe ⋅ September 26, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

The people down in New Orleans are just thankful for what they have and they appreciate all the help they’ve gotten (and any assistance you still want to offer). But when it comes to football, they love their players from Tulane, even if they aren’t exactly dominating Conference USA. So in honor of the Crescent […]

The Provincial Report Asks What Would Touchdown Jesus Do

By oddJoe ⋅ September 19, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Tucked away in the northern-most reaches of Indiana is the Shangri-La of football called the University of Notre Dame du Lac where the ghosts of Knute Rockne, the Four Horsemen, and Tim Brown still live and breathe and get wasted at frat parties. Yes, the good folks in South Bend love everything and anything Irish, […]

Getting Shut Out With The Provincial Report

By oddJoe ⋅ September 12, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Out in the great hinterland of the Midwest is a mythical land of two cities called Champaign-Urbana, where they like their Taylors to be named Kelly and live in the 90210, their supercomputers to go crazy, and their critics to give a thumbs up or down to new movies. The good people of Urbana-Champaign also […]
