Ten Big Questions for the College Football Season - Part 2

Is the worst behind Notre Dame? Fans of the Fighting Irish have been surprisingly quiet the past twelve months. Why? Because ND was downright horrible in 2007.

The Not So Dream Team

There's good basketball, like the way the Kansas Jayhawks shared the ball this season on their way to the NCAA Title.

Big Ten Preview

Big Ten football is a lot like American Idol. It may be good, it may be bad, but whatever it is, a lot of people are going to watch and talk about it.

The Real Problem

Remember the 1997 film "Wag the Dog", starring Dustin Hoffman as a Washington, DC public relations executive and Robert De Niro as a Hollywood director? The plot involves a President who needs to cover up a sex scandal to be re-elected, so he calls on Hoffman and De Niro to create a fake war to divert the media focus. Soon [read more...]

Panic Attack

I can't speak for how other baseball teams work, because I have only been a part of one fanbase in my life. But when it comes to real Cubs fans, there are two distinct types: the ones who believe 'This is our year' and the ones who ask 'When is my next nervous breakdown gonna happen?' (Of course there are [read more...]
