Rivalry Week Reflections

By Zachary | Published: November 29, 2009
ESPN/ABC always seem to have a tag line ready for each commercial break or game promo.  ”Every underdog is dangerous” is one they’ve used in the past but has never been more appropriate than this past Thanksgiving weekend. Texas and Alabama were pushed to the limit by their in-state rivals.  Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State [...]

What kind of coach do you want?

By Zachary | Published: November 20, 2009
With rivalry games kicking off and hate week approaching (To Hell with georgia!), I was thinking about the controversy following the Stanford-So Cal game.  With the game well in hand to the tune of 48-21, Coach Harbaugh went for two.  He failed but still ended up scoring again to humiliate Pete Carroll and the Trojans [...]

A Tale of Two Heads

By Dan | Published: October 10, 2009
So we obviously have what should be an incredible Gators/Tigers game on our hands later today, SEC West #2 vs. SEC East & Nation’s Numero Uno. But unlike most showdowns of this magnitude, I doubt there are national title implications in this game. A win by either team certainly makes them a contender but either [...]
