As well we know, Mathletics are a major part of any University’s repertoire of activities - without Mathletes, where would national powerhouses like Carnegie Mellon and University of California Riverside be? Nowhere, that’s where! To build a successful program to attract the nations top Mathletes, you need to exhibit not only the facilities but also the following and environment that stimulates the mathlete - not unlike the athlete. However, he or she can be swayed by a school’s tradition and history of success, not merely wins and losses. Part of those winning ways are folded into the tradition - but that’s why it’s important to allow for up and coming Mathletics programs to try their hands at the Great-Grandaddy of Them All - the Mathlete Rose Bowl.

Buckeyes Score Big With Halloween Costumes
November 1, 2007COLUMBUS, OH - Students at the The Ohio State University are still raving over the Halloween costumes worn last weekend by the members of the OSU football team. The Buckeyes wowed the community by imitating great Buckeyes of the past.
Local bartender Eric Cooper was most impressed with the performance of the offense. “The way that [quarterback Todd] Boeckman was throwing the ball was exactly like Art Schlichter. Man, that kid must have had money riding on the Penn State game.” Read the rest of this entry »

News in Brief: Football’s Back!
September 5, 2007College football spans all 50 states (while quality college football is confined to about 14), so there’s a lot to digest, even for those just skimming box scores. This means plenty of stories are out of the eyes of the public. Here’s some of the more interesting from the first week of football, August 30th to September 3rd.

Penn State is getting screwed again
August 27, 2007There’s something rotten in State College, and we’re not talking about Grandpa Joe’s dentures.
They’ve long known in Nittany-ville that the referees are biased against the Nittany Lions. All throughout 2006, Joe Paterno was eying the Alamo Bowl as he does his pile of Betty Page papyri every night. Alas, ’twas not meant to be. The evil Big Ten commissioner’s office, run by the tight knit Ohio State/Michigan cartel, in an act frighteningly akin to rape, brutally forced Penn State to play in Tampa instead.
Paterno exhales following his daily session in the hyperbaric chamber.

H2DN 2007 Preview - Michigan State Spartans
August 23, 2007I will make the comments available to the people if you have thoughts about Hell2DaNaw get ‘em out, but let me start by saying this: There is a 50/50 split with blame for Hell2DaNaw’s outright choke job.
Let me repeat that for you. Choke job. You want to see the definition of choke in the dictionary, you’ll see Hell2DaNaw. From the very top to Shooter McGavin, to the spammers in the comment. It is an out and out choke job.

Jim Delaney to Add 33 New Teams to Big 10.
July 26, 2007In an effort to increase viewing of the Big 10 Network outside of the upper-Midwest, Jim Delaney, president of the Big 10, has announced plans to add 33 schools, bringing the conference total to 44.
“We hope that by adding teams like Florida, Texas, Nebraska, USC, Harvard, and Boise State, that not only will the Big 10 be indisputably the best league, but will also become relevant and must-watch for the entire country,” Delaney said at a press conference today.

H2DN 2007 Preview - Michigan Wolverines
July 20, 2007Michigan is fresh off its traditional end of season treat, back to back losses to Ohio State and USC. It has long been speculated that Lloyd Carr has massive gambling debts and can only repay them by continually losing the last two games of every season. Either that or he’s just a shitty coach, no one is really sure.
The 2006 season looked bright with an 11-0 start including a complete dismantling of Charlie Weis’ Fighting Irish; Michigan fans had hope. It wasn’t long before a matchup of two unbeaten titans, two powerhouses, two great rivals came to pass. Surely this would be the game that put us over the top, that ended the misery, that brought us forward into a new era of dominance! Unfortunately we’d forgotten one thing, one team was coached by Lloyd Carr, and the other by Jim Tressel. Also, Ohio State happened to have this guy named Troy Smith, but I’m doing my best to forget he ever existed. (This should be easy as long as I don’t watch the CFL)
All in all it was a very strong season considering Michigan had been 7-5 the year before, but losing to Ohio State (again) and in a Bowl Game (again) made it a largely forgettable year. Some signs of a bright future did present themselves, an attacking defense that crushed everyone… Except Ohio State. And USC. More talented young players on offense…who were often injured or booted off the team… The emergence of Alan Branch as an unstoppable rampaging monster…who promptly left for the NFL. And the arrival of much talked about 5* recruit Ronald Joh….oh he went to USC. Certainly it was a season of good and bad, delight and soul crushing disappointment, essentially the true Michigan football experience.

H2DN 2007 Previews - Illinois Fighting Illini
July 19, 2007 
Give yourself to the Illini. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for… quarterback. So, you have a running quarterback. Your feelings have now betrayed him, too. Your coach was wise to hide him from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Illini… then perhaps he will…
If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally.

July 18, 2007Big 10 Head Coach 2006 Death Pool Results
Once again, Joe Paterno, the favorite at 7-2 odds, has continued to beat Death at his own game. While Paterno has survived, only 9 other coaches did as well. For those that liked the odds of 12-1 Terry Hoeppner, congratulations! You’ve taken Vegas’ age-old advice of ‘don’t bet against brain cancer’ to the metaphorical bank!
Can the Big 10 keep the 2-year streak of dead coaches, for lack of a better word, alive? What does Jim Delany have against former Miami of Ohio coaches? Does it have to be former head coaches, or will Jim Tressel be next?

H2DN 2007 Previews - Minnesota Golden Gophers
July 17, 20072006-07 was another excellent year in the Golden Gopher’s program. Led by All-American Alex Goligoski, the Gophers used the strength of a 22-game unbeaten streak to take both conference titles, but once again couldn’t break out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. With returning lynchpin Blake Wheeler leading what’s sure to be yet another dominated offense in the Mariucci Arena…
Wait, what are we talking about again?
