Sports Shorts (11/30/09)

Spanning the....OK, sorry....


Scaling the heights and plumbing the depths of suck? (Just asking)


Kubiak must Go! (Uh...yeah...what he said) (All of those 10-6 & 11-5 predictions by what pass for sports media experts in Houston are really starting to look stupid now aren't they?)


Was this article written by Justice? Or Cougar beat-writer Steve Campbell? Early on ChronBlog had Campbell listed as the author.


Look, Vince Young is proving to be an decent NFL quarterback (admittedly, a surprise to me). He's also the beneficiary of one hell of a running game, something he wouldn't enjoy were he drafted by the Texans. So let's stop with the VY man love OK? It's one thing to be a UT-Austin homer, it's another thing to let it cloud your judgement as a writer. Case in point.


Hey...this Tiger Woods news story might have some legs.


Dear ACC: You suck. Signed the SEC


Goodbye Charlie.


Goodbye Bobby


Goodbye Mark


Goodbye Al


(UH fans are now holding their collective breath that none of the schools mentioned (well, KU and Virginia, not Notre Dame and Florida St obviously) take a serious look at Sumlin)


Convince me that TCU isn't one of the top two teams in the Country. I'm listening.

For that matter, convince me that the Heisman Trophy has any relevance to reality. "Most outstanding player in College Football"? Colt McCoy? S.H.A.M.

While you're at it: Make an argument that Cincinnati is not one of the top two teams in the Country, and that Mardy Gilyard shouldn't be a top 5 Heisman contender (if not the outright winner).


If you have a terrible officiating structure, you're going to get terrible results. FIFA is probably the worst International sports body in existence.
