UCLA sucks. That is all. P.S. Enjoy your Pac-12 South “championship”! Have fun at Autzen! HAHAHAHAHA
Last night, while most sports fans in Denver were watching some guy named Tebow lead his team to another improbable comeback, I was at Magness Arena, watching the DU Pioneers knock off Conference USA’s Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, 59-52. Here’s my full 800 Games Project write-up of the game, over at the Mid-Majority. Excerpt: Denver’s offense…showed flashes of brilliance that… Read more »
In the last few years as a Penn State fan, I had one main fear: that somehow, Joe Paterno’s tenure at Penn State University would end in ignomy. Penn State fans like myself had prided themselves on the lack of scandal at the program: seemingly the last football program without one. It seemed too good to last. And as Paterno’s… Read more »
A shake-up at the top of the BCS rankings could benefit the Pac-12, but there was plenty of shake-up to go around here at home too. Meanwhile, Larry Scott and the Pac-12 watch with amusement as the rest of the country is in the grips of the latest rounds of Conferencemageddon. 1. Stanford (7-0, 5-0 Pac-12) LW: 1 The Cardinal… Read more »

The situation in the North is exactly where we left it a week ago. In the South, there has been some shuffling between the two trios of teams, but the gap between the two divisions looms larger than ever. This week, we get a slate of 5 conference match ups, while Oregon and Cal enjoy a bye week to prepare… Read more »
The final night of Major League Baseball’s regular season was ridiculous, absurd, impossible, unbelievable, indescribable. Thanks to a win earlier in the evening by the St. Louis Cardinals, the Atlanta Braves needed a win to force a one-game playoff for the NL wild card that they once seemed certain to win (having led by 10 1/2 games in late August)….

As expected, Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe resigned today as part of the latest effort to save the Big 12. This caused the most hilarious account on Twitter, Fake Dan Beebe — the funniest fake tweeter since @MayorEmanuel and his pet duck Quaxelrod disappeared into the motherf***ing time portal — to go out in an absolute blaze of glory, one… Read more »
