The Cleveland Indians' mascot must go
Chief Wahoo is the Cleveland Indians' mascot, a grotesque caricature grinning idiotically through enormous bucked teeth. He's a reminder of the days when whites regarded native Americans as savages on the warpath, with scalps dangling from their belts. And it's time for him to go.

Brent Musburger Has Officially Lost It, Mentions Erin Andrews And Playboy (Among Other Things)
Brent Musburger and Steve Lavin's call of the Illinois-Wisconsin game last night, but it was definitely one for the ages. Not only did Musburger rant about Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson (ending it with "Ya gotta abstain, buddy") AND ask Steve Lavin if he wants to get a beer after the game.....but he mentioned Erin Andrews going to the Playboy Mansion.

Are you ready for the Big Ten poetry slam?
Through some investigative reporting, I've gotten my hands on a couple of entries. From an Illinois student: Traitor, Eric Gordon / You are a disgrace / You chose another school / So I'll throw bricks at your face / I'm mad because we suck / But my anger is not misplaced / I'm going to cut off your head / Because we need something to fill our trophy case

 LS-Who Cares?
LS-Who Cares?
For most of America, last night's BCS "National Championship Game" had all the importance of the GMAC Bowl from the night before. And half of the excitement. Crow all you want LSU fans, very few people outside of Louisiana think you won a legit national title. Sure you got your crystal ball by beating a vastly overrated Ohio State team (they lost to Illinois at home for Christ's sake) 38-24

Tonight is the inevitable day that Eric Gordon wished would never come. On November 2005, the North Central High School superstar gave a verbal commitment to Bruce Weber and the Illini.

MVN's Football University: Rose Bowl preview
In what is my childhood favorite bowl game, the Rose Bowl, I find one of the teams I like the least in college sports, USC (10-2) and a team that has turned it around under their head coach Ron Zook, Illinois (9-3).
