NFL Predictions

in Pigskin

For what they’re worth, my predictions: 1. Even though I’d like to see the Steelers prevail, I suspect the Broncos will maximize their home field advantage and take the AFC Championship in a close one – 30 – 27. 2. The Panthers have to the NFC Championship before, but the Seahawks are a buzzsaw this [...]

Hook ‘Em, Trojans!

Poor little thing. Apparently this USC Cheerleader got confused during the Rose Bowl and celebrated when Texas punched it in. From Wizard of Odds via Deadspin. (I don’t know if this is authentic but it sure looks like it.)

Say it ain’t T.O.!

In what seems like a recipe for team-discipline disaster, the Bucs are reportedly interested in signing Terrell Owens. That’s like taking arsenic to cure a headache. By the time the headache stops, you’ve got much bigger problems to deal with.

Go Bucs!

I’m rooting for the Bucs today, of course. Let me also share Gary Shelton’s pick for the best Buc ever. Here’s a hint – he’s a former Seminole.

At Least It Was a Good Game

by Mike on 1/4/2006

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

Both teams had so many chances to win this game and blew them all… we basically lost this one on a missed PAT in the first half. That safety call was pretty much a crock, too. But you get two coaches together like this, you know you;’re going to end up with a good game. [...]

Orange Bowl

A guy in a hospital, coming out of the newborn ward and wearing a hospital-issue plasic bracelet, holds the elevator door to make your life easier and you trash his team?

Louisiana Devastation

by Mike on 1/1/2006

in Pigskin, Possibly Abrasive

I missed watching this game for obvious reasons the other day, but allow me to utter a quiet “Geaux Tigers!” in honor of LSU’s thrashing of the Miami Hurricanes in the Peach Bowl. Many of you, I’m sure, had to endure the sportscasters making witty comments about Louisiana’s hurricane revenge and other such nonsense. It [...]

ACC Championship, Scene VI

by Mike on 12/4/2005

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

I was really afraid coming into this game. We were coming off a three-loss roll, and Tech had one of the strongest defenses in the country. I needn’t have worried. Somehow, the offense put together a complete game and the defense held firm. I had forgotten that Frank Beamer’s Hokies haven’t beaten the Seminoles in [...]

ACC Championship, Scene V

by Mike on 12/3/2005

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

Where was this team last week? 27 – 3, and the Noles have clearly unlocked the Hokies’ defense. Play-calling and execution on offense have been excellent, and our defense has held. It’s looking good!
