June Jones/Colt Brennan Leave Hawaii For Greener Pastures, Readers Still Hate Kaplan572

Well Warrior fans, your two most notable residents will be leaving you soon.  Your boy Colt Brennan left his heart, and many brain cells on the field in Louisiana after getting throttled by Georgia.  Now your undisputed leader is leaving to go coach a dead program in Dallas.  By the way, SMU plays in Conference USA a mid level conference with no major bowl tie-ins.  Jones left the WAC, a better conference which has made a name for itself the past two years.

Even though I assume your administrative officials performed a “haka” in front of Jones to keep him from leaving, it was not enough.  You see Hawaii fans, you had a magical season now it is over.  Your temperate climate was not enough to keep your coach.  Perhaps the combination of your expensive goods, crappy pay and aging facilities forced your leader out.  If you want to play with the big boys, you need to “pony” up the dough…exactly what SMU did. 

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.

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.

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.

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

If 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?

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.
