Throwdown Challenge

Zach Bigalke

I undoubtedly have some of the highest word-count totals on this site, even if I don't necessarily have the quantity of comments or throwdowns or blogs that some others might. And after all, it's not necessarily how many things you produce, but the quality of that which is produced... So kids, remember to keep your thesaurus and the biggest dictionary you can find close at hand, and you too can someday rant on like Ol' Fire and Brimstone himself, Mr. Bigalke! I am the managing editor of Informative Sports (informativesports.com) and a frequent contributor to both Helium (helium.com) and FanNation. I offer a fresh take on a diverse range of sports and other topics through my archival website at The Cerebral Vortex (bigalke.angelfire.com)...

I had the good fortune to…

Oregon @ Boise State -- Aftermath

The dust has settled from last night's absurd affair in southwest Idaho. Boise State's players and personnel were able to sleep soundly last night in the knowledge that they had secured front-runner status early as the BCS Buster team to watch this season. The Broncos had proven several questions about themselves in their 19-8 victory over Oregon Thursday night: Their receiving corps are far better than we might've expected at the beginning of the season. In our preseason preview for Informative Sports, John Mitchell and I looked long and hard at this group of receivers and wondered long…
