From, as always, Awful Announcing: Tonight: The Battle of the Techs, with the lovely Erin Andrews on the sidelines. I might watch, since there’s nothing else sports-related on television, but these two teams are seriously dull. Saturday: Early Games: Wisconsin at Ohio State on the Big Ten Network (noon Eastern). For those of you without [...]

Remember that September 24 issue of Sports Illustrated, the one with the USC-Nebraska cover that says “USC on Fire”? I happened to glance at it today (before tossing it), and I realized something. There are four USC players on the cover: John David Booty, Stafon Johnson, Drew Radovich and Chilo Rachal. What do they have [...]

Let me tell you what college fantasy football has done for me. The Urban Poet is not necessarily a major college football fan. Like any good Trojan, he loves SC, hates UCLA, and talks trash about Notre Dame. Like any wise Trojan, he secretly hopes his future children will prefer UCLA, as the Urban Poet [...]

Hey Urban Poet: Chuck Weis is listed at around 350lbs so I think that is right. Also, the “Dwarf from Shreveport” was left on the sideline all day so that also helped out a lot. Oh and there are no Division-I offensive players playing currently for Notre Dame. So, Ohio State dominated Michigan St for [...]

Each week ESPN.com has 2 CF writers pick the bowl games. Until SC lost to Stanford, they had all picked the Trojans for the title game; now, after the close call against Arizona, Ivan Maisel has SC against OU in the Fiesta Bowl and Mark Schlabach has SC going down I-5 to San Diego to [...]

Again we thank Awful Announcing and their associates for the Week 7 TV/Announcer Listings. Highlights (i.e., how to schedule your TV time): I honestly cannot recommend anything because Fox Sports does such an awful job with college football. I would watch Missouri at OU if it was being called by Ron Franklin on ESPN, but [...]

Once again Awful Announcing takes the time while battling the WWL to give us the announcer listings for week 6. Highlights: College football on ESPN or ESPN2 every night this week as they try and counter-program the MLB playoffs that they no longer carry. The best game of the weeknight slate is Thursday’s #8 Kentucky [...]

Okay, here we go. As soon as you think that you might want to not watch much college football this weekend 7 of the Top 15 lose. #1 USC left all of their crisp play in LA and squeaked by U-Dub by 3. SC looked terrible and I would not be surprised if LSU is [...]
