Case of the Mondays: On UCLA, discomfort at Ohio State and Pretty Boy Floyd

After a one-week hiatus, welcome back to this week’s “Case of the Mondays” where we are officially entrenched in college football’s offseason. Final exams have started nationwide, spring ball is over, and what we’re left with one big void of college football knowledge and information. Of the few nuggets remaining this week, we begin at […]

Sammy Watkins arrested, but Clemson fans shouldn’t be too concerned

First, let’s get to the facts: One of the single most dynamic playmakers in college football (not to mention an early 2012 Heisman Trophy favorite) was arrested Thursday night. The culprit?

Mark Richt’s stance on transfers? Go wherever the heck you want!

Other than a football playoff, no topic has gotten the college sports world buzzing these last few months quite like the NCAA’s outdated- and at times unfair- transfer policy.

LSU provides four years of Les Miles fueled entertainment. But Ole Miss? Sure Ed Oregeron had some success at the school, but otherwise, the Rebels […]

Caption contest: Trooper Taylor steals our hearts again!

As I’ve argued many times before, Trooper Taylor may be America’s greatest natural resource. Ok, maybe that’s taking it one step too far. But at the very least, Auburn’s towel-wavin’ chest-bumpin’, occasionally wide-receiver coachin’ assistant, is the single most entertaining man in college football. But sometimes, even Trooper Taylor outdoes himself. Like today for example, […]

Spring practice weekend round-up: The April 22 edition

Well folks, we hope you enjoyed yesterday.
