At the very least, challenging for the Pac-12 South crown seems reasonable. With the clear favorite to start at quarterback sidelined for the spring, […]

Yes, we're talking about a mascot here. We know it's not everyone's cup of tea and frankly it usually isn't ours either, however this isn't just a normal mascot story.

Colorado D-Lineman & Frat Party equals bad mix
0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 2/28/2013
Stop me if you know the answer to this equation: Drunk football player + private Fraternity party =…. Yep, you guessed it, it equals football player going nuts, making a fool of himself, and landing him in some hot water with the police. It's a story as old as time and cheap beer on a […]

0 comments by Aaron Torres
At this point, we’ve basically run out of ways to say “Alabama is really good at this whole football thing.” That tends to happen after a team wins three titles in four years (let alone does it in the current climate of college football), finishes with three of the last four top ranked recruiting classes, […]

EA Sports announced yesterday that the cover vote for NCAA Football 14 had officially been trimmed down to two players, Michigan's Denard Robinson and Texas A&M's Ryan Swope.

0 comments by Aaron Torres on 2/26/2013

A Sign of the Times: Sports Illustrated features spring football on this week’s cover
0 comments by Aaron Torres
For years now, we’ve heard that college football is the “second most popular sport in America.” But while that statement has served as a cute little badge of honor for those of us who love college football, there was no way to truly quantify that statement. That is, until now. That’s because on mid-Tuesday morning […]
