During the March Madness Tournament, there is always at least one underdog that overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to beat the odds on favorite. Talented underdogs give us a reason to root against the favorite; they make things interesting. They are the David that slays Goliath, the long shot that pays off. The following are some of the best and most surprising upsets in NCAA Championship Tournament history.

What a freakin’ week! The college season is starting to heat up as the strong flex their muscles, the weak get stomped, and the pretenders get exposed. Here’s a recap of the best games from the weekend.

Everybody generally loves a winner. I say generally because there is always someone who hates the winner (the loser). However, there is always one thing that everybody loves, the underdog. Here are the best and most surprising upsets in March Madness history.

“In South Carolina, you don’t need no bass boat” pretty much sums this one up. Give a redneck a mud hole, a backhoe, a pair of skis and throw in a woman who laughs like a chimpanzee and you’ve got instant internet gold. Look out National League, here they come.

With Week 8 coming at you at full speed this weekend, we will take a look at the first BCS top ten rankings of the 2009 season. While Bama fans would probably prefer the AP poll since their Crimson Tide have taken over the top spot, we here at COED are more interested in the BCS because it makes us think of Bottomless Cheerleading Squads…

For the first time seemingly all season, last week was rather quiet in the top ten – on the field. Off the field, the cheerleaders and annual beer pong tournaments were making plenty of noise on campus. With only a few weeks to go before Halloween gives us the hottest mix of scantily clad girls with BACs pushing 0.4, let’s take a look at this week’s matchups for the best of the best in college football…

Week 6 is upon us in the land of college football, and many campuses are starting to get hit with the colors of autumn, the crisp coldness in the air, and most importantly, the two or three extra shots needed to keep warm in the student section during the game. With a continual whirlwind knocking the top teams out of the rankings each week, expect more of the same this week…

As we mention on a weekly basis, no team or cheerleader is safe as they appear on COED’s college football preview. A top 10 ranking has been a gauntlet for teams to stay on pace for a shot at a BCS bowl, as four more top 10 teams fell last week (10 total in four weeks) – Mississippi, Penn State, California, and Miami (FL) – and Cal got absolutely shattered by Oregon.

After an excellent Week Three that saw the perpetually overrated USC Trojans drop out of the top 10 after falling to an unranked Washington team and an enormous leap by Miami into the nine-slot after slaughtering a talented Georgia Tech team, we look forward to an even better week as conference play opens up across the rest of the college football nation.

Calls for the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana grew louder this week, coming from a highly unlikely group: the police. In a 180-degree shift in position, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agents, along with police chiefs and elected sheriffs from around the state announced their support for the legalization and taxation of marijuana.

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were both critically injured late Friday night in a plane crash that killed 4 other passengers, authorities are reporting.
“The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m. Friday” and both Barker and Goldstein were transpo… Click to read more

Partying With College Cheerleaders: USC’s Allison Whitney
I’ve decided to start a new segment that I’m 100% sure will have zero objections: “Partying with College Cheerleaders.” Allow me to introduce one of the Gamecocks of South Carolina by the name of Allison Whitney.
Most of her glory days were in the 2005-2006 season and she was nice enough to share her p… Click to read more

Stephen Colbert’s Strange Request To The Princeton’s Class of 2008
“Gandhi said, ‘you must be the change you want to see in the world,’” Stephen Colbert told an audience of thousands at the Class Day ceremony this afternoon. “But may I also point out he drank his own urine, so let’s not go overboard on his advice.”
The host and executive producer o… Click to read more

Like any good twenty-something, I’m on several random email lists, usually of the happy hour variety. When one of my favorite haunts in lower Manhattan emailed me about an open bar next Monday, I did a cartoon-style double-take. Not because I’m that excited about an open bar, but because in the subject line, this one was exclusively for supporters of Barack O… Click to read more
