Long hiatus

Perhaps you noticed that we haven’t posted in a while. It would be nice if we had a good explanation for that, but frankly we don’t. Things just got busy. Anyway, now we’re back, for better or worse.

CBS Sports college fantasy football

Same lame idea as everyone else. [UPDATE: Apparently this move by CBS Sports has ruffled quite a few feathers at the NCAA. Our question is this: Why risk a lawsuit when you could be playing a superior game to begin with? —gpen]

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 [...]
