Barking Carnival

I continue to fall farther and farther below the Mendoza line of betting (55%) and it's starting to get to me. After watching the Kentucky Wildcats choke away a cover and suffering two kick returns for TD's against me in different games during my gambling day, I proceeded to make my way to DKR Stadium from my tailgate local, stumbling drunk and hell bent on chasing my losses. Cell phone in hand and

With all the talk of "style points" and strength of schedule being bandied about this week, and with the bowl season about to be unleashed, there no doubt will be more talk about the relative strengths of the BCS conferences. Before the bowl matchups between leagues get started, here are some basics Overall BCS Opponents Conference W-L W-L Big 12 38-10 79% 7-8 47% ACC 37-11 77% 15-8 65% SEC 37-11 77% 6-9 40% Big 10 32-12 73% 6-7 46% Big East 28-12 70% 9-7 56% Pac 10 14-17 45% 6-8 43% Yes,

North Carolina football coach Butch Davis was at the top of most Tennessee fans wish list to replace Phil Fulmer. But Davis apparently is telling Tennessee thanks, but no thanks.

Went a modest 2-2 last week but lost my 2 unit play. The Great Pumpkin needs to be fired for the effort Tennessee put forth. Goodness I hate Phil Fulmer. My lord. The wins, however, were routine with Mizzou and Oregon routs. The tOSU game looked to be in the bag for a nice 3-1 day until Pryor fumbled in plus territory when a field goal ensures the cover.

and they want him now.

Now that Tommy Bowden has been fired mutually agreed to step down at Clemson, we can look at potential candidates. Muschamp's name will surface for every job, but I don't think this is the one.

MGoBlog's Brian Cook has masterminded a scheme so clever that its best expression could only occur in the Oxbridge accent of a Bond villain. However, instead of threatening you with piranha nipple clamps and a plot to take over world financial markets (too late), MGoBlog brings together whoever is available the elites of the blogosphere and intermingles their rankings like polygamist's children in the weekly Top 25 beauty contest known as

These were the two most impressive teams I watched yesterday. I'm not saying they're the two best teams in the country, but they both looked great. The biggest difference between the Trojan teams of the last two years and this year's team is quarterback play. Pete Carroll: "Mark (Sanchez) is resourceful in the pocket. That's an exciting aspect of our offense that I felt like we didn't have the last couple of years. I think we

Just before Signing Day, we talked here about the Recruiting Rankings analysis that SMQ performed and he concluded how accurately Rivals was predicting winning percentages.
