College Football Week 5 Preview
September 30th, 2010I saw a T-shirt this morning that advertised the following message: "Stuck Fanford". I wasn't so much mad as I was impressed. Just like the time Ron Burgundy's Border terrier ate a whole wheel of cheese. It's just plain difficult to begrudge such brilliant innovation.
The Stuck Fanford shirt belongs to a long line of clever, barely appropriate fanwear. There is also a rich history behind barely clever, overtly inappropriate sports apparel. Fortunately, when USC fans sport "Fucla" logos when the Bruins are in town, or when Stanford students don "I have one more testicle than Cal.

Or any other sport scored on a 100 pt scale. All in favor of Coach K Greco-roman wrestling Mark Ingram to settle whose Athletic Program is more dominant, say aye.

College Football Week 3 Preview
September 16th, 2010With the NFL now underway, it's as safe as ever for football fans to celebrate the end of what's unofficially referred to as "double play highlight after double play highlight after double play highlight" season.

September 10th, 2010The Teams and Players We'll Be Watching in 2010
(These are listed in the order they popped into our heads)
NFC West
With players like Davis, Gore, Crabtree and Willis; with a young, hungry O line that looks big and ornery even from the upper decks; with a coach like Mike Singletary who looks like he could glare a hole through the opposing quarterback's helmet - what is the question with the 49ers?
