College football notes

Ryan Perrilloux had a good reason for getting suspended (or at least that’s what LSU is telling us). Nevertheless, he will back on the practice field Monday.

I got one right

Looks like it’s the Buckeyes.

2007 Post Mortem: College Football and USC

December 1, 2007 has come and gone, which means that this wild and crazy season is over. No one was great, everyone claimed to be good, and we are left with a system that is designed to give us a 1 vs. 2 game—based on the opinions of 167 people who don’t watch every game [...]
