Auburn: This year's BCS odd team out

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: November 26, 2004 · Comments (1)

Here we go again: Three undefeated major conference teams and only two tickets to the Orange Bowl. Yet this year we aren't hearing the "sky is falling!" cries.

What KC Should Do Next

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: November 16, 2004

This season is a wash. They need to start preparing for next season now. Nah, I'm not saying they should blow games to get a higher draft pick or anything. But what should the priority be? What would the point be of winning 6 or 7 games this season? There's... [Full Story]

I notice that as other teams have played in a disappointing fashion, their fan-writers have stopped showing up to acknowledge their predictions were off. I'll keep coming back and posting at some point in the week. There's always something to talk about, even if it's just Gonzales' season or how... [Full Story]

"No Significant Addition"
