High & Low Lights from the ’07 Bowl Season that was……..

Trojan Power: John David Booty (JDB as I like to call him) made the Illinois D look like Swiss Cheese as he and the USC Offense played pitch and catch all day. The totals for USC are pretty staggering as the raked up 633 total yards of the Big O. Again, we end another year with the question..Is USC the best team in the country? Kegs a flowing: Cheers to New Mexico State U as they ended a 46 year bowl drought by beating Nevada in a shutout. Nevada was last shut out almost 30 years ago. Go Home: Bowling Green U which lost in the GMAC Bowl followed a horrible trend by MAC teams as the three teams that were represented each lost by 51, 52, and 63 points and finished 0-3. Better luck next year. Looking forward to the 2008 Season..It’s just never too early. USC looks again to keep on track as Mark Sanchez will take over for the departing JDB @ QB….The Georgia Bulldogs finished the season as strong as any one is the land and looked impressive in doing so as they beat up on QB Colt Brenn...

Happy Holidays from Hook-n-Ladder

Thank you!

We all should have known what was to come later on in the year when ASU went into the Big House and handed Big Blue a loss that will not soon be forgotten on the first day on the season. While this most memorable season as already come and gone you still continue to hear critics wanting a playoff system implemented now. I just do not get it. It seemed to me that almost every single Saturday this year was a playoff. It sure felt like it with stunning upsets and overtime thrillers becoming almost a given on any given Saturday. What a year.....

List of defunct Division I football teams

NCAA Football Playoff System? I think not!

the college playoff push...please! If anyone was fortunate enough to watch the LSU vs. Florida Gators game this past Saturday night, you would have found many, pretty straight forward, answer's as to why we do not need a playoff system implemented. I ask you what would be the mindset of a coach like Les Miles who knows that a system is in place to essentially almost reward a team for not taking that extra chance. Does he have his team go for it and fourth down ?..5 times in a row nonetheless? Right now each and every game played is essentially a playoff game as one loss at any point in the season could derail all hopes of a BCS birth. Save the playoffs for March...

List of 100 point games in NCAA college football

100 point games by one team in NCAA college football history are rare. This list provided is of current Division I-A football teams, but most of the losing teams are defunct. This list was garnered from the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia . Only Arizona , Georgia Tech , Oklahoma , and Tulsa have eclipsed 150-points in at least one game. Georgia Tech is the only team to ever record over 200 points in one game, occurring in 1916 against Cumberland . Yikes!! University of Alabama vs. Marion Military Institute Score: 111-0 Year: 1922 University of Arizona vs. New Mexico Military Institute Score: 110-0 Year: 1921 and....vs. Camp Harry Hones Score: 167-0 Year: 1922 University of Arkansas vs. Southwest Missouri State Score: 105-0 Year: 1911 University of California, Berkeley vs. St. Mary's (CA) Score: 127-0 Year: 1920 University of Cincinnati vs. Kentucky Wesleyan Score: 115-0 Year: 1921 University of Colorado vs. Regis University Score: 109-0 Year: 1905 University of F...

Sex romp during WISCO Game costs couple season tickets.....

While the Wisconsin Badgers football team was busy scoring on Washington State earlier this year, a young couple was busy scoring in the bathroom at Camp Randall Stadium . According to UW Police Officer Gerard Pehler, he was assisting a fan who had fallen due to heat exhaustion when a bystander approached and asked him, "Can you do anything about two having sex in the women's restroom stall?" "They're going at it pretty good," added the fan. Not only are the pair facing up to 90 days in jail and up to $1,000 fine for a disorderly conduct rap, but they may lose their Badger season tickets, as well. Because the UW has a policy in place to revoke season tickets of people who cause disturbances, the officer asked couple to produce their tickets and the man was able to find his -- the seats were in section KK -- but the woman couldn't find hers, what with her pants being inside out.
