Ten questions I can’t wait to be answered this weekend
 
1.) The question that’s on all Buckeye fans’ minds- which little piggy of Beanie’s is injured and is it going to the market this weekend against Ohio University? The answer is no. 2.) MAC question #1: Will Michigan start the 2008 season 0-2? With a quality MAC team coming in in the form of Miami University, I’d put the chances at 50/50. Michigan is currently favored ...

The SI College Football Tour Guy is back for another season of tailgating hilarity. They haven’t posted last week’s video on Youtube yet so until they do, here are the highlights from season 2. Enjoy!

The Bottom Ten
 
This is a risky exercise given there’s only one game to reference, but here are the ten worst teams statistically speaking on offense and defense. The Ten Worst Offenses in America The Ten Worst Defenses in America There are certainly a couple of teams that jumped out to me. In the wake of their game against USC, Virginia shows up on both lists ranking fifth worst on offense ...

Recapping the Weekend
 
The first weekend of the 2008 college football season resembled the 2007 vintage in many ways. Several blowouts, a couple conferences shined, a couple conferences stunk the place up, and several games left you scratching your head saying “What the hell was that?” On to the picks… NC State @ South Carolina On Wednesday I wrote “South Carolina is favored (over NC ...

Creampuffs
 
Much will be made in the early part of this college football season about this team playing this pansy or that team playing that helpless JV team. We’re here to set you straight (as usual) and provide you with the truth, mostly the whole truth, and nearly nothing but the whole truth. And analysis of the facts is a little startling. Did you know….of the teams in the AP top 15, ...

West Coast Sibling Rivalry
 
Many of you have probably seen the ad that appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Monday with new UCLA Head Coach Rick Neuheisel calling his shot against the USC Trojans. . Gotta love cross-town rivalries. Not to be outdone, Trojan fans have responded in proper fashion by photoshopping the original (as seen on www.wizofodds.com ) and improving it ever so slightly. Bring on the smack ...

Buckeye Nation
 
The Ohio State Buckeyes may not verbalize thoughts of redemption or revenge this year, but Buckeye nation certainly is. We’ve seen a lot of homemade fan videos, but this one certainly gets an Emmy for production quality. Enjoy!

CFB Games You Shouldn’t Miss: Week 1
 
College football officially kicks off Thursday night with the usual smattering of JV matchups. The first Saturday isn’t spectacular as far as opening weekends go, but definitely has a couple games you need to watch: NC State @ South Carolina Thursday, 8pm ESPN Admittedly, this isn’t a great matchup, but if you’re like me, you’ll take any sniff of a decent game on ...

Olympic Retrospective: Beijing Style (extra spicy)
 
With the conclusion of the Olympics in Beijing on Sunday, a proper retrospective is in order (limited of course to the mainstream events- sorry don’t have time to search through all the Judo or synchronized swimming footage). First the good thoughts: the single greatest performance of the games was Jamaican Usain Bolt obliterating the field in the men’s 100m sprint. It ...

Can I play that game Mom? No!
 
Ok then, I’ll just go get the damn thing myself! Several things about this interest me in a weird way: 1. The total lack of concern by the father(?). 2. The fact that Mom didn’t believe little Johnny when he said “Sis is in da machine Ma!” and she continued right out the door. 3. The employee who just wishes they would all move so he can finish cleaning the door ...

Can You Hear Me Now??
 
I guess this is a Verizon viral. Personally, I’d have taken off running and crossed a busy street against the light just to see how many of the “network” I could take out. But that’s just me.

Breakfast of a Champion!
 
I like a good diner breakfast as much as anyone else, but I’m pretty sure I would fail just as miserably as this guy if I tried to eat Michael Phelps’ breakfast. I especially like the reaction of his cameraperson at about 1:35 when he burps!

Debate 101
 
Flip through the pages of the University debate manual, way to the back, and you’ll find strategic tractic 27.11: when backed into a corner by your opponent and when shaking your head too and fro’ doesn’t work, drop your pants. Thus was the tactic employed by Fort Hays State University Debate Coach William “full moon” Hays vs. Pittsburgh Debate Coach Shanara ...

Mark’s Public Service Announcement
 
By now you know that Anheuser-Busch was sold to a foreign company (InBev of Belgium). Help me in boycotting Anheuser-Busch since they are sellouts. Drop your beer off at my house & I will dispose of it. We’ll teach those bastards.

A Simple Solution
 
Aaron Rodgers led the Packers last night in the beginning of the Brett Favre-less era. The Packers lost the pre-season game 20-17 to the Bengals but Rodgers looked sharp going 9-15 for 117 yards. To help bridge the gap for the fans who are still bitter that Brett Favre has gone off to the J-e-t-s, Jets, Jets, Jets, we’ve got two very simple solutions: Option # 1: Aaron Rodgers should ...

4 X 100
 
If you missed coverage of the Olympics Sunday night, you missed one of the greatest swim races I’ve ever seen (admittedly, I haven’t seen many). If you saw it, you know that I’m referring to the men’s 4 X 100 relay. The conclusion of that race is worth watching, even if you’ve already seen it. Unfortunately the punks at NBC don’t provide code to embed the ...
