When asked about the possibility of a rematch between top-ranked SEC champion LSU and one-loss SEC conference mate Alabama, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said, “Absolutely, if they’re 1 and 2, and they are in all the polls released today.”  Oklahoma State may have destroyed Oklahoma to win the Big 12 championship, but it wasn’t enough to impress the coaches or the computers, as the BCS formula has chosen to make a rematch between the 12-0 LSU Tigers and 11-1 Alabama Crimson Tide the BCS National Championship Game for this year.

Earlier this season, LSU edged Alabama 9-6 in one of the best games of the year; now they’re doing it again with hardware on the line.  Cue the tears from Big 12 fans.  Honestly, they don’t have an argument; Alabama’s only loss was to the best team in the nation, not a 6-6 Iowa State Cyclones.  Yes, OK State one their conference, but it was a down year for both Texas and Ohio State, and outside of those teams there’s not much to write home about in the Big 12 anymore.

As for the other bowl games, the complete 2011-12 college football bowl schedule has been released.  This year is the first year in recent memory not to feature a non-BCS team in a BCS bowl game, with the other major bowls being filled out by traditional powers:  Michigan vs. Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl; Clemson vs. West Virginia in the Orange Bowl; Oregon vs. Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl; and Oklahoma State versus Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
