Les Miles is Losing...Told You So

The things that seem obvious to me may not seem so to most (as I have come to learn). I do not make outlandish predictions to garner attention. I make predictions that many do not understand because they haven't exercised independent, non-guided thought..

The BCS System: How Parity in College Football Today Demands a Change

More Rotation Woes For The Braves
