After what was simply a shocking elimination of our season long favorite, Desiree, last week on The Bachelor it's safe to say no one is safe and that the stakes couldn't be higher as we are off to Thailand with our ex-Kansas State linebacker, Sean Lowe. Left in the "competition" are Lindsay, AshLee, and Catherine […]

Under former coach Pat Hill, Fresno State had a reputation of playing anyone, anywhere. However, the Bulldogs lost more than it won and even became a non-factor in the Western Athletic Conference. So Hill was jettisoned and nabbed the popular Texas A&M assistant Tim DeRuyter. While some die-hards were sad to see Hill go, DeRuyter […]

He was singing the same song last spring, and while the Longhorns turned […]
Here's an h-o-t sports take from Deadspin's Isaac Rauch on "the BCS:" Criminy – schools lose money on bowl games! In this case, the aggrieved party is Ohio University, which dropped a shade under $80,000 in December for its beloved Bobcats to travel to Shreveport and kick the tar out of Louisiana-Monroe in the Independence […]
"Johnny Football." "Honey Badger." "AD." Could these be the key to opening a loophole in NCAA rules prohibiting college athletes from profiting off their on-field exploits? According to The Southeast Texas Record, the corporation owned by Heisman Trophy winner and man about town Johnny Manziel, JMAN2 Enterprises, has filed a trademark infringement suit against a […]
Much like putting chocolate on cheesecake, pairing two titans in their field always sounds like a great idea. History, however, has shown that the results can run the gamut from mindblowingly awesome (e.g., "Alien vs. Predator") to downright depressing ("The Two Coreys"). In the field of high-powered, pass-happy offenses, June Jones and Hal Mumme certainly […]

Unlike so many other first year college football coaches, Todd Graham didn’t inherit a broken program when he arrived at Arizona State in the winter of 2011. There wasn’t the need for a major schematic overhaul, no extreme talent infusion or even the dreaded “culture change” that so many first-year coaches promise when they arrive […]

For the University of Miami, the wait appears to be over. The NCAA has sent the school a Notice of Allegations on their investigation into the Nevin Shapiro situation, and from the tone in school President Donna Shalala’s voice, fans of the program are not going to be very happy with what the NCAA has […]

It’s no secret that it’s been a tough few months for (what’s left of) the Big East football conference. Still, even as the conference crumbles around them, and as teams flee the league like they’re trying to escape a burning building, that didn’t stop the University of Cincinnati from getting into the Christmas spirit and […]
