August Maxim Issue

[EnK0806]

To anyone who receives Maxim, there is a piece on page 62 highlighting some of the best college players this year, those who made The All-Maxim Team. This is what they say about their #1 rb, Jaquizz Rodgers (Oregon State): "Single-handedly beat USC last year. (Sorry, rest of the Ducks' offense, but it's true.)"

I know this could simply be a mistake, but it also may be more evidence that nobody really gives a crap about west coast sports, or maybe just the Pac10. I'm a reasonably big college football fan, and I would never mix up any BCS team for their in-state rival ... whether it be Iowa State Cyclones and the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Oklahoma Sooners, or even the Mississippi Rebels and Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Again, it may have just been an oversight and the editors just missed one, but it's a pretty big one IMO. I'm not personally offended, being a Cat fan, but it does suck that even Oregon State, who has turned things around for themselves in recent years, can't get any recognition to the point where Maxim gets their name wrong. And it is just another sign that nobody really gives a crap about the Pac10 outside of USC.

And it's surprising that Maxim, of all magazines, would mistake Beavers for Ducks.

How about Phil Steele putting Boise State on the cover of their Pac-10 issue? At least maxim doesn't claim to be a magazine about college football.

[Adam Hawes]

Wow. I can't believe that people who get PAID to do this stuff can get away with having so little accountability.

Saw this in the July issue. PAC representing!

10 Worst BCS Teams
Posted Wednesday 07/22/2009 1:41 PM in Sports Blog by Danny Sheridan

Our annual hit list of the nation's most tragic squads.



10. Michigan
Cream puffs may pad their record, but most of the Big 10 will eat up Big Blue.

9. Baylor
The Bears’ losing squad returns 18 starters, but their schedule is murder.

8. Texas A&M
Went a dismal 0-5 against the Big 12 South last year.

7. Washington
Even star QB Jake Locker can’t save the Huskies.

6. Mississippi State
New coach Dan Mullen brings Florida’s offense—but none of its players.

5. Indiana
Dumped their best player with no one to replace him.

4. Iowa State
These Cyclones will really blow against the Big 12.

3. Duke
The back-to-back Worst 10 champs ain’t called Dookies for nothing.

2. Washingon State
Problem-free! Except at QB, RB, WR, and OL, that is.

1. Syracuse
The Orange have gone 10-37 over the past four years. Time to reward their hard work.

Are you ready for some football?

I wonder if Boise State is replacing ASU or one of the Washington schools this year?
