Well, it’s been out there as being borderline official for a little while now, but there’s something about it becoming official that makes the sting come back a little. Really, Skip? 12 million bones wasn’t quite what you were looking for? I’ll bet Turner Gill would love a nice $12 million gig.
Speaking from a very [...]

Connecticut at Rutgers (+1.5):
Wouldn’t it be nice if this was just [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 7
We’re staring down the barrel of a lean week in Big East play and into the headlights of a Cadillac. Sweet. As you’re watching the game Saturday against West Virginia, make sure that you don’t disturb those around as you softly whisper “It’s almost over” to yourself while curled up in the fetal position weeping.
Recapping [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 6
No Orange game this week (mercifully). I’ll get wrong make a few picks for the remaining Big East games along with a couple other contests that arouse my interest. Also, thank you South Florida for refusing to be the flagship program of the conference this season. We appreciate it.
Cincinnati at Marshall (+3.5):
I’m not ready to [...]

Thanks For Helping Our National Profile, ESPN
It’s been well-documented that ESPN has been beating the proverbial dead horse lately when it comes to discussing the sad state of our football program. Then this comes along and I wonder – what’s the point? Now normally I’m all for SU getting a national broadcast, but perhaps the people in charge of the schedule [...]

Week 5 Recap
Talk about a chaotic week. Nine of the top 25 teams in college football go down, including six to unranked teams. Mr. Douche himself, Nick Saban, has proven once again that no matter his personal shortcomings he is a program-building fiend. The shine hath officially worn off the East Carolina Pirates after their second straight [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 5/Big East Thoughts
In life, choices must be made.
Am I feeling like spicy mustard on my sandwich today, or do I go straight-up, old reliable yellow? Do I start Damon Huard this week in fantasy football or do I leave the QB slot empty and try to avoid negative points? Granted, there are tougher decisions and right now [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 4
The picks are back, my friends. Last week was a nice change of pace from the previous two, though I did stumble on my road dog upset. No worries though. This is pretty late but I wanna get it posted this morning so we’ll just dive right in.
Iowa at Pittsburgh (Pick – No Line):
In a [...]

Saturday Pick’em – Week 3
After a disappointing performance last week, the picks return for Week 3. We’re really starting to ramp up the season with some big match-ups. It’s a light week for the Big East – just 4 games – and Rutgers didn’t exactly get us off on the right foot. I’ll pick the remaining pair of conference [...]

A Script Even Hollywood Wouldn’t Dare Greenlight
This Saturday – from the writers who brought you Mounting The Big House and 18-1 – comes the greatest football story never told. Based on completely contrived events,The Stunner Over State is an epic saga of competent coaching, form tackling, perfectly-timed passes to wide receivers and honest, direct answers to press-conference questions.
Set in the hilly [...]
