College Football Title Games

“Class of 1998 HERE I COME!”

Do you remember the Enterprise commercial circa 2006?  With the guy “Moose”  who is told he is “looking good” by a couple of two-bit skanks?  Well that was nothing like my high school reunion.  Yes, I did rent an Enterprise Car at a family discount since I made up that I am someone’s family member, but sadly I didn’t bring the Sentra to pick up ladies.  The Man of Cheese (TMOC) had his mom drop us off and pick us up, well because that’s how we roll.  I can’t find the damn commercial I am referring to, but here is one from a similar time frame.

College Football Week 11

November 7, 2008

“An Ode to Fulmer”

 

The Byrds once sang, “To every season turn, turn, turn.”  Well it seems the puke-clad Volunteer faithful have heeded the advice of and are breaking up with Phil Fulmer.  Usually I would take great pride in mocking such a move but I think that all of these coaching moves are made as snap judgements which are pretty unfair.  At this point who in the world wants to take this job?  I know what the Volunteers base wants, either David Cutcliffe or a young coach who will energize the fan base next season.  But here’s why it is unfair.

College Football: Week 7

October 9, 2008

The road to the BCS Championship goes through the Big 12?

Chiggity Chase Daniel and Sultry Sam Bradford are lighting up scoreboard from Norman to Columbia to Lincoln to Seattle, both teams have led the conference on a roll that is unprecedented in my recent memory.  I have touched on this before briefly but, can any conference boast the talent that the Big XII has in the QB position?  Hands down SEC folks, the power has shifted to the Midwest.

The offensive rankings are simply too powerful to ignore.

LWN And TMOC Go Head To Head

December 21, 2007

Bowl Pick em 

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.

December 12, 2007

MilhouseSports fans…. The holidays are upon us, college football is in their annual 3 week lull, and obviously nobody cares about the NBA… What better time to reflect on the years best/biggest stories.

Thrillho is heading home for the holidays, so he leaves you with his top ten run down (in no particular order). Please submit comments at the end and share your top stories of 2007: Read the rest of this entry »


Breaking Down the Heisman Show

December 10, 2007

Heisman Trophy Tebow

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. Read the rest of this entry »


College Football Week Non-existent/ Heisman Hype

December 5, 2007

Football

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.

“So who gets screwed this year?” – BCS 2007

December 3, 2007

screwIf you were bored by College Football this year, then you will NEVER find it exciting. Perhaps you should take up knitting or gardening, or get a lapdog that you can dress up. Seemingly every week a #2 team would lose, throwing a wrench in the indestructible gears of the BCS machine. I cant even tell you how many OT thrillers, or insane comebacks there were this year. Hell, the year started with a Michican loss to Appy State. It was a speeding train of awesomeness that, last night, slammed into a wall. No one could have predicted this year, so what better way to decide the fate of these teams than a bunch of old guys casting votes? It seems so logical!! Why let teams play it out for the best in the country? I know, every year we debate this, every year someone gets screwed, every year nothing changes. Still, it must be said. So air your grievances LWN fans, after all it is Monday and you are probably at work, what else do you have to do? Read the rest of this entry »


The Man of Cheese With His Picks 11/29

November 29, 2007

Welcome to college football rivalry week. Wait a minute… wasn’t last week college football rivalry week? Only in a sport like college football – where National Championships are won by avoiding a difficult non conference schedule (I’m talking to you West Virginia and Ohio State) – can there be two rivalry weeks. But I guess having two rivalry weeks is better than one, right? I mean last week we enjoyed the Iron Bowl, KU – Mizzou Border War, Texas – Texas A&M, and many more. Read the rest of this entry »
