LWN And TMOC Go Head To Head

 

LWN and The Man of Cheese got together at the LWN staff offices to go Head to Head for a battle of college bowl supremacy.  Each remaining bowl game was chosen by the two, and a coin flip determined first choice in team picking.  We went through the games chronologically and chose using spreads available on 12/21.  The team not chosen by the writer was given to the other writer.  For example, if LWN chose Memphis +3.5, TMOC got FAU -3.5 and so on.

LWN’s Administrative Assistant Picks The Bowls

My master plan was to have the esteemed writers of LWN’s Sports Blog go head to head with the Admin Assistant picking bowl games.  So far Admin Assistant is the only one to give me the picks.  I guess when you don’t pay your writers they get to you whence they can.

Without further ado, these are the picks of someone who knows nothing about football except the following three things.

1. Indianapolis has a football team
2. That team’s nickname is the Colts
3. The Colts Quarterback is Peyton Manning

Here are her picks in choronological order.  No spreads were used, the games were chosen straight up.

College Football Bowl Preview – Edition 1

“College Coaches Are No Different Than South American Freedom Fighters.”

 

An open letter to college coaches-

Dear Money Grubbing Ego-maniacal Scumbags:

I understand that coaching can be a brutal profession, but as Gregg Easterbrook pointed out, it can also be done by volunteers (unlike surgeons).  The only reason that your families collapse, your health fades and you sleep in your offices is because each of you are trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Breaking Down the Heisman Show

It started with a crappy montage. It ended with Colt Brennan probably wondering why he flew 18 hours so that Chris Fowler could open up his past on live television. In between, well you can read that for yourself below!

LWN and blog author The Ultimate Decider of Justice (UDOJ) love montages at the opening of sports shows. UDOJ has become quite a source on montages and contends nothing can hold a candle to the opening scenes of CBS’ coverage of The Masters golf tournament.

NFL Week 14

“There is nothing wrong with being a hit whore” 

Before we start this week, I would like to point out that the traffic this site has generated lately has made LWN very happy.  Unfortunately, I am quickly becoming a hit whore and must see constant strides each day.  Anything under 700 hits per day is now wholly unacceptable.  SO with that in mind, I must mention what drives site traffic.  Without further ado-  Colt Brennan, Colt Brennan’s girlfriend, Tim Tebow, Tim Tebow crying, Helio Castroneves, Kelis, hair down dos, NFL Playoffs.

College Football Week Non-existent/ Heisman Hype

We have entered the doldrums of the 2007 college football season. While this is sad, we can reflect on the season. We can also discuss the Heisman Trophy which will be handed out on Saturday.

The season began with a bang, and ended with a thud for some teams. Let’s look at some of the madness that occurred.

Coaches Have Lost Their Voting Minds!

The Man of Cheese gives us a look at the seedy underbelly of coaches polls and their effect on the season as well as why you should not play a tough out of conference schedule.

So I took a look at the way the coaches voted in the final USA Today Coaches Poll. If you don’t know, this poll is a major factor in the BCS rankings. A few things that jump out at me from looking at this…

It’s Monday and I AM Angry Part IV

Fox’s Troy Aikman and Joe Buck need to stop announcing Giants games or my beautiful television might not survive. Their unprofessional rhetoric is getting old, damn quick. I have never seen a broadcast team go out of their way to talk so poorly about a player who has never been convicted of a crime.

If this seems like something I wrote before, that’s because I did.

The World Loves Colt Brennan.

Kaplan572 has some thoughts on Colt Brennan.  Not too many of them seem so positive.  Let the insults fly.

 

Colt Brennan is a Jackass.  There I said it.  He’s an untalented sexual offender (allegedly) that plays on a team that can beat its terrible opponents with or without him.  Do I know the guy?  Nope.  Does it matter?  Not one bit.  So here it is; the story of Colt Brennan.
