LSU
The NCAA Football series.There is nothing in a 20-something year-old college football die-hard's life that can match the unbridled excitement of it. Well, actually, there are lots of things. Beer, vagina, re-runs of Family Guy, this picture, Stouffer's French-Bread pizza, vagina, stumbling upon a classic scene from The Godfather while flipping channels, vagina. Still, it's a pretty fun game. And...

LSU may have lost star QB & Osama bin Laden hunter Ryan Perrilloux, but the Tigers can take comfort by telling themselves (and everyone else) that they have the fastest college football player ever.

This year's clash of the titans will be dubbed "The Clash of the Coaches". Images from blog.oregonlive.com and Rex Arbogast, AP
The national championship game comes early this season. According to ESPN the two head-coaches that most define the BCS's first ten years, the two coaches that have withstood the test of time are USC's Pete Carroll and Ohio State's Jim Tressell (in that order). Carroll's Trojans have gone 70-8 in the past six years, winning 5 of 6 consecutive BCS bids (including going 2 for 3 on National Championships). Tressell's Buckeyes have gone 66-11 in the past six years, winning three of five BCS bids (including going 1 for 3 on National Championships). Tressel's recent image has been tarnished after back to back blowout losses to Florida and LSU in the '07 and '08 BCS championships.
For Tressel it's a chance at redemption. For Carroll, it's further proof that USC has merely reloaded its weapons. The Game of the 2008 Season, USC vs. Ohio State, goes down 9/13/2008 at the Coliseum.

Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson All the chatter about the Raiders taking Darren McFadden with the No. 4 overall pick Saturday has filtered down to the team's current No. 1 tailback. It seems Justin Fargas is fine with the talk. Certainly, Fargas, a former USC standout who has quietly emerged into a solid NFL tailback, would rather Oakland use...

Bryant chose USC over Florida State, Florida, Miami, Alabama and LSU. Brice Butler chose USC over Georgia. Blake Ayles could have gone to Ohio State. Now it cuts both ways. Malik Jackson was headed to Fresno...
