In Alabama, Football is Above the Law
Throughout Alabama, when the Crimson Tide have a football game, the streets empty, business stops, and all eyes turn to the ballgame. So it should come as no surprise that a unique “Motion to Continue” (in layman’s terms — a request to delay a trial) was recently filed in a Birmingham court. The reason? An […]

Coach Knows Best
Whatever happened to some good, old-fashioned tough love?
So what if Mike Leach stuck Adam James in a dark shed and forced him to remain standing for hours? And what’s the big deal if two days later, when James returned to practice, Leach threw him in an electrical closet for a few more hours, forcing him […]

Urban Loves Flip-Flops
A few days ago, Urban Meyer set the college football world ablaze with his announcement that he was resigning as head coach at the University of Florida. Almost immediately, the major TV outlets started preparing retrospectives on Meyer’s career, insisting that his exit from the game was like Joe Gibbs or Barry Sanders: guys who […]
BCS Headquarters — Selection Sunday
It’s hard to believe that another regular season is in the books for the BCS Committee. From dealing with the pesky non-conference teams, to hitting the bottle when the season started to drag, the Chimps have had another wild ride. And who can forget the addition of the lovely new secretary, Jenny.
But yesterday was the […]

All Hail Bill Hancock: College Football Postseason Czar!
Last week, Sports Illustrated’s Dan Patrick sat down with Bill Hancock, the former director of the NCAA basketball tournament who was recently named the executive director of the BCS system, for yet another mind numbing conversation about the BCS.
Patrick asked, “Why not have a final four where three of the bowls determine the national champion?” […]
BCS Headquarters — Lunch Break
It’s crunchtime at BCS Headquarters and the office is buzzing with activity. From putting together conference summaries to compiling the data from the most recent polls, there’s barely even enough time to take a lunch break. And with Selection Sunday just around the corner, the days are only getting longer for the hardest working chimps […]

BCS Headquarters — Break out the Good Stuff
For most of the season, the job of ranking college football’s top teams has been as complicated as ever…but not this week.
Sure, there was the Ohio St.-Michigan snoozefest and Notre Dame found yet another way to lose…but what happened to “every week counts?” What are the most powerful chimps in sports supposed to do when […]

BCS Headquarters — Interoffice Romance
A few weeks ago, Jenny the secretary made her first appearance at BCS Headquarters. And while most of us have only gotten a glimpse of her, she’s been all the rage around the office. It’s gotten to the point where we wouldn’t be surprised if Mason were to receive a restraining order sometime in the […]

Point/Counterpoint: Is it even worth watching anymore?
Point: With Bowl Season still over a month and a half away, I find it highly disturbing that this question needs to be asked. The beauty of the current system is that each and every game counts, and even a game against an unranked opponent can have as big of an effect on your season […]

All You Need is Grub
Head Coaches set a standard with how they present themselves, and they’re expected to look the part. You can’t just throw on the clipboard/headset combo and expect to command respect — you gotta have some added style. In the NBA, Pat Riley’s trend-setting hairstyle inspired the likes of Gordon Gecko and Chase Utley, and even […]

BCS Headquarters — The Return of “Old Reliable”
Unlike Baseball’s 162 game snoozefest or Basketball’s 5 month regular season, in College Football, every week truly counts — a single loss can spoil a team’s National Title hopes faster than Tim Tebow can say a Hail Mary. And this year, with so many teams still undefeated this late into the season, the job of […]
