If you don’t realize I’m a Tar Heel I’m not sure that you’ve been following closely. I love my Heels, that’s where I spent the best years of my life and where I learned so much about football that I can be considered an “expert” at this game. As we saw last week with Auburn […]

When former USC defensive backs coach Willie Mack Garza stepped away from his post just days prior to the Trojans season opener against Minnesota this year, it was a blip that barely made the national radar, let alone the local one. Granted, the timing was nothing if not strange, and Garza’s listing of “personal issues,” […]
The only thing worse than Ole Miss replacing the famed Colonel with the new and more politically correct “Rebel Black Bear” is the Rebs’ on-field performance lately. When Ole Miss decided to replace the Ragin’ Cajun Ed Orgeron with Houston Nutt, it appeared the right hire had been made. At the very least, Nutt helped […]
Apparently NCAA President Mark Emmert has grown as tired of conference realignment as the rest of us. Emmert blistered university administrators today in response to the conference sausage-making that has played out in public in recent months, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education blog Players. The money shot, literally, from Emmert: “The world’s convinced […]
Have you had enough of conference realignment yet? Too bad. Earlier in the summer, we talked about what life would be like for TCU in the Big East, which may be even more of a theoretical exercise now than we imagined at the time. We found out this weekend that Texas A&M has finally freed […]

Bad news just got worse for a team that didn’t need anymore of it. That’s because the Arkansas Razorbacks- one of the most injury plagued teams in college football this year, and fresh off a 38-14 beat down in Tuscaloosa- have just announced that star defensive end Tenarius Wright will miss four to six weeks […]

Every Monday,
The beginning of the Texas A&M’s Big 12 farewell tour had to leave the Aggies with a feeling that has become all too familiar during their time in the league: disappointment. In racing out to a 20-3 halftime lead against the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday, A&M played like a legitimate national championship contender. In the […]

For anyone who has read my work throughout this fall, you likely know that entering the season, I wasn’t very high on the Florida Gators. And when I say “Not very high,” that’s really just a nice way of saying that I thought they’d suck. As in, “lucky to get back to seven regular season […]

Just minutes after LSU defeated West Virginia 47-21, Les Miles stopped short of saying his Tigers deserve to be the No. 1 team in the nation. But when you consider the September slate that his team just completed, it’s hard to argue against it. “I like the position we are in right now,” Miles said. […]

Items of interest to get you ready for today’s action: * The biggest game, with the most meaningful implications is pretty clearly Arkansas at Alabama. The loser falls behind the eight-ball in the SEC West, and with each still having to play some combination of LSU, Mississippi State and Auburn, neither can afford a loss. […]
