Earlier this week I wrestled with a handful of social-media purists who could not/would not acknowledge my arguments on ghostwriting and blogging. If you missed it, just scroll down one post. Nothing I said or will ever say on this issue can change their minds. They’ve covered their ears, as w...

I went to school at the University of Michigan, where there are some pretty die-hard sports fans (Go Blue!). That’s why I know all too well about the commitment our biggest rivals over at Ohio State have as sports fans. And one of their traditions, the Hineysgate, is being threatened, reports ...

(Before you ask: We will never tire of this photo. Ever. We pray to Football Jesus (there’s a separate one for football) every night that Zibby goes into coaching so we can post it once a week.) Moving on: The combine, like childbirth, is a natural process, a rite of passage, and not at all cr...

You’re damn right Woody Hayes did interviews in the nude. All great men at one point work in the nude in a non-sexual manner. Orde Wingate, mad chief of the Chindits in Burma in WW2, used to conduct meetings in the buff while cleaning himself with a brush. (Mike Bellotti does the same thing, b...

In the fun-for-everyone game of Cranium, the final round is decided by on...

Here it is again: the worst day of the year. No more college football. 239 days until USC kicks off against San Jose State. So what are you going to do with all that free time? Suggestions...buy a puzzle. A very, very big puzzle. Maybe go on a nature hike, and make a collage with the twigs and leave...

Gerade den Fiesta Bowl aus der Konserve genossen. Einige unsortierte Gedanken zum 24:21-Sieg von Texas per Touchdown knapp 20 Sekunden vor Schluß: Obwohl es anständige Offense-Statistiken für die erste Halbzeit gab, spiegelte der Halbzeitstand von 3:6 wesentlich besser die Zähigkeit wieder, die ...

Over the years, I’ve turned more and more into an NFL fan over a college fan. It’s just how I am. The bowl games, to be completely honest, don’t mean that much to me (outside of the ones that Georgia Tech and Tennessee are participants in; and in this year’s case, given UT su...

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Peering into the Pac-10 crystal ball for 2009. 1.
