While it’s easy to forget now, it was just seven years ago that the biggest story in the lead-up to Super Bowl XL was the race of the head coaches Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy. The pair were the first African-American coaches to ever go head-to-head with the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the line, and […]

Johnny Manziel is the type of guy who goes to the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Nevada and the “ladies” offer him the goods for free. Manziel, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and fresh off leading Texas A&M to a molesting of Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, tweeted the above photo of himself with friends at […]

Entering the 2013 Cotton Bowl, there was legitimate fear amongst Texas A&M fans that maybe, just maybe, Johnny Manziel had too much fun on the postseason awards circuit. In their defense, you can see why, since Manziel seemingly spent more time over the last month hanging out with LeBron James, Megan Fox and the Jonas […]

There's a school of thought that once the whistle blows and the first kick is in the air head coaches don't matter much, but come Monday in the BCS National Championship is that really the case? We say no, both coaches have a major roll in their respective teams, so perhaps the better question is […]
There are 35 college football bowl games being played this year. It seems odd to me that there are so many games, given that only a handful of teams are playing. We saw Pac-12 and Big 12 square off in Phoenix last night. Big 12 is getting a workout, as it has another game tonight […]

With NFL teams burning up Chip Kelly’s phone lines of late, Thursday’s Fiesta Bowl very well could have been the Oregon head coach’s final game at the school. And if it was, Kelly certainly went out in style. His Ducks cruised to a 35-17 victory over Kansas State that was rarely in doubt from the […]

It’s a funny thing about bowl season: Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you realize you’ve actually seen nothing at all. College football fans were given a refresher in exactly that on Wednesday night, in Louisville’s shocking 33-24 Sugar Bowl win over Florida. The sad thing for Florida fans is that this game […]

Line: Oregon -8 Oregon is metallic uniforms, office hot tubs and, well, Oregon cheerleaders. Kansas State is cheap Cotton Bowl windbreakers, Bible study and a dude in a luchador mask. It's Snyderball versus the […]

In Monday afternoon’s 21-7 Sun Bowl loss to Georgia Tech, the USC Trojans not only put up one of the truly pathetic efforts of the entire bowl season, but also concluded one of the most disappointing years in recent college football history. After all, it’s not often you see a team ranked No. 1 in […]
Somewhere in a morass of cubicles at adidas headquarters sit a group of employees charged with making Notre Dame "cooler." Collaborating with with DJ Mick Boogie to remix the Fighting Irish anthem is their latest contribution, if you can call it that. Look, I'm far from some crotchety old fart who clings to traditions like […]
