Barking Carnival

We all remember the stories and coverage that came almost solely from Yahoo! covering the fact that Reggie Bush and his family received benefits from agents and others that were courting him.

One of the coolest things about living in California, aside from paying taxes that makes Belgians wince, is the fact that college football is in full swing as I breakfast: usually a fiber-rich muesli bought fair trade from Andean Indiginos. After my exfoliating regimen, making a lease payment on my Range Rover, and my Scientology self-affirmations, I begin my game-watching.

Apparently bad enough that conference officials are deciding the outcomes of games. During undefeated LSU's game against Georgia on October 3rd, the officials incorrectly flagged Georgia with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after they took the lead with a little over a minute to play. LSU got the ball in good field position and scored with 33 seconds left to win it. Rogers Redding, the Southeastern Conference coordinator of officials, said the call should not have

My guess is that Florida is not focused and their lack of a true down field threat is a bigger problem than has been exposed thus far. I don't really buy that home field advantage means much in college football (most performances attributable to home field advantage come from a better team beating a worse one--Texas' stellar home record has almost zero to do with "home field advantage"), but I think LSU is one of

No Paxil involved. As disappointed as we all are that Texas doesn't have a directional school from a dubious conference to pummel this weekend, you don't have to fall prey to the Bye Week Blues.

Former Nebraska RB Thunder Collins convicted of murder - Suddenly Lawrence Phillips really is a good kid. Florida Gator safety Dorian Munroe underwent knee surgery - The story says he was fighting for a starting spot but some of the more informed Barkers will have to let us know how serious this is. Auburn backup running back Eric Smith knocked a guy out - He hit the guy in the back of the head.

LSU is looking to upgrade their football schedule, and they've already added home and home series with West Virginia, TCU, Arizona State, North Carolina State and Oklahoma. “Playing a big-name team every year is just something we’ve got to do if we’re going to compete for the national championship like we want to," says LSU athletic director Mike Alleva. Not sure that's true playing in the SEC, but it's a commendable if not supportable position.

Before pitching the deciding game against TCU in the super regional, Taylor Jungmann was asked about his nerves. “Nerves? I don't get nervous, man,” he said. Apparently not. He’s been fantastic the whole series (6 pitches last night excluded), and he was brilliant last night. He stayed down and away against LSU’s lefthanders with his two seam fastball. The Tigers are not a team that’s going to walk their way to a win, and Jungmann frustrated

Take a look at this map that I created showing BCS recruits in the state of Texas in 2008. A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it? Despite that, I'll add some more. Draw a line from Wichita Falls straight down to San Antonio. Now go straight across eastward to the Louisiana border and stop. Draw the line up the Louisiana border north all the way to the

He hired Ed Orgeron as his defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. This comes on the heels of his hiring of former Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis for the same position at LSU.
