The voters have spoken and the ASA Avengers are the winners of The 20 Coolest-Named JUCO/COCO Sports Teams contest! It’s hard to tell which thing people found cooler: the name Avengers or that incredibly cool logo up there. My e-mailers wanted that look on anything from T-shirts to jackets to tattoos, so I have a feeling ASA could subsidize their institution just off of merchandising. I call dibs on their fight song for my ring-tone! To follow their teams and inquire about buying something with that logo on it click here: http://www.asa.edu/default-athletics.asp
In second place were the Hutchinson Blue Dragons, and just like with the Avengers voters were torn about which was more appealing: the name Blue Dragons or the logo. To follow their teams click here: http://cms.hutchcc.edu/hcc/Dragonshome.aspx?menu_id=156&head_id=8554&id=172
In third place were the Iowa Western Reivers, proving the perennial popularity of swashbuckling imagery for sports teams! To follow their teams click here: http://athletics.iwcc.edu/

On Saturday November 6th at James H. Taylor, II Stadium in Williamsburg, KY the University of the Cumberlands football team hosted Mid-South Conference (MSC) Western Division foe Faulkner University.

The win also gives the Patriots an opportunity to be the MSC Western Division Champions with a win on Saturday against Cumberland University.
With such a dominating performance on the field the Patriots were able to enter the history books as a team and many players were able to break or tie nine Cumberlands football records. Continue reading

It was on November 6th, 1869, that Rutgers and Princeton played the very first college football game “on the banks of the Raritan” as the Rutgers fight song says. One of the things I love about college football is how far back its history goes. It feels odd to think that Ulysses S Grant was in the White House when that game was played. If his cabinet members had gotten involved in the sport I’m sure they would have masterminded cheating and recruitment scandals that make today’s revelations look pretty mild by comparison! A pack of larcenous, dishonest weasels in the White House, just like today! The more things change, the more they stay the same! Here’s to 141 years of college football and shallow, clueless figureheads in the Presidency!
