Palmer Now Loves OSU
As I wrote earlier this week, I loved Carson Palmer's frankness and honesty when asked about Ohio State and the Buckeye fans when he appeared on 570 KCAL last week. While you may disagree with his statement, at least he was being honest. Predictably, Palmer has now backtracked from his statement and ... 22Jul2008 | Joey | 0 comments | Continued

USC’s Starting Offensive Line for 2008, A Tough Bunch!

Like an Intelligent Person, Carson Palmer Hates Ohio State

However, when he does decide to speak, he appears to come across as a very intelligent individual and mastermind of the the egotistical nature of college football fans. This ... 20Jul2008 | Joey | 1 comment | Continued

UCLA Saftey Suspended for Opener
With just nine returning starters, it's fairly likely that UCLA's inexperience will might be tough to overcome in non-conference showdowns against SEC powerhouse Tennessee and highly ranked BYU. In fact, considering their inexperience, it's fairly likely that the Bruins could start the season 0-4 and not even become bowl eligible in 2008. To make ... 17Jul2008 | Joey | 0 comments | Continued

Did you really just suggest that the Doyers would go further in the playoffs than the Angels?
