Like who the fuck are these guys? No, this is not a generic modeling photo advertising “sportswear” in the Sears catalogue. This is a band actually called Five. No, I am not joking. I’m not a huge music guy but I can at least tell you the names of bands and artists. These guys? Nope. Have no clue who they are. And some people who are not crazy college football fans like myself might look at some of the programs in the Group of Five and ask “Who the fuck are they?” I could see that happening with Kennesaw State, the newest FBS squad. Or next year with Delaware and Missouri State, the next two ..read more

I did this last year. It was a raging success (from a time management perspective). So let’s fucking do it again! Who’s with me? I hope you’re still with me because if not this is a long post for few to read. We will start with a change that might feel the weirdest of them all with all the changes coming this season. The SEC on CBS is no more. Now it’s the Big Ten (and sometimes the Mountain West) on CBS. CBS had a steal with the SEC for years, financially. They were paying $55 million a year during that final contract that ended last year. What is CBS paying now for the Big Ten? Honestly, I ..read more

That sounds a bit like a Don West intro. And, not gonna lie, if I had the money back in the day I would have been all over those baseball card deals. I mean those cards are worth almost nothing now but at that time, in the Junk Wax era as it is known as, I loved collecting cards. And I wasn’t one of those people who thought I could collect a ton and then sell it and eventually retire on that one sale like some idiots out there. I just liked collecting the cards. Problem was, being a completionist, I always wanted to finish sets. That was the most important thing. Not getting the best or most ..read more

You excited? I’m excited. My shirt isn’t off though…yet. It’s been a month since I have posted but it has felt like a lot longer. A lot has been happening on the personal side of things. You know that feeling. You look back at something and you realize it was only three weeks ago when it feels like it was three months ago. Kind of the opposite of COVID which feels like it happened a decade ago. Don’t even remind me of 2020 in sports. Ugh. So, schedules are getting formulated, college football preview magazines are coming out, FBSchedules has released their helmet schedules…everything is start ..read more

Yeah, why not. Not like I am stupidly busy with life. Alright we made it through all seven rounds (and the various undrafted signees over the following 48 hours). It was a slog at time but there was some very interesting spots during the three days, especially night one. Let’s just do this point form, shall we? I don’t feel like putting a ton of effort into something that is done in a much more thorough fashion by some websites who go as far as rating EVERY PICK. Yeah I’m not doing that. The most stunning development of the draft, by a country mile, was the Atlanta Falcons and their pick at t ..read more

…..the final Mock Draft! Yep, not kidding. This is it. I’m not going to do like four in a matter of six days or something ridiculous like that. I have a job and a life (sort of) outside of this blog. I also know things may change on the day of the draft (or more like opening day of the draft). Nothing I can do about that. Let the experts deal with it. Between ESPN and the NFL Network there has to be about 70 mock drafts ready to go in the half hour before the draft begins. So without further adieu, let’s get to l’ébauche finale: First Round 1 Chicago Caleb Williams, QB (USC) 2 Washington ..read more

The A stands for April. Or Awesome. Or Asshole. Whatever. Mock draft time! And it’s three glorious rounds of (probably) incorrect picks. Lovin’ it! Let’s go! First Round 1 Chicago Caleb Williams, QB (USC) 2 Washington Drake Maye, QB (North Carolina) 3 New England Jayden Daniels, QB (LSU) 4 Arizona Marvin Harrison Jr., WR (Ohio State) 5 LA Chargers Quinyon Mitchell, CB (Toledo) 6 NY Giants Dallas Turner, EDGE (Alabama) 7 Tennessee Olu Fashanu, OT (Penn State) 8 Atlanta Malik Nabers, WR (LSU) 9 Chicago Rome Odunze, WR (Washington) 10 NY Jets Joe Alt, OT (Notre Dame) 11 Mi ..read more

That intro sounds like when The (Big Money!) Match Game 1976 would air on Game Show Network. Why did they need to put the year in? When people were watching it live, were they so fucking stoned that they had to be reminded what year it was? Anyway, I am starting this post a couple days after Selection Sunday. Now I am not an avid college basketball watcher but I know they screwed some of these picks up. And remember, when a conference gets a team in, they get more money. That’s important. The ACC got five teams in and Virginia was one of them and they may be one of the worst at-large choices e ..read more

Holy shit that came up fast. It felt like only a week ago we were a ways away from conference tournament time. Then BOOM! Here we are. Even with a leap year, March crept up on me. This is my eighth time doing this. This will be some of the last games of any sport shown on the Pac-12 Network so indulge yourself. Or don’t. Not like it’s a great conference network or anything. Alright, let us begin. March 8th OVC Semi-Final #1 8:00 March 8th OVC Semi-Final #2 10:30 March 9th MVC Semi-Final #1 3:30 March 9th MVC Semi-Final #2 6:00 March 9th OVC Championship 8:00 March 9th W ..read more

Do I have time to do this? No. So why am I doing it? I honestly don’t know. I think I just feel I should put a bit more into the offseason portion of my blog. I mean it is half the year and there have been times I have gone dark for like a month. What will people read? The newspaper? Get the fuck outta here. Honestly, I feel that even though this blog will turn 11 in a few months, I haven’t tried enough to take it to the next level, so to speak. Maybe not more posts but better posts. More informative stuff. It almost feels like this may be a make-or-break twelve months for me. With all the sh ..read more
