It’s the middle of July and I’m sweltering hot. Even on a Sunday morning. It’s not stopping me from drinking some piping hot coffee and it’s not stopping me from applying facts to some tasty analysis. Watch in wonder as I dish out knowledge around: Jeopardy, Big 10, Big 12, Ohio State, Michigan, ACC, YES Network, Florida State, SEC, and Phil Steele.

This week was light on news what with America’s (and my) birthday being celebrated.

It’s a hectic week here at KCCGD HQ. I’m moving web hosts and the Phil Steele 2013 college football preview just came in. What to do what to do. Oh, hey! Be late on the Roar. Yup, I promise at some point it will consistently be on Sunday mornings but until then check out topics like: Oklahoma State, Wes Lunt, Illinois, Kansas, Big 12, Time Warner Cable, First Row Sports, Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Big 12, and Kansas State Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 74: Moving Some Steele

We go over the likes of Kansas State, John Currie, USC, Howard’s Rock, Clemson, NCAA, Mark Emmert, Texas A&M, College Station, Phil Steele, Texas, and Johnny Manziel. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 73: It’s The Life They Live
Yup it’s time I wing them again. I don’t like making things ultra official and professional (note the website) and I will follow that same lack of format for another Pick It and Stick It Special. It’s Dart Board Predictions time! I don’t keep track so if you want to hit me up on the Twitterz (twitter.com/kccgd) or email ([email protected]) and let me know just how smart or dumb I am. So with that out of the way, let’s sharpen up the darts and start tossing. Get out of the way.
Hey I’m back this week and I bought another copy of Phil Steele’s College Footbal Preview for 2012. Click through to find out why! I also talk about Charlie Weis, Kansas, Kansas State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Tom Osborne, Big 12, BCS, UTEP, ESPN, and a whiny Bob Stoops.

Okay, I’m back from a great float trip in the Ozarks and I’m still wiped out. This week we look at some of the college football crawfish that floated by the beachhead of news. I netted some tasty nuggets of news including Bobby Bowden, Randy Shannon, Kansas, Kansas State, Charlie Weiss, John Currie, Phil Steele, Big East, TCU, Texas, EA Sports College Football 2013, Baylor, Ohio State, Michigan, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This week I get caught up on all of the wacky conference meeting action. If you though realignment was a massive piss contest, wait until you hear about what the Pac 12, Big 12, Big 10, and SEC are sprinkling on now. Plus we talk Kansas, Northern Iowa, Bob Bowlsby, Steve Spurrier, and I hold a very special grudge against Phil Steele for picking on my Kansas State Wildcats.

We’re back again this week with the countup of mascots from Phil Steele’s preseason Top 50 for 2011. WIth the kind of week the Big 12 has been through, they could use a hero. A hero who has been through some recent changes as well. So with that in mind, we’ll look at $35 and the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes’ Captain Cane. This week, we will look at the reason there are hurricanes in Oklahoma, as well as check out how one of the lamest mascots got a makeover and somewhat of an upgrade. Board up the windows, here comes the latest edition of Mascot Monday
We are ever so close to the start of the college football season and ever so close to the end of this offseason’s edition of Mascot Mondays. This week, we are at Phil Steele’s number 39 in his preseason Top 50 poll for 2011 and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. There is, of course, another Bulldog team in the SEC and much like the other team, Mississippi State has both a live and a costumed mascot. Bully’s the name, and mascotting is both of their games. I am going to dig deep and find the Bully bone of history buried deep in Mississippi State’s backyard.
Here we are moving on up the list of mascots not yet covered by KCCGD that are in Phil Steele’s Top 50 Preseason for 2011. This week I’m going to take a look at #39 Clemson and the Clemson Tiger. I avoided this guy for awhile because the info is kinda weak out there and there seems to be a ton of tiger mascots out there. Welp, since Phil placed these guys so high it’s the perfect time to talk about the Clemson Tiger, well because it’s unavoidable at this point. So follow me along as I spin the tail of the Clemson Tiger and find out if he’s not just another pretty pussy cat.
Back again this week for another Mascot Monday and we are slowly but surely counting down our list of mascots not yet covered that are in Phil Steele’s 2001 Top 50 list. This week we’ll look at both versions of Southern Methodist University’s Peruna. Most people know SMU as that one football team that had so many NCAA violations in the 80s that they got what was coined ‘The Death Penalty.’ Some people today may connect the dots between ESPN analyst Craig James and SMU as well. But where we’ll be drawing on is the past and present day Mustangs mascot.
I’m kind of surprised I haven’t done a Pac 12 powerhouse like California yet, but hey here we go. This week I’m counting down Phil Steele’s Pre-Season Top 50 for 2001 and it’s number 48, the California Golden Bears. For some reason I’ve been avoiding Oski because he shows up in the weird mascot lists and he doesn’t look that weird to me. At any rate, I have him in my sights and will learn many things, including how a mascot chugs a beer. Oh boy, I’m already regretting that I waited this long.
