For years, the mantra of non-AQ college football programs was simple: “Make the big boys notice us.” Well, consider it done. In the last few years alone, Utah (no longer a non-AQ) beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, TCU beat Wisconsin in the “Granddaddy of them All,” and Boise has beaten Virginia Tech, Oregon and […]

Few know the Northwestern football program quite like Phillip Rosman-Reich. The Northwestern grad does an excellent job covering the team for RiseNorthwestern.com (Phillip is changing addresses later this week) as well as the Big Ten website Delanys Dozen. Not to mention that he’s constantly sharing his thoughts on the Wildcats

Update: Shortly after CBR posted this story, LSU acted swiftly and suspended Jefferson and Johns indefinitely in a statement released by the school… “Jordan and Josh have been suspended indefinitely. We will continue to cooperate with the authorities in an effort to find out exactly what took place during the incident. As sad as this incident […]

I remember a scene from “All the President’s Men” when Jason Robards, who playing Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, says “Fuck it, we’ll stand by the boys.” Now, I’m not sure that’s what anyone at Yahoo! Sports is saying about Charles Robinson, the investigative reporter who dropped a bombshell on the Miami Hurricanes. But one […]
The bickering in the Lone Star State this off-season might have you thinking that no one in the Big 12 is happy. Texas A&M hates the Longhorn Network to the point that the Aggies are leaving the conference for a league where they could very well be cast off into oblivion. Texas fans can’t ogle […]

What started off as a preseason full of optimism, has turned into nothing short of a nightmare for LSU fans. As they await the fate of starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson for next Saturday’s opener against Oregon in Dallas, the Bayou Bengals were dealt a brutal blow Thursday, when, according to the Twitter account of ESPN’s […]

For all the things that ESPN does that annoys the hell out of us (the Longhorn Network, #FreeBruce, their entire Baseball Tonight staff), it’s easy to forget that they do in fact do quite a bit of good work. Some of their best, and most creative stuff comes from their marketing staff, which consistently pumsp […]

The ACC. What can be said about the ACC? It is another year in the league newly reconstructed in 2005 and another year of question marks all over the place. What will come from the two full scale coaching swaps in the league? What will come from the coaching staff moves? How will the new […]

College football is a sport that can be known at times for its passionate fans. People arrive days early for tailgates. They call into radio shows and scream at rival fans. More than a few harass recruits via Twitter and Facebook. Simply put, there isn’t a group of people who care more about their respective […]

Update: After Crystal Ball Run first mentioned Thursday morning that as many as 12 University of Miami football players were set to be suspended by the school, the hammer officially dropped on Thursday evening. The Miami Herald is reporting that indefinite suspensions (barring NCAA investigations) have been handed down to eight Miami players. The University […]

The Pac 12 takes the field for the first time this Fall as Utah and Colorado join the conference and the league splits into two divisions – Gates and Schwarzenegger. Wait, you mean the Pac 12 didn’t give their conferences ridiculously laughable names? You mean it’s just North and South? Well, that’s disappointingly normal. Oh […]
Ever since the Mad Hatter, Les Miles, took over in Baton Rouge, there have been few dull moments on the field for the LSU Tigers. He constantly puts his team in spots that leave his coaching acumen open to questioning, but he never fails to entertain. Unfortunately for supporters of the Bayou Bengals, the action […]
