The Joke’s on Voters if Oklahoma Sooners Quarterback Sam Bradford Doesn’t Win Heisman
December 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Thankfully, Al Franken will have nothing to do with counting Heisman Trophy ballots. If, however, record-setting Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford isn’t named the winner of college football’s Heisman Trophy Dec. 13 in New York City, the joke is likely to be on voters. In Saturday night’s Big 12 Championship at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas [...]

It’s Time for John McCain to Wage 4th-Quarter Rally
October 13th, 2008 · 3 Comments
As a college football fan and political junkie, I see similarities in the seemingly-disparate activities which lead me to believe John McCain can succeed by waging a fourth-quarter comeback over Barack Obama. Twice this year, college gridiron fans have seen three or more Top 10 teams fall during a single weekend to squads that were [...]
