We have now officially reached the doldrums of the college football calendar, where up is down, left is right, and the only thing passing for “news” these days is when a bunch of bloated (literally and figuratively) athletic directors get together in a secluded room, argue for eight hours, then spend the rest of the […]

We now have a pretty decent idea of where everybody stands in the debate over which playoff format is the best for college football. The Big 12 and SEC want semifinals played in bowl games or neutral sites and the best four teams, regardless of conference affiliation. The Big Ten and Pac 12 want on-campus […]

I’m not a fan of Sean “P. Diddy”/”Diddy”/”Puffy”/”Puff Daddy” Combs. I’ve found him to be a middling M.C. at best. He is a good hype man, though. I will give him that. Well his son is in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. Actually, to clarify, his son is in the news for […]
( Editor’s note: From now until the beginning of the season, CBR will periodically preview 2012’s “danger games.” Think Oklahoma St.-Iowa St. from a year ago or Oregon St.’s upset of USC in 2008 – those unassuming match-ups most likely to trip up the power teams. We start with a nasty surprise for the Michigan Wolverines […]

With guys like Mike Leach, Rich Rodriguez and Jim Mora getting back on the sidelines this fall, it’s easy to see why so many fan bases are excited to get things started again in the fall. But how do you evaluate their success since most of them are taking over programs that have hit rock […]

Cover any sport and you come across weird stories. After a while, you think you’ve seen it all, heard it all, and that there is literally nothing that can surprise you. And it’s usually at that point which a story comes along that is so bizarre you think to yourself, “Man, that’s so strange, even […]

Coaches whine about complex recruiting rules then go out and do things like this. Georgia Tech sent 52 recruiting letters on one day to a prospect, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Michael Carvell. Sending obnoxious amounts of propaganda at one time appears to be the latest in silly — and very environmentally friendly – recruiting […]

Let’s go! Or if you are Craig James, back to the drawing board… SEC meetings are underway this week and plenty of good stuff is coming out of the meetings, from playoff and expansion talk to the typical Steve Spurrier one-liners. Spurrier, asked about Florida State being picked number one by Phil Steele, reacted in […]

Although the Iowa Hawkeyes limped to a somewhat disappointing 7-6 season in 2011, it’s hard to blame starting quarterback James Vandenberg for many of their problems. With a revolving door at running back, and the departure of the Hawkeyes best receiver from 2010 (Darrell Johnson-Koulianos), Vandenberg still managed to throw for over 3,000 yards in […]
