Light Shopping

My father has a lamp on his desk that he uses every morning when he is up early researching stocks or paying bills. However, the lamp he has went out last week, so I started searching for him a new lamp. I wanted to get him something that could display his love for the Atlanta Braves or Falcons, but still looked somewhat professional.

Who’s your ‘1st Round Workhorse’? Our Candidates…

Last season after each round of the NCAA men’s basketball national tournament, we compiled the candidates for the ‘Workhorse’ of the round (our version of Most Outstanding Player) and then let your votes decide who should be given the award. We culminated the ‘Workhorse candidates’ series by naming Mario Chalmers the NCAA ‘Championship Workhorse’ and you voted the tourney darling, Stephen Curry, as the NCAA ‘Tournament Workhorse.’

And we’re bringing it back!

Carroll Thinks Sanchez Wrong to Leave

If anyone saw yesterday’s press conference where Mark Sanchez announced he will forgo his senior season at USC and enter the NFL draft, one had to be alarmed. Not necessarily with the decision, but alarmed by the way USC coach Pete Carroll handled the decision.

Big 12 South Arrested & Charged with Fraud

All we heard about this college football season was the gunslingers from the West and the high-powered, high-oiled Big 12 South offensive machines. Choke-lahoma regularly scoring 40 in the first half, the resurgence of Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and the “Air Raid”, Texas and Colt McCoy putting up massive numbers.

Every Saturday night (it seemed), we had to watch each installment of the Big 12 South showdowns. Brent Musberger roaring about the offensive proficiency and how good these teams seemed to be. This season was the Big 12’s moment. This was their time to shine….

Until the bowl season came upon us.

C’mon ESPN, Use Some Sense

Throughout this year’s college football bowl season, I have enjoyed being off work, spending time with friends and family, and watching plenty of bowl games on the ESPN family of networks.

The TCU-Boise game was a great display of competition, as well as the highlight reel catches in the North Carolina and West “By God” Virginia game. However, there is one thing that continually disturbs me through these early bowl games.

We received ballots from as far south as Florida, as far west as California and Oregon, and as far north as the great white north of Canada. Thirteen different players and one unit received votes while another 12 players and one unit were noted as honorable mentions.

Without further ado…

The Blue Workhorse Week 14 College Football Top 25

Oklahoma won impressively yet again, and it was just enough to bump them past Texas and into the Big XII championship game. With a win, they appear to be destined for the national championship against the winner of the SEC championship game. Too bad Texas can’t replace Missouri in the championship game. Now that would make for an entertaining championship weekend.

Another week means another re-evaluation, and thus, we give you our new The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25 after Week 13. Some things to note from this week’s rankings:
