Barking Carnival

In what has to be considered one of the most uptight, contentious preseason interviews I've ever seen, Bo Pelini managed to come across even more prickish than usual. This wasn't a Dennis Green or Jim Mora styled meltdown. Nope, it was even more uncomfortable than that, mainly because the press conference came after, ummm, practice, before a snap had been taken in the 2010 seaason. I suspect there are police interrogations that are more

First let's start with the UCLA Bruins who had a Route 66 size ass-whooping coming their way even before being hit by a ridiculous rash of injuries/departures. Cap tip to our own Vegas Kyle for keeping up with Neuheisel's Mash Unit. Here's a list of the mounting Bruin injuries/departures: Projected Backup RB Milton Knox is transferring. Projected backup cornerback Marlon Pollard left the team. Projected starting QB Kevin Prince has been battling a Strained Oblique and

Qualifications for a BC Intern Has to be aware that Barking Carnival exists, or is at least open to the idea of its existence. It's a tough job market so we're not just going to settle for the next HenryJames. He's friendly with subjects and predicates alike. And, he has a penchant for introductory clauses that take the oomph out of a sentence from the get go. Heck, around here we call it the Trips Right Up

Sorry, I'm Jonesin' for football. If we can stop Neil Lomax, we have a chance.

First let's start with the big news out of Lincoln where it is rumored that Nebraska starting middle linebacker Sean Fisher has suffered a season ending leg injury. Rumor is that it is a broken fibula that requires surgery. That sucks for the young man as well as the Nebraska program. Fisher had 35 tackles last season, and was expected to quarterback the defense and provide experience at the Mike position

In the category of "keep your friends close and your bitter rival pinned under you after going Jimmy Super-fly Snuka off the top rope", there's some interesting news about our friends from the North. Some good, some bad, depending on which side of the Red River your allegiances reside. First, the big news of the week is Austin Box seems to have a suffered a potentially season ending back injury. An MRI taken

From Catch 22, aka Emmitt Smiff. If you want to cut to the chase on why I think these are the best "words" an inductee has laid down on the Canton pulpit, fast forward to the 7:30 mark. Emmitt daps off the rest of the triplets but that's not all. The crescendo comes when number 22 gives the most heartfelt thank you to a player who embodies the selflessness of the game in Darryl

Not to be confused with the Boys of Summer. This isn't 1941. No Joe Dimaggio 56 game hitting streak or Ted Williams hitting .406. This is football. The new American past-time and it has my allergies acting up because I knew what it meant to put on the eye black and do bear crawls in the Texas heat. I wore number 14 and played for the Little Rams at the

Yesterday on ESPN radio, Stoops once again proved he is basically a miserable failure as a public relations mouth-piece for his program. Can Bobby Jack Wright form complete sentences? He might be a better candidate to do these national media gigs. Check out the 33:40 mark of this podcast from the Scott Van Pelt show. Van Pelt's sidekick sets up his question by intimating that the Texas vs. Nebraska game is the

Starting in 2015 according to the Tribune. Look for our Notre Dame affiliate One Foot Down to have the Irish perspective on what amounts to an epic non-conference matchup down the road. As a Longhorn fan, I like the deal because Notre Dame has the gravitas to elevate a mediocre Big 12 schedule in the eyes of the national media if we ever see a 2008 scenario in the new Big 12.
