No. 3 LSU at No. 25 Mississippi State Analysts will refer to the fact that is one of only two games between match ups between ranked teams. The response to that is that rankings are meaningless until October. LSU’s quarterback Jarrett Lee. Jordan Jefferson was supposed to be the Senior QB, but he was arrested […]
Training Camp: Playing Offensive and Defensive Lineman
September 13, 2011 by
Linemen. What are they doing? It looks like they run at each other and just start pushing. But the fact is that the play of the linemen can determine the success of the team. I learned more about this at Columbia’s football camp and from watching game film with the Source. To get an idea […]
September 11, 2001 Remembered
September 12, 2011 by
I’ve actually found it quite difficult to write about football today (hence this post). As I walked out in NYC and saw the Tribute in Light, it reminded me of being here on this day 10 years ago. And while everyone has their own personal memories, for those of us in New York City, I’m […]
Sound Smart: Week 2 Thursday Night Football
September 8, 2011 by
Arizona at Oklahoma State. Tonight is the kick-off of the NFL’s season with 2009 Super Bowl Champion the New Orleans Saints facing the 2010 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers.

Chika’s Guide to Football…a place to start for beginners
September 6, 2011 by
While watching football all day at Blondies in NYC on Saturday, I met a great group of Northwestern fans, which included a girl named Chika. Chika was dressed up as a perfect football fan in her Wildcat purple, but when initially invited out to watch “the game” on the first Saturday in September, she asked, […]
What We Learned in Week 1
September 6, 2011 by
What we learned from Week 1 in some of the close and/or high quality match ups #3 Oregon vs #4 LSU. LSU wins 40-27. If you’re a college football girl reader then you aren’t at all surprised that Oregon lost to LSU. In fact, you expected it. Why? 1) Their offensive line. Last year they […]

2010 Statistics (Big Ten) The Wildcats play on a grass field at Ryan Field Stadium (seats 47,130) Pat Fitzgerald is in his 6th year as head coach at Northwestern. Last year his team had a 7-6 record, which is a slight dip from how they performed the previous two season (9 wins in 2008, 8 […]
What to Watch for Tonight: Thursday 9/01/2011
September 1, 2011 by
Thursday What to Watch: Honestly, not much. Unless your team is playing and then you want to get a look at them. UNLV v. Wisconsin. It will be interesting to see how new quarterback Russell Wilson does in his new offense. As a reminder, Wilson was forced to choose between baseball and football and NC […]
SIX DEGREES OF COACHING CHANGES FOR 2011
September 1, 2011 by
A few years ago I created a flow-chart called “Six Degrees of Paris Hilton”, through which I linked over 60 people together based on sexual escapades with Hilton at the center (although I must also give major credit to Tara Reid as well, who’s link to Hilton through former Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis proved invaluable). […]
Angelique’s Mathematical Guide to Football Strategy: The CFB Rule of 4
August 31, 2011 by
Although Angelique thinks of football as just a bunch of guys running around in tights with a strange shaped ball, this guide will help her understand football better by teaching her something about the numbers (another thing she isn’t too fond of). Whole Yards, never partial. In football, we determine the position on the field […]
