The Ohio State Buckeye head football coach became the first FBS coach to ever grant an interview to a member of the GLBT press. Kudos to Tressel, who’s labeled a conservative, both on and off the field, for being open minded enough to give a shout out to us gays!

For obvious reasons one of my favorite things to fantasize about is the weigh-in at the NFL’s annual combine in February. Hot, young, muscled, college-football jocks stripping down to their sponsored underwear and stepping on the scale, while bi-curious NFL scouts and coaches snap photos; soon to be hidden in some obscure file on their personal laptop, viewed only when the ‘no-balls-and-chain’ is asleep.

Isn’t America great? As far as spring rituals go, the NFL combine’s weigh-in is right up there with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. Yet with the NFL combine just weeks away those horned up guys at the NFL offices couldn’t wait, so they scheduled a preliminary pageant at the Senior Bowl in Mobile on Monday.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining at all. I just find it somewhat odd that these ’straight’ old dudes need/want to see these guys in their underwear twice within six weeks. Really?!? How much is gonna change in sex, er I mean six week?

No wonder we haven’t had an NFL coach or scout come out of the closet, they have all this free soft porn. And just like in any real-life group sex scene, as soon as the hotties get down to underwear there’s always the creepy, Jeff Foxworthy dude trying to get in on the action.

During his introductory press conference at USC, Lane Kiffin said that Tennessee is one of the top ten coaching gigs in the country, but apparently Duke head coach and two-time former Tennessee Vol assistant David Cutcliffe doesn’t agree with the chosen one.

Cutcliffe announced today that he will remain at Duke. With Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and Air Force coach Troy Calhoun also removing their names from consideration, Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton is scrambling to find a new head coach as national signing day approaches.

Apparently, the sticking point with Cutcliffe was over assistant coaches that would be held over from the Lane Kiffin fiasco. Seems to me that if Cutcliffe was your man you’d let him hire his staff.

OK, so I don’t expect my new favorite show, Blue Mountain State, to win any Emmys, but after watching a couple of the trailers I found myself laughing out loud. Blue Mountain State, the story of a legendary college football program premiers tonight on Spike TV at 10 PM EST and my apologies to the Daily Show but I’m gonna have to give this one a looksie.

Will Blue Mountain State be filled with sarcastic politically incorrect one liners that insult nearly every demographic? Hells Yes!
Will Blue Mountain State be filled with half-naked college football jocks in the locker room? Hells Yes!
Will Blue Mountain State be filled with more gay sex than you can shake your willy at? Probably not.

So there you go sarcasm and half-naked college football jocks guaranteed, enjoy!

Check out this trailer featuring Thad Castle as BMS’ Heisman Trophy hopeful. I love it when he rips on Bradford, McCoy and Tebow and then mocks fucking the mascot.

Yes, it’s high school humor at best, but I love shows that push the envelope and this one will almost certainly develop a huge gay following.

Go State!

I’ve been disappointed in a lot of things in my life, there was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the guy with the big feet…well you get the point. But never had I experienced what was close to outright sports depression as when I saw Colt McCoy get knocked out of the BCS title game.

To say that I was a little bummed is like saying Porky Pig has a slight speech impediment. Forget about staring at his hot ass all night long, I was mostly bummed because I was being cheated out of what I thought would’ve been one of the best college football championship games ever played.

With Colt McCoy, Texas and Alabama were even. Without Colt McCoy, game plans were altered on both sides and the BCS title game turned into a snoozer for the better part of an hour. Alabama turned extremely conservative offensively and Texas backup QB Garret Gilbert tried to overcome nerves solely on the strength of his rocket arm.

Side note: Gilbert’s really cute and he’s gotta cannon for an arm, however, I’ll still take Colt’s ass.

Back to the game, with McCoy getting x-rays on his injured shoulder, Gilbert completed just one pass in the first half. With Alabama playing not to lose for most of the third quarter, the game was about as exciting as waiting for your partner to orgasm after you’ve completed yours. And then the unexpected happen.

Gilbert faked a short route, looked off a defender and delivered a rope to a streaking Jordan Shipley who caught it in stride and raced for the end zone. Suddenly, down only 24-13, these steers had some fight in ‘em. On Texas’ next possession Gilbert took something off the ball and floated another TD pass to a wide open Shipley, and with a 2-point conversion the Longhorns trailed 24-21.

Texas got the ball back again down by three, deep in their own territory with just a few minutes left in the game. Could a true freshmen quarterback who couldn’t hit the broad side of a drag queen in the first half really rally his team from an 18-point deficit against the #1 team in the country at the Rose Bowl?

Hells No!

A sack from Gilbert’s blind side, a fumble and the game was over, Alabama wins the national championship. Turnovers, the one factor you can’t predict, decides the game.

There was the controversial interception on a shuffle pass, which was returned for a TD in the closing minute of the first half for Alabama, and there was the fumble at the end of the game which stood out, however Texas turned the ball over a total of five times.

In the end, it was as Texas head coach Mack Brown had predicted in his pre-game ABC interview, “whoever wins the turnover battle will win the game.”

Alabama won the game 37-21 and the turnover battle by three.
