Home of the A10 Bounce“Because there is always room for one more on the bench.”
and MAAC Press Break“No matter what sport you like these guys got it covered. ”
Just finished my list for Santa … getting ready to text it to him. Here are the sports related things I want for Christmas … deliverable either Christmas morning or as appropriate in the New Year:
But because the vast majority of these games are essentially meaningless, we’re going to give them “meaning”. Gosh darn it, they’re gonna count! How’s that, you say? It’s easy. All you have to do is participate in the PPP … that’s the PEERLESS PROGNOSTICATORS POOL !!!
As far as college football is concerned, this will be a pretty casual weekend indeed. In Div 1A, only the annual and very bitter Army-Navy rivalry is there to stir our imaginations.
So we’re on the cusp of cementing the teams that will be included in the CFB Div 1 playoffs … that is, the ONE game playoff with a few other glorified exhibition games preceding it in a rather annoying and unsatisfying two week period. This of course is also known as the crappy BCS system.

As the signature red marquee sign outside of Wrigley Field is painted purple in [...]
They way things are going, it won’t be long before Cam Newton is named as a co-conspirator in the JFK assassination. Chances are that he wasn’t stationed in the book depository though, given his reputation for not doing his own studying …
As we head into the weekend, it’s time to look at what Saturday’s CFB menu offers.
