Flash Forward to the End of the Big 10 Honeymoon...
Everything may be rosy now, but let's face facts, Husker fan: come October, the games are going to start. And as soon as those gates open, somebody is gonna rub somebody else the wrong way. A player's gonna make the wrong gesture, a coach will whine over a bad call, the wrong insult will fly across...
Summation: Purdue in the Aughts
This continues our series recapping the last ten seasons in the Big Ten. I. Overview It's easy to glance at Purdue's 2000 Rose Bowl appearance -- the Boilermaker's first in 34 years -- and surmise that it was all downhill from there in the aughts. But neatly interwoven into the fabric of the...
Super Sunday Open Thread
Light hockey schedule today, with the Super Bowl being played tonight. Penguins at Capitals at 12 PM on NBC Penguins finally made it into D.C. at 2 AM this morning, due to the blizzard. Should be interesting to see what kind of legs the Pens have on about 5 hours sleep. For the latest on the Pens,...

Top 10 SEC-Big Ten Games of the Last Decade: #7 -- Georgia v Purdue, 2000 Outback Bowl
There are two kinds of great games. One is the kind you see coming, an epic matchup between titanic powers with great athletes, a national championship game or a game with title implications pitting evenly matched competitors against each other. That's Southern Cal vs. Texas in the 2005 Rose Bowl,...
An April Discussion Of The NFC South Landscape
via www.sportable.com Some would say it's way too early to look at how the NFC South may shake out this season. Some would also say it's too early to start drinking, but my good friend Jack Daniels and I would respectfully disagree. So there. Rather than do a comprehensive breakdown, though,...
News On The Wing: February 17 Edition
News is power! With that in mind, I'm turning on my news-producing machine and cranking out this week's News on the Wing. As with our first post just last week, we'll try to hit a little bit of Falcons news, a little bit of NFC South news and perhaps a little general NFL news if we have...
Falcons and Saints Recap: Losing Ain't Easy
There's a phenomenon preculiar to the frozen north that I think is particularly relevant here. Here in New England, the first day of snowfall is an auspicious occasion. People like me smile and enjoy the snow, while people not like me totally friggin' forget how to drive. The mere sight of a...
Falcons vs. Saints: Cheers For An August Autumn
The Falcons have triumphed. At every turn, the Falcons have met a new obstacle. They've been asked to win more than they did last year, and they have. They've been asked to beat a quality team, and instead they beat two. They've been asked to beat a division rival, and they smoked them. They have...
The Saints Will Hurt Against Falcons Without Reggie Bush
The Falcons are going to have a tough time against the Saints this weekend. I don't wish to alarm you, but they have a few guys over there who are very good at playing "offense." They might even "score" a few "touchdowns" on us. "Oh no." Still, it's heartening to hear that Reggie Bush won't be at...
