There aren't too many AD's in major college athletics that are 75 years old, then again not too many AD's in this country have been National Championship football coaches, members of congress, and been around their universities for most of the last 40 years or so. Earlier today Tom Osborne announced his retirement from the […]

Ask any coach what the preseason goal is and he will almost always say to win a conference championship. If you ever do that then there’s a good chance you’ll be playing in a BCS Bowl. Well, if you are in a BCS conference … or you are Boise State. Four weeks into the season […]

Week four of the college football season is in our rearview mirror. Believe it or not, that means we are one-third of the way through the regular season. Last year, Robert Griffin III staked claim to the Heisman Trophy on Nov. 19 when he hit a home run strike to Terrance Williams to lead his […]
Urban Meyer's return to coaching at Ohio State takes center stage this week as his Buckeyes travel to Michigan State in the best match-up of a somewhat unappealing slate of games. Ramzy Nasrallah of Ohio State site Eleven Warriors check in with Crystal Ball Run's Allen Kenney for a podcast on Meyer's transition back into […]

Chalk up another one for realignment. Notre Dame pulled the trigger on pulling out of their extended series with Michigan yesterday, which should come as little surprise with future scheduling agreements with the ACC and a desire to retain rivalries with Navy, USC and Stanford. It was merely a matter of time before this decision […]

Tennessee at No. 5 Georgia Saturday, 3:30 p.m., CBS Line: Georgia -13 Well, Derek Dooley, now is the time. It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since you’ve arrived on Rocky Top, and while your program has improved exponentially since Day 1, it still isn’t entirely showing up in the win column. At some point you’ve got […]

Before Temple made the decision to accept an invitation back to the Big East the plans to expand and renovate their outdated football building, Edberg-Olson Hall, was already in the works. It was part of a renewed commitment to football that started with the hiring of Al Golden because the program was in danger of […]

First it was Nebraska-Oklahoma. Then Texas-Texas A&M. And next, The Backyard Brawl, between Pittsburgh and West Virginia. All great rivalries, all ruined by college football realignment. And on Tuesday morning, another great rivalry was taken away from us, when it was announced that starting in 2015 Notre Dame and Michigan will play no more. The […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Da6K0a5RPUA As you may remember, last week we tipped you off to a video called “The Dark Chiz Rises," a goofy Batman spoof, which “starred” Gene Chizik as Bruce Wayne, trying to save a crumbling Gotham City… or in this case, a crumbling college football program down on the Plains. It’s safe to say that […]

No. 8 Stanford at Washington Thursday, 9:00 p.m. EST, ESPN Line: Stanford -7 So Stanford fans, we hope you had fun. Because just two weeks after pulling off the biggest upset of the season (not to mention biggest win of David Shaw’s short tenure at your school) and getting a week off to celebrate, it’s […]

Is Arkansas head coach John L Smith just completely off his rocker? Is the pressure of real world issues catching up to the interim Arkansas head coach? Or after a disappointing 1-3 start has Smith just checked out on this season knowing he likely was not coming back to coach the Razorbacks in 2013 and […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CWqOD2iheFg Arkansas interim John L. Smith has had a rough go of it so far in Fayetteville since taking over from the freewheeling Bobby Petrino. His Top 10 preseason team has fallen to 1-3 with home losses to Louisiana-Monroe and Rutgers bookending a nice 52-0 shellacking at the hands of #1 Alabama. The John L. […]
