a modest proposal Stories - Team Speed Kills
THE CURIOUS INDEX, 2/26/2010
I CAN QUIT WHENEVER I WANT TO. NOW HERE'S THREE DIMES ON McCLUSTER IN THE 40. Say you had this inescapable feeling that the last score of the Super Bowl was going to be a defensive TD, and you've been kicking yourself ever since for not actually putting any money on it. Your redemption is at...
The TSK Playoff Championship
Perhaps it's not a surprise on an SEC blog, but the final vote put Alabama into the TSK Playoff Championship Game against Florida. It's a rematch for everything, this time in Miami. Voting will be open until 7 p.m. Jan. 8, the day of the BCS National Championship Game.
The TSK Playoff Sets Its Championship
We're still seeking our first upset after the Florida Gators defeat the Texas Longhorns in the second round of the Team Speed Kills playoff to advance to the championship. Now, top-seeded Oklahoma begins its playoff run with a game against the Crimson Tide, who narrowly defeated Southern Cal to...
The TSK Playoff Moves to Round 2
Well. Didn't see that one coming. The vote for who won (5) Southern Cal vs. (4) Alabama ended in a tie. A perfect 50-50 deadlock. That's not in the rules, people. So we have a few choices, all of them favorable to Alabama. We can go with the higher seeding. We can go with the way The Rivalry,...
The TSK Playoff Continues
(To see the background on the Team Speed Kills Playoff, go here. You can also take part in similar fun over at The Rivalry, Esq. They have an eight-team system.) Our lone mid-major exits the tournament early, with our voters clearly choosing Texas over Utah. "Clearly" might be an understatement;...
Let's have a playoff
Everyone always has my playoff ideas first. This time, it was The Rivalry, Esq., who pre-emptively ripped off my idea to have a vote for the champion under a playoff, much like mgoblog's Brian Cook pre-emptively ripped off my idea for a playoff format a year before I wrote it. People, get your own...
A Modest Proposal, Part III: What I Want
It came to C&F, as A Modest Proposal was being hailed by people he usually disagrees with and dissected by people he usually agrees with on the matter of a playoff that perhaps his intent had escaped. I never intended to give a blank-check endorsement to a playoff. Any notion that I did was...
THE THREAD [05.19.08] :: Deja vu all over again
We've been here before.But it was the other way around. Then -- think waaaay back to the last weekend in April -- the Gamecocks were the favorites and LSU was clinging to life, holding a 6-11-1 SEC record and still in the race, such as it was, for the West because this year the SEC West is to...
THE THREAD [05.21.08] :: Short and Long of It
Necessarily short tonight...Long, though, will be the problem in Hoover. The long distance to get the ball out of the park, that is. Regions Park, among the biggest ballparks in the nation, is where home runs come to die. And lately it's been where the Gamecocks' offense has expired as well.So a...
THE THREAD [05.19.08] :: Fallout
At the beginning of the weekend, everyone knew that the stakes would be high as the Gamecocks baseball team took the field. Win the Tennessee series and South Carolina would likely be headed to Hoover. (Yay small-town Alabama!!!)And Reese Havens -- who else? -- clinched the trip to Hoover with a...
