The guy who writes EDSBS (where I get my daily college football fix) also blogs for the Sporting News, and he was recently at D1 sports in Tennessee to see how he stacks up against college and pro athletes. The obvious answer is “poorly”, but just how poorly is what he wanted to measure. He [...]

EA Sports, of “It’s In The Game” fame, are gearing up to release their NCAA Football ‘09 edition for the Wii, and they’ve set up a contest to let average shmoes like you and me decide which college mascot will be on the cover. Even if you don’t have a college mascot to root for, [...]

… I swear. Promise. Cross my heart.
This is more for the Florida fans looking for someone to blame for last week’s loss. Mergz at Saurian Sagacity had an unbelievable number of tickets and is one well-connected Gator fan judging by the people he hangs with on game day. Apparently he forgot the cardinal rule of [...]

I know I’m laying it on kind of thick considering I’m and Auburn and Florida fan (yes, it’s possible), but even folks who don’t follow football should find this funny.

I get kind of vocal when I watch Auburn or Florida games, as most sports fans often do. I’m sure my neighbors heard my feelings about [...]

I was waiting for this (Sometimes even ninjas lose, baby).
Also, huge thanks to From the Bleachers (one of the two Auburn blogs I regularly read) for not publicizing his thoughts about Auburn before the game. He quotes Hank Hill on mojo, I’ll quote myself on ju-ju:
Ju-ju… don’t you f***ing dare even think about screwing with [...]

This really sucks for the SEC in general because Florida’s going to fall hard. Auburn is my alma mater, but I grew up rooting for Florida. I still do root for Florida. Year in and year out, I only want to see a good game when my two teams play one another. Aside from a [...]

Wow… I just looked up what “Rammer Jammer” means. Remember the heavily tattooed ‘Bama redneck from the EDSBS post:

The “Rammer Jammer Cheer” is a traditional and controversial cheer which taunts the Crimson Tide’s football opponents. It typically is played towards the end of a game when an Alabama victory is certain. Fans cheer:
Hey Tigers!
Hey Tigers!
Hey [...]

The scary kind of sacred.
The closest to this I’ve seen at an Auburn game was an old VW van painted in blue with scores of all the games it had attended hand-painted in orange all over. It had been to quite an impressive number of games.

Hammerin’ Hank has been relegated to second place. Supposedly. Depending on what version of the story you believe, Barry Bonds may or may not have had pharmaceutical assistance in surpassing Aaron’s record to become baseball’s home run king. As a Braves fan, and more importantly someone who thinks Barry knew exactly what he was doing, [...]

Prior to the [NAME REDACTED] Bowl (notice how I’m not calling it the “National Championship game”), Nike got both Florida and Ohio State to agree to a little wager. Whichever school’s student body logged the most miles of walking/running/jogging would have their mascot erected on the loser’s campus:

One might argue that asking residents of Columbus, [...]
