A Last-Minute Look at the Fresno State Bulldogs
DawgSports (Free subscription) | 06/23/2008 | Sports
It was a good day followed by a wild night in Bulldog Nation, as my efforts to comply with an established superstition with a proven track record of success here at Dawg Sports met with more than a few roadblocks. Tradition now requires that I post a preview of the Diamond Dogs’ next College World Series opponent at a predetermined time on the night before the game, but, at the time I sat down to...

Against Florida in 1981, Herschel Walker carried the ball 31 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns . . . in the second half .

Forgetting Rocket Bob Hayes, LSU shaves time off 100M to claim wide receiver Trindon Holliday as fastest football player ever
Steroid Nation (Free subscription) | 06/12/2008 | US
As pointed out in Brooks for Sports, and in The Nashville City Paper, LSU's football player/sprinter Trindon Holliday will be completing in the NCAA championships this week in Des Moines Iowa's Drake Stadium. LSU either shaved time off Holliday's records or added precious 0.01 seconds on to ex-Florida A and M, and ex-Dallas Cowboy sprinter/NFL great Bob Hayes, to conclude the LSU sprinter is the fastest...

The cynical optimism of Viking fans
Pacifist Viking (Free subscription) | 06/05/2008
