Don't Bet On It!: College Football's National Game of Disinterest
My substantive prognostications having been offered for your amusement (though likely not your edification), I now turn to the final college football contest of the weekend warranting mention, though, in reality, I allude to it only because it is so singularly lacking in significance. I am...
Realignment Evening Update: Conference Consolidation Might Include Not-So-Superconferences
OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS The OU board of regents had a meeting today and authorized president David Boren to take action on realignment. That's the same action Texas A&M's board took with its president Bowen Loftin prior to it joining the SEC. Boren says he's has conversations with the Pac-12 that were...
Don't Bet On It!: Week Three College Football Predictions for the National Games of Interest
You have seen this week’s SEC picks, so now it is time for me to bring you my forecasts for the national games of interest. After going 5-0 in last week’s national predictions to improve to 8-3 for the autumn, I am tempted to tell you I might have some idea what in the sam hill I’m doing, but we...
The Georgia Bulldogs, the Boise State Broncos, "The Godfather, Part II," and What Makes Life Worth Living: Five Questions for OBNUG
As you know, I answered some questions for Kevan over at OBNUG, while also entering into an agreement---not a wager, I tell you!---that has earned me some criticism in certain circles. In any case, the Labor Day weekend edition of "Too Much Information" has been bumped to mid-day, in order for me...
2011 College Football Conference Championship Predictions
We are close enough to college football season to smell it, so it is high time I got around to offering a few preseason predictions. I will begin by forecasting this year’s conference champions, but be forewarned; I did a lousy job of this last season, so there is little reason for you to believe I...
2010 College Football Preseason Predictions Revisited, Redux
Ere we get to the build-up to the 2011 college football season, we must first close out the 2010 campaign. This I began doing yesterday, when I revisited and reviewed my general preseason predictions from last summer, and I now continue that exercise by looking back at my specific conference...
2010 College Football Preseason Predictions Revisited
It was not, I assure you, my intention to put off until July my review of my 2010 predictions; to the contrary, I just got so caught up in basketball season between January and March that revisiting my previous forecasts simply fell by the wayside. However, now that the Maple Street Press annual is...
Would Gary Patterson Make a Better Head Coach for the Georgia Bulldogs Than Mark Richt?
I am sick and tired of hearing people say "Well I mean who would we get to replace Richt" When I hear those words I immediately dismiss the speaker as someone that the State should have euthanized at birth not only for population control but also in an effort to de-muddy the gene pool. I have...
MWC Stops Expansion, Potentially Spares the WAC
In the days leading up to President Obama's State of the Union speech last night, many people expected him to deliver a message about cooperation and working together. That spirit of civility must have made it to the MWC Board of Directors meeting in Las Vegas, because the conference decided to do...
Don't Bet On It!: 2010-2011 College Football Bowl Predictions (Part I)
My predictions for championship Saturday fared badly indeed; I correctly called the SEC Championship Game to improve my league ledger for the season to 53-13, but my 1-3 record in the weekend’s remaining games stranded me at 37-25 in non-conference outings. The reality to which that should alert...
