San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers endorsed Rick Santorum for president last week, specifically citing the former Pennsylvania Senator’s fight against same-sex marriage. Rivers made the announcement before the Republican primary in his home state of Alabama. Said Rivers, in a statement from Santorum’s campaign: I am supporting Rick Santorum for President because of his stance on [...]

ESPN shows a little Crimson Tide nudity during Alabama postgame interview
The inadvertent locker room penis shot during a TV interview is an Internet staple and the latest comes via ESPN, which on its YouTube channel has an interview with Alabama wide receiver Kevin Norwood. It was filmed after the Tide beat LSU in the BCS title game. Alert reader David points out the brief nudity [...]
The Alabama homo “homeaux” T-shirt controversy
Unicorn Booty picked up on a site that marketed this T-shirt. It was created to sell after Alabama beat up on LSU tonight in some bowl game or something in New Orleans (the score would be printed at the end of the game and distributed in the hours afterward). “Homeaux” is supposed to be a [...]
Oh, I forgot — LSU is playing Alabama in some college football game
The college football season reaches its anti-climatic climax Monday night when LSU plays Alabama in the BCS title game. I won’t call it the “national championship game” because that would give it more weight than it deserves. It’s basically the SEC championship game a month later. Major college football has the lamest and most absurd [...]
LSU-Alabama? One more reason to blow up the BCS
Major college football is the most unsatisfying of our sports, the only one where computers and voters determine who gets to play for the “national title.” This is how Nos. 2 and 3 finished in the BCS rankings this year: Alabama, 9419, Oklahoma State .9333, the closest ever between two and three. And thus, because [...]
LSU beats Alabama 9-6 in a snoozefest, not the “Game of the Century”
The only good thing about LSU’s dull 9-6 overtime win over Alabama in a game the media hyperventilated about all week is that we won’t see a rematch in the BCS title game. At least we better not. College football fans don’t deserve to be put to sleep again. I can appreciate a great defensive [...]
Alabama tops AP preseason football poll
No surprise, but defending BCS champ Alabama is the overwhelming favorite to repeat as No. 1 in college football, if the preseason AP poll is accurate. The Tide garnered 54 of the 59 first-place votes. Rounding out the Top 5 are Ohio State, Boise State, Florida and Texas. It’s Boise State at No. 3 (the [...]
Alabama beats Texas in pedestrian BCS game
Alabama beat Texas, 37-21, to win the BCS title game in the Rose Bowl, in a game that was pretty much over when Longhorn QB Colt McCoy hurt his shoulder on his fifth snap and never returned. ‘Bama won the game and their fans can celebrate, but the Tide was less than impressive. It came [...]
Who will win the Texas-Alabama game?
Unlike Cyd (see post below), I will watch the BCS title game between Alabama and Texas. Not because I think the winner is the college football national champion (no one ever is with this flawed system), but because it’s a game pitting two unbeatens with a lot of national attention. I’m one who watches most [...]
Quick hits: Vick, Alabama, Bolt, Limbaugh
Michael Vick is a free man: Falcons cut all ties with the convicted felon. Alabama receives huge athletics sanctions from the NCAA. I wonder how many Div. I programs have been punished in the last five years and if it’s even worth it to have standards anymore. Bolt’s spikes are still golden. Rush Limbaugh could [...]
Dirty Dozen: Bama on fire
It was a hot and cold week for the Dirty Dozen with upsets galore. Top-ranked USC went cold at Oregon State, continuing its trend of losing at least one game a season when it’s heavily favored. Georgia went cold at home, then turned hot against Alabama in the second half, only to fall in the [...]
Dirty Dozen: Three new teams move in
It was another of those “college football four nights in a row” type of weekends, with games Wednesday through Saturday. Things got off to a rousing start Thursday night as unbeaten Colorado shocked West Virginia, 17-14, thanks to a 25-yard field goal from Aric Goodman (pictured at right) in overtime. Things got even better for Goodman after [...]
