'Ghosts of Ole Miss' Comes Off as Obtuse
Remember the scene in A League of Their Own when an African-American woman throws a foul ball back to Dottie Henson and the audience is given the heavy-handed message that, Hey, black people are just like us! Well, that was a better lesson on civil rights than anything from Ghosts of Ole Miss, an unimpressive film in ESPN's 30 for 30 series.

Johnny Manziel Takes Texas A&M on Tour
When I was 17, my parents packed our family in the minivan, stocked the cooler with Cokes and candy bars and ham sandwiches, and set out across the South on a tour of colleges, none of which I would later attend. The van was a Chevy Astro the color of the Cowboys' star, with deep-blue velour upholstery and more cup-holders than even our family of five could use.

Want to get fired as a football coach? Play Texas State.

Old School and High Tech
I remember visiting my divorced father on weekends. He’d be cradled in his recliner, eyes fixed on two smallish televisions on at once, each tuned to a different football game – college on Saturdays, pro on Sundays, natch. No remote control. No wall-covering screen. No high definition.

Barnburner: A Hot Time in Shreveport Saturday Night
"Late last night …"
Early Sunday morning, the Aggies eked a red-eye win from their trip to Shreveport, beating the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 59-57 in regulation. The final whistle didn’t sound until 12:45am, nearly four and a half hours after Saturday's kickoff. It was an agonizing win for the Aggies, who take a 5-1 record into this week's matchup with LSU.

Stoops and Franchione
Editor's note: Joe O’Connell claims to have intercepted this message left by OU Coach Bob Stoops in Dennis Franchione’s voicemail box, but O’Connell also claims to have the power to steal elections and to understand the inner thoughts of Gruyere cheese. We don’t believe a word of it and neither should you.

Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss
As the Aggies prepared to visit Oxford for their first away game in the SEC, I experienced a peculiar but common phenomenon: my ears, previously deaf to Rebel revelry, suddenly heard the words "Hotty Toddy" everywhere.
