A Way Too Early Top 10
Mark Schlabach, SEC bootlick, and ESPN college football analyst, put up his revised preseason Top 25, presumably on the strength of breakout Spring game performances wherein quarterbacks tortured 3rd teamers with unerring accuracy and proliferate moxie. Obviously, it's early, but I thought I'd...
Reviewing Mark Schlabach's ACC Football Health Check
Last week ESPN columnist Mark Schlabach concocted up a system to evaluate the health and direction of every BCS football team. Furrer4heisman over at Gobbler Country did a great job breaking down the conference ratings, which showed that the ACC is the unhealthiest conference in college football....
The NCAA's Four-Game Suspension of the Georgia Bulldogs' A.J. Green Was Unjustified Overkill
I want to apologize to my coaches, teammates, and the Georgia fans for the mistake in judgment. I very much regret all that has taken place and the distraction that's been caused. I've learned a valuable lesson and hope others can learn from my mistake. I can only focus my attention now on...

This one from Schlabach is head scratcher. But is it enough at schools such as Ohio State and Oklahoma, where sustained success breeds outrageous expectations? The Buckeyes and Sooners are scrutinized more than most schools. Even USC, which has produced three of the past six Heisman Trophy...
Who hates Louisville? Week of Aug. 1
There is a part of me - the same one which can't understand the attraction of expensive cars and tolerates the pace of Jim Jarmusch films - that loathes the Internet. On multiple occasions, people outside of my mom have described me as "fun," but that doesn't mean I'm not in the marker for some...
Is A Little Effort Too Much To Ask?
Between Fresno and Notre Dame? Really? I'll save everyone the obvious rant here and try to get to the reason I find this so disturbing. This is a screen shot from Mark Schlabach's updated summer rankings. Blurbs are obviously required, but you'll be disappointed if you think they give any...
