2007 ACC Preview Part One

March 31, 2007

Hope springs eternal on practice fields across America on the eve of a new off-season. Starting positions will be won and lost; some dreams forged, others shattered; and the Fulmer Cup standings are just beginning to take shape.

And so to completely destroy these fleeting notions of peace on Earth and goodwill towards men, I offer up this team-by-team analysis of the most hilarious, unpossible BCS conference around, the ACC. I’ll be doing this in four installments of three teams each, because let’s be honest, there’s only so much horseshit that even fans of teams in this conference can consume in one sitting.

Carson Butler Fights For His Rights

March 30, 2007

University of Michigan starting tight end Carson Butler was recently kicked off the team, along with teammate and friend Chris Richards. Why? According to the Michigan Daily Butler and Richards attacked a fellow student for ‘no reason.’ Yet the paper goes on to explain that not only had the student asked to borrow an iron, but he had allegedly “talked crap” about Richards in class. I’m no psychologist, but those seem like just the kind of aggressive actions that could cause a finely honed athlete like Mr. Butler to fly into an uncontrollable rage.

Mailbag

March 29, 2007

Dear Hell 2 Da Naw,

I come reporting terrible news. Rice University’s football games are simply out of control. Their fans’ rowdiness, heathenry, and general impiety is so terrifying that I have vowed never to return to their den of sin campus. Now, in my twenty years as a superfan of Big XII powerhouse Baylor, I’ve seen some pretty crazy things, trust me. But nothing could prepare me for the myriad sins of the Owls.

You know that familiar sound that comes from the stadium as you stagger towards it just as the game starts? Those drums you hear as you’re pissing into the trough during halftime?

It’s my birthday!

March 27, 2007

Today is my birthday, and I’ve found that as you get older, you begin thinking about your own mortality. As a child, you don’t seem to recognize your own impending death, but as you get older and things start going wrong with your body, you seem to realize it a little bit more every day. We’re no spring chickens.

Thus, if this topic is weighing heavily on my mind at the tender age of 28, then I believe we have our excuse for the recent shoddy performance of the Florida State Seminoles. Read the rest of this entry »
