“I’m a senile old man. Don’t know what I’m saying or what I’m doing. It don’t matter much none anywhoo, because Sports Illustrated pays me just the same. That’s they way we does things in the sports journalism game.
“See here my NFL Power Rankings for this week. Patriots! Colts! A mess of them other teams, […]

Not tough enough? Whatever, old man. We’ll see what kind of song you’re singing next week after the Packers get win number five over the Redskins.

If you look at the standings of the Big 10 and the NFL, you’ll see that both the Wisconsin Badgers football team and the Green Bay Packers are undefeated and at the top of their respective leagues. Looking at the polls and power rankings, though, you’d think both were having just mediocre seasons so far.
The […]

There was not a lot of love and respect for the Wisconsin Badgers from the pollsters this week. Despite overcoming some first half challenges and beating The Citadel by two touchdowns, UW fell to #9 in the AP poll and remained at #7 in the coaches poll. To echo the sentiments of a commenter on […]

The first AP poll, which has USC #1 of course, agreed that UW is seventh best […]

The 2007 USA TODAY coaches pre-season poll came out today, so I guess that means college football is really underway now. Low and behold the Wisconsin Badgers got a little love from the pollsters and placed seventh in the rankings, behind Michigan but ahead of Ohio State. Bring on the haters and the non-believers […]

Way to go, Ohio State. So, should we have that debate again about why it should have been Michigan vs. Buckeyes for the mythical national championship? Looks like they should have been playing for bragging rights in the Choke Bowl.
I not really sure what to make of the meltdown tonight in Glendale, though congrats are […]

The final BCS rankings came out last night and it seems that someone got robbed. Or not. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
Say what you will about Florida’s merit as the No. 2 team in the country and the BCS as the right system for determining that fact, but the system […]

Do you suppose Will Ferrell crapped his pants when Eric McNeal intercepted John David “Big” Booty’s pass, sealing UCLA’s 13-9 upset win over USC today? If anyone has video of that, please upload it to YouTube immediately.
So now that the Trojans have been eliminated from the mythical national championship picture, the debate has really started […]
