They both got into USC
I think we’ve made it abundantly clear how we feel about USC here at Making It Rain.
But especially after they were knocked off of their ivory dildo pedestal in the largest point spread upset in the history of Division 1 football by the Mighty Mensans of Leland Stanford Junior University, I [...]

Contrary to popular belief, the hottest thing to come out of the University of Florida in the last few years is not ESPN’s Erin Andrews.

As smokin’ as this ex-Florida Dazzler dancer is, the spread option offense is hotter.
Consider this:  Through the first three games this season, on first down, Florida is averaging over 12 yards [...]

Michigan-38 Notre Dame-0
Thirty-eight to nuttin’. Five td’s and a field goal to zoo.
From a historical perspective, that’d be XXXVIII to . For you uneducated Philistines out there, that’s the Mayan symbol for zero, a concept they invented. But before we get all excited about how brilliant the Mayan society was [...]

Four, count `em, four!, SEC teams lost at home this past weekend.  And only one of them was Vanderbilt.
The University of Miss-Again and the Serial Papists of South Bend are now 0-4, losing by a combined score [...]

Where I (sometimes) work is an ad agency, the President of which is a Michigan grad. The lowest man on the totem pole around here, the newest hire, is fresh out of Appy State. In fact, he was at that glorious game in the Big House last weekend. The President has been reminded several times [...]

The only relevant question concerning last night’s Clemson/Florida State game is:
Will Bobby Bowden gracefully retire at the end of this season or will he be forced out in disgrace?
I’m hoping for disgrace.
I’m also hoping to visit Tallahassee very soon.

When you’re talking about the difficult prospects a team has ahead due to an early season loss (Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee) or the rigorous schedule looming over their season (the SEC,) don’t say, “They’ve got a tough road to hoe.”
It’s a “row,” dumbass, not a road!  You don’t hoe roads.  You hoe rows, as in, [...]

The NCAA moved the kick-off line back five yards to the 30 yard line this year. That 15 feet is gonna be a big deal. Just you wait until Florida starts every drive from the 40.
When I say nobody’s talking about it, I’m exaggerating slightly. Somebody’s talking about it.
Nobody understood this danger better [...]

It seems USC is the consensus #1 pick in just about every preseason football poll.  Well, every poll except the Knoxville Fulmer Sentinel, which will continue to pick UT number one until long after every conceivable permutation of  league championship games and potential plane crashes have eliminated any possibility of  the Little Orange even finishing [...]

Making it Rain: I know it was before you were hired, but Alabama has had nearly a decade of problems with the football program. Do you think that will add any extra challenges to the job you face this year?
Nick Saban: No.
MIR: All those years of probation, the limited scholarships, recruiting challenges. None of that [...]

All-World Mississippi High School Player of the Century* Chris Strong has finally snuck past the NCAA academic clearinghouse to become eligible to play for Ole Miss.
Which is a very good thing, since head coach Ed “Mumbles” Orgeron has had him on top of the depth chart at linebacker for two years now.
Although Strong has been [...]

USC Again

Back when I was a sports writer and editor, about ten years ago, we got a press release from USC requesting that they be referred to from that day forward as “Southern Cal” and only as “Southern Cal.” I guess four people from the low country confused them with the other USC, South Carolina.
