LOUD NOISES: BCS Week One Edition

Welcome to LOUD NOISES, where Bleed Bourbon columnists T Wallace and DC Real yell at each other via Gmail instead of doing work at their respective jobs (yes, every Bleed Bourbon columnist is gainfully employed in a field unrelated to blogging about Virginia Tech). So sit back and enjoy some vigorous discourse about college football [...]

DC’s Week Seven Countdown: Alcohol, the Andes Mountains and Austin City Limits

I have a confession to make. One that I probably shouldn’t admit, but one you really need to know before you embark on the adventure that is this week’s column. I haven’t watched a college football game in two weeks. It’s not that I don’t love college football, it’s just that well, I’ve been rocking [...]

DC Real’s Week Six Countdown: Vicodin and Victory

Author’s Note: I apologize if this column comes off a little disjointed or discombobulated. I began writing on Wednesday afternoon, woke up Thursday at 2 a.m. with a throbbing pain in my mouth and spent Thursday afternoon getting tiny metal awls shoved up the roots of a bicuspid of mine. Hence, I am finishing writing [...]

BC, NC, and as always, why I hate the AP

Unfortunately, the typical purveyors of this site are gallivanting through Europe, sipping wine and macing Serbs and I’m left holding down the fort. But with a full time job and a border collie with boundless energy, I haven’t found the time to replace the work of this site’s other five writers (two of whom didn’t [...]

DC’s NCAA Week Four Countdown: S-E-Blaspha-C

Three weeks is way too soon to judge anything, be it girlfriends, roommates or jobs. But screw it. Let’s judge away. We’re going to hold off on unveiling my Top 25 (bated breath people, it’s coming next week), and instead rank the major conferences, after three weeks of play. Why? Mostly because people on the [...]

DC’s NCAA Week Three Countdown: Missing My Mojo

Momentum’s a weird thing. It’s amazing how much a little switch can do. Last Thursday, I watched on television as Mississippi State drove the length of the field, under a minute to play, down three, ready to pull off the first of a number of big upsets I’d predicted. The 21st ranked Auburn Tigers were [...]

DC’s NCAA Week Two Countdown: All It Takes is One

It doesn’t take very long for college football to heat up now does it? A rack of games were closer than expected last week and our reward is a dozen games that will easily top most of last week.  Of course, that brings us a slate of games that’s much harder to predict.  Sitting in [...]

DC’s NCAA Week One Countdown: QB’s Get All Up In It

** My name’s David Covucci. I spent a few years as a columnist with the Collegiate Times, where I wrote a weekly college football picks column. You might remember it as “Covucci’s Corner.” This column, which will run every Friday, will pick games played by everyone in the AP Top 25. It is a light-hearted [...]
