Weekend Wrap-Up (on Syracuse, Big East RB’s, Speaking Gigs, and Gut Check)

September 20th, 2010 in -- by admin 3

Greetings TED WINS./Gut Check Army,
Feeling a little glum this morning.  Probably because my fantasy football team lost again…I’m thinking of just benching all of my players, and disbanding The Rusty Hilgers for the rest of the season and the rest of my life.  Fantasy Football has ruined two consecutive Sunday afternoons.  That’s unacceptable in my [...]

Thanks Cordog!

Greetings Orange Nation!  Short post today…I’m busy in the office building my multi-media empire and preparing for tomorrow night’s Syracuse-Maine showdown.  But I’ve had several requests for photos in my Syracuse swag…which I wore last weekend to a UM/Notre Dame party, and will wear this weekend to a Michigan State tailgate.  It’s always a [...]

September 15th, 2010 in -- by admin 5

Here we go. Scandal is as much a part of the fabric and pageantry of college football as bands, cheerleaders, complicated BCS/Computer rankings, and the boys from good Ol’ State U.

Before we even get started: Buy my new audio book “Facing Tyson: Fifteen Fighters, Fifteen Stories” here.

Dear TED WINS./Gut Check/Syracuse Army,
It’s been a busy week…back in the classroom shaping collegiate minds, lunching with rock stars (this happened), putting out an audio book and a speaking gig have all prevented me from spending the time I need to spend studying and familiarizing myself with my Syracuse Orange. But here’s what [...]

Help Me Choose a College Team to Care About (and I’ll Blog About It Weekly for the Rest of the Season)

September 7th, 2010 in -- by admin 27

Greetings TED WINS. Army. I’ve had a request to blog more about sports, and as you know if you’ve been around here at all, I take all requests seriously. As you also know, I love sports (read: football) even though I rarely blog about them (it).
That said, I have a serious [...]
