Barking Carnival

Last year I looked at the Ohio State-USC game and pretty much nailed what was going to happen. Oh, big deal you say. But bring yourself back to that time.

At least according to two college football writers. Matt Hayes of the Sporting News has Meyer first followed by Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Bob Stoops and Brian Kelly. He has Mack Brown sixth, and does not have Marc Richt in his top 15. Before anyone gets too upset about the rankings, remember that this is the same Matt Hayes who wrote this: Anyone who has followed Texas quarterback Vince Young and Texas A&M quarterback Reggie

Jim Tressel has coached in over 40 post-season games at Youngstown State and Ohio State, but he says the upcoming Fiesta Bowl against Texas has him as excited as getting a new sweater vest for Christmas.

Jim Tressel can’t wait for next Monday.

Inspired by our abortive effort in utilizing the McCoy/Chiles Q package (which Barking Carnival Readers dubbed The Cluster Flux) word out of Ohio is that we may see Todd Boeckman on the field at the same time as Terrelle Pryor. Think of the kinetic energy that will crackle when the 240 pound Boeckman and his 4.95 40 takes the field next to Pryor! The Ohio State blogworld is quite excited at the

Bowl Test We're playing Ohio State in La Fiesta and that can only mean: a). a clash of traditional powers b). a plethora of fat pasty drunks with goatees endlessly spelling the name of their state in Scottsdale bars c). Ohio State men doing that as well d). a lengthy series of erroneous Terrelle-Pryor-Vince Young comparison during the telecast e). pre-game stories focused on Jordan Shipley and Colt McCoy's unconsummated heterosexual love affair f). all of the above In observation

Here are the ten best current coaches presented in an inarguable top ten list:

Over the last three years, Ohio State's offense has been largely responsible for all five of their losses. You'll hear pundits argue that it's their "slow Big 10 defense" that can't keep up with the spread and, though there are small elements of truth there (despite what the NFL draft consistently demonstrates), the key area to look at is on the offensive side of the ball. In fact, it's overwhelmingly the place you

Nothing arouses passion like the the rivalry game. The backyard brawl, the battle for bragging rights, the border war tussle. Even a fan with no dog in the fight can feel the tension...and their own confusion. Who to pull for? Investing yourself for three hours in a team that is not your own can be deeply satisfying, but if you choose foolishly, you'll feel as dirty as Paris Hilton's sheets. I've done that

As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked -- particularly given this weekend's Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year's coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.

Yeah, I'll fucking whack you

Michigan – They used to say, “You can’t spell Lloyd Carr without 2 L’s” and last

Or as Ohio State coach Jim Tressell says, "People there should understand when I say Tim Beckman is tornadic.” Story in today's Daily Oklahoman has the details. When he was secondary coach at Western Carolina, he head butted one of his players in the helmet during pre-game and drew blood. When he lost a game of pictionary among family and friends, he lectured his partner before tearing the curtains off the wall. His mother used to
