The move that Texas fans have been waiting to see for months has officially happened. No, it has nothing to do with the Pac-12 vs. Independent, but instead with former five-star superstar Garrett Gilbert being moved permanently to the Texas bench. That’s right, as after a disappointing sophomore season, and slow start to the 2011 […]

Point spreads. To some, “point spreads” is a dirty little term that elicits all kinds of negative thoughts. Thoughts of smoky casinos and overcrowded sports books, not to mention down on their luck losers, handing over the last dime of their daughter’s college fund, all because daddy couldn’t lay off Ron Zook and the points […]

So what they’re doing is living off their reputation and not their production. Let’s see who that may be. Tom Perry: There was a time […]

In a game that ended with Chris Relf laying just a few inches short of the endzone, the Mississippi State Bulldogs’ demons of the SEC West became real again. It has been two full seasons since the gang from Starkville has beaten an SEC West team from outside of the Mississippi border and they will […]
For Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns, the beginning of Saturday’s night game against the BYU Cougars probably gave them flashbacks to the nightmare that was their entire 2010 season. They woke up in the second half to find out that they weren’t sitting naked in a classroom taking a Russian literature exam that they […]

Remember last year when Denard Robinson topped everyone’s Heisman Trophy list through the first four or five games? The game that really caught everyone’s attention was Michigan’s 28-24 win at Notre Dame. Robinson threw for 244 yards and a touchdown, while adding another 258 yards and two scores on the ground. Shoelace is back! Robinson’s […]

As everyone gets set to reflect back on the second Saturday in college football, the quick, knee-jerk reaction is going to be to discuss Notre Dame-Michigan.

Entering Saturday’s showdown at Wisconsin, one of the great unanswered questions in college football was this: Could Oregon State possibly be as bad as their 29-28 loss to Sacramento State last weekend might indicate? Given that they fell behind 14-3 at the half, and had to rally just to force overtime, it seemed likely. Then […]
Items of interest to get you ready for today’s action: *At some point, the major media will get how little the vast majority of fans care about the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry, right? If you have to play a night game as a gimmick to generate interest, that is a sad commentary on trying to stay […]
