1) That Tiger is a buddhist.2) That I am a bad person. As soon as he mentioned being a buddhist, my brain immediately started to try and formulate a Caddyshack-esque joke about Tiger and the Dalai Lama playing golf. "Hey, Lama!"3) It wasn't Elin's fault that Tiger slept with all those women. Um, I don't... Continue Reading →
Why does Skip Bayless hate LeBron James?
I'm posing a general question to the sports blogosphere and social networking communities:Can someone please clue me in to why Skip Bayless seems to have an abiding hatred of LeBron James?From what I have been able to gather, he has relentlessly mocked James's game, called him "Prince" (to belittle LeBron's 'King' moniker) and seems to...

Call me when Tiger wants to talk. For real.
Tomorrow morning, at 8am PST, I'll get into my car to go to work and be subjected to the charade of Tiger Wood's comeback press conference.Scratch that.It won't be a press conference.Because an actual press conference is not given to a small, intimate gathering of friends and colleagues that just so happens to have some...

Big Ten Expansion Round 1: Academics
Since I had so much fun doing it for the Pac-10, let's run the same drill with the Big Ten.Parameters are the same as for the Pac-10. Only thing that's changed are the schools involved. For the Big Ten, while there have been a few names tossed about, let's focus in on the six likeliest... Continue Reading →
Pac-10 Expansion Round 1: Academics
So now that the call has gone out from Pac-10 commish Larry Scott that the Pac-10 will be looking into expansion by two members over the next 12 months or so, I thought it would be fitting to jump on the bandwagon and see who the most likely candidates are.Immediately, because this is football driven,...

A Thought on National Signing Day
I can't be seduced by the coolness.I refuse to get swept away in the hype and the drama.Look, I love college football as much as the next person. Even though I didn't grow up watching the sport, I fell in love with it when I set foot on campus 14 years ago.But this whole National... Continue Reading →
Random thoughts on Lane Kiffin to USC
Every time I think that college football season is over, I find myself getting sucked back in by some major breaking news.At first, it was the news that Pete Carroll was leaving USC (some would say ahead of the NCAA posse) to take the job as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.Okay, fine. It would... Continue Reading →
A Painful Way To End
My heart ached for Texas last night.Not necessarily because I wanted them to win (I did, though. I had them and the over last night in my picks pool), or because I think Nick Saban is a bit of an insufferable human being (I do), but because of the pain that their two quarterbacks went...

BCS Doomsday scenario
So last night's Fiesta Bowl was a solid defensive struggle, and Boise State came out victorious over TCU 17-10.For some folks, the game was an absolute snoozer, although if Texas and Alabama play the exact same game, it is hailed as a great defensive struggle for the ages.I still believe that neither school was really...

New Year’s Resolution and a (slightly) new direction
A new year has dawned.A new decade has arrived.And it's time for a new direction here at Pigskin Punditry.Ostensibly, I started this blog with the best of intentions and the hope that it would be a place where I would rant and rave about college football; the good, the bad and the in between.Well, previously,...
