Watch

Nice to see that, on a network that has been flat-out destroying Leach without all the facts, there is still someone at ESPN with enough integrity and cojones to say, “look, I don’t know all of the facts and don’t forget that there are two sides to this story”. Good on ya, Matich!

Nate's Take - Holiday & Outback Bowls

This is a bit slapdash and last-minute, but I’m working on about four different deadlines at the moment in two different mediums, so gimmie a break. Holiday Bowl Arizona has a tough defense and a capable offense. Nebraska has a great defense and a piss-poor offense. This one’s gonna be ugly, one way or another. I’m not going to pick against Suh, though. Nebraska wins, 8-7 ...

Adam's Take - Holiday & Outback Bowls

Holiday This game looks pretty straight forward to me. I haven’t seen much of Arizona this year, but their most impressive wins either came earlier in the year (Stanford, Oregon State) or were against floundering teams (USC). I’m not sure that the Wildcats stand a chance against the Nebraska defense. That, combined with the nicely balanced, but not overpowering Cornhuskers offense...

Mike Leach Fired?!

Yup. Texas Tech has fired head coach Mike Leach with cause over this Adam James kerfuffle. I’ve long been a fan of Mike Leach. I like the guy’s style and panache and wish that more head coaches had his kind of gusto on the sidelines. It’s hard to argue that there are many offensive minds as talented or brash as Leach. I think that Leach will land on his feet somewhere soon,...

Leach Gate Update: Texas Tech coach on the... →

I have to say that I totally buy Craig James as a “Little League Dad” and even though locking a kid in a cool, dark shed isn’t the most humane thing to do, it’s not like it’s the worst, either. I’m going to have to come down on the side of Mike Leach on this one. Of course, this might be the death blow for Leach at Texas Tech, where he’s gone through a...

Nate's Take - Pontsettia Bowl

Another busy day running around and accomplishing little with the in-laws means that I’m posting this last-minute pick for the Utah-Cal matchup in the Pointsettia Bowl from the backseat of a rental car somewhere in the exurbs of Omaha. Anyway, both of these teams were very over-hyped to start the season. Utah lost a ton of major contributors from last year’s team. Cal had Jahvid Best...

Adam's Take - Maaco/Las Vegas Bowl

This bowl is going to be a hell of a game for sure. Two high powered offenses facing off in the first big matchup of the bowl season. To be honest, my first inclination is to pick BYU. The Cougars’ passing game is certainly cause for concern, but I don’t think I am giving the Oregon State defense enough credit. Prior to the Civil War game, the Beavers hadn’t given up more...

Nate's Take - Las Vegas Bowl

It’s always difficult to pick bowl games. Most teams have been off for almost a month, players have been on the banquet circuit, have been enjoying the holiday season and have been studying for finals. Their attention has been anywhere but on football. But if there is one team over the last decade that have been able to maintain that razor-sharp focus going into a bowl game, it’s been Mike...

Unbeatens TCU, Boise State set for Fiesta Bowl -... →

Oh, c’mon, BCS. You’re gonna sit them at the fucking kid’s table? Really?! You know what I hope? I hope that this game is an utter classic that goes four OTs and is universally regarded as one of the best bowl games ever contested. Then I hope that the other bowls that could have taken TCU or Boise State are awful, barely-watchable affairs that get terrible Neilsen ratings and...

Our Best Guesses - Championship Weekend Edition

Nate - Once again, the college football regular season has gone by far too fast for my liking. For the regular season, my record rests at a respectable 41-29. It’s Championship and de facto championship weekend, so all of our picks are going to be either title games or games that are essentially title games. Adam - A 4-1 record last week keeps me in winning form going into the Bowls. Things...
