Alternate title: MuffBurger’s career is over
In last night’s Wisconsin/Illinois game, Erin Andrews was the sideline reporter. Brent Musburger mentions how big a rock star Erin Andrews is as the crowd chanted her name as she gave a report. Lavin adds that she is bigger than Elvis or the Beatles. Muffburger said, […]

I have been as guilty as anyone in getting frustrated with Mack Brown over the course of his 10-year tenure. I’ve even called for his head at several points. I want to say right now that I think those of you who assume we have to resort to a wine-sipping John Mackovic have […]

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 […]

Well, another kiss your sooner sister last week going 2-2. Overall, 24-20-3, up four units for the year. The writeups this week will be short and sweet, mainly because it’s a big card and I’ve had a very busy week.
Wisconsin -7.5 vs. Indiana. After two disappointing road losses Wisky bounced back in […]

The situation in Nebraska just keeps getting better.
A Nebraska student has written a book about the history of the football program. He had help from a former trainer, Doak Ostergard. Ostergard provided some juicy stories, some of which were excerpted in the Daily Nebraskan yesterday.
Ostergard told a story of Callahan being upset with Osborne […]

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 […]

Illinois is giving head coach Ron Zook a contract extension and a raise. How else do you reward a coach who is 9-21 at Illinois and 32-34 overall?
But things are different this year. Zook has huge wins over, uh, Penn State? Wisconsin? And he barely lost to Missouri.
“Our football program has made considerable progress under […]

Our opening offensive play - a 58 yard broken play McCoy TD pass to Jordan Shipley - told us all we needed to know about the eventual outcome of the game, the quality of Iowa St, the bizarre consistency of a Gene Chizik defense, the current state of our offense, and the unyielding inanity of […]

Gaining some momentum, I’m now a solid 14-10-2 overall and a perfect 4-0 on double unit plays. Up 8 units minus juice ain’t too shabby.
All plays 1 unit unless stated otherwise. Here are the plays.
Southern Miss +11 @ Boise State. Yes, I realize this game is being played on the smurf turf, but this isn’t […]

If you play for Ohio State, your chances of winning an award goes up. I’m not talking about national awards, nor am I talking about the kind of year end awards that are handed out at football banquets. Like at say Texas.
I’m talking about awards that Ohio State hands out after every game.They have the […]
