Brother v. Brother: Debating the Ducks' national title hopes, fears, & the Pac-10's most overrated team
Everyone has an arch nemesis. Mine just happens to be my older brother. But our mutual hatred (okay, maybe that's an exaggeration) has led to many an entertaining discussion through the years. And because much of the debate has centered on college sports, and the Ducks in particular (we're both...
Saturday Night Dawg Bites: Todd Grantham, Derek Dooley, and the Remote Possibility That the Georgia Bulldogs May Not be Headed Over a Cliff
As all of you are aware, I had what amounted to a death in the family last week, as a result of which I was effectively incommunicado on Friday (the evening of the visitation) and Saturday (the day of the memorial service). I want to thank MaconDawg for stepping up to the plate in a major way in my...
What Does Pete Carroll's Departure Mean for the Pac-10?
With Pete Carroll's official resignation, the Pac-10 now moves into a new, uncertain era.

One of the greatest...

Let's shift our our attention back to football. Shall we? Cheatey Petey at this point is all but gone. Don't think we have to wait for a press conference at this point to really heat up the discussions on his successor over at South Central. Even if this turns out to be another Urban Meyeresque...
Mike Riley IS NOT the answer for USC
My goal is certainly not to offend Oregon St. fans but Mike Riley is not the answer for USC. This a classic case of watch out what you wish for. That Mike Riley is Mike Garrett's TOP choice should be of concern to all of us. I mean come on is that best that Garrett can do? A guy who isn't even the...
Carroll to Seattle: Now What?
The Latest (3:15PM): Many people are trying to say this is a done deal, while just as many others are saying the process of Carroll accepting an offer to coach the Seattle Seahawks will take longer than everyone thinks. The things that seem to be for certain are that: (1) whether this happens today...
Thanks, Seahawks
By now, you've probably heard the news that the Seattle Seahawks are targeting Pete Carroll for their newly-formed head coaching vacancy. Now we're hearing a deal is just about done, and the news is coming from sources other than Chris Mortensen (like Adam Schefter, a guy I can't seem to figure out...
Steve Dilbeck From Daily News Unfairly Blames Guerrero For The Dorrell Debacle
Steve Dilbeck from the Daily News today tried to push a myth by putting the blame of Karl Dorrell hire on Dan Guerrero: UCLA is a 30-point underdog Saturday at home against USC, and it's only that close because the Bruins have a respectable defense. It might be best to cover the eyes. The...
