http://youtube.com/watch?v=hini7BmqztE Memo to college football fans across the country: You might not like Lane Kiffin, but you better get used to him. Yes, the coach everyone loves to hate has the prohibitive BCS National Championship favorite heading into 2012, but we already knew that. The scary thing though? The Trojans aren’t slowing down anytime soon. […]

Move over Jeremy Foley. Take a seat Mal Moore. DeLoss Dodds, get the hell out of the way. There’s a new king of college football athletic administrators. His name is Pat Haden, he works at USC and- on his way to taking over the world- he once again hit pay dirt yesterday for the Trojans […]

When it was announced late last night that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Torii Hunter had taken an indefinite leave of absence from the team, it wasn’t immediately obvious why there’d be any type of college football twist to the story. Only there is, and it’s under the most unfortunate circumstances. That’s because according to a […]

One of my favorite pastimes is setting imaginary odds on random, hypothetical situations. It’s not healthy, but I do this for almost everything, especially weddings and Notre Dame football. Why those two in particular? Both are painfully predictable and otherwise intolerable. I mean, have you ever truly dedicated a Saturday to watching a Notre Dame […]
You didn’t think we’d actually make it through another offseason without more talk of conference realignment, did you? Here are 10 expansion-heavy thoughts and observations to start your week off right. 1.

Is Arkansas a program spiraling out of control? Or is what’s going on in Fayetteville right now just par for the course in major college football? Those are the questions that all Razorbacks fans are asking themselves this morning, as another major off the field distraction has hit at Arkansas. First, the news: The Arkansas […]
While chatter about the possibility that Florida St. has been looking to leave the ACC has swirled on message boards and blogs for months, the theories no longer seem so conspiratorial after the head of the school’s board of trustees lambasted the conference Saturday and indicated the Seminoles are interested in the Big 12. In […]

If you’ve been paying close attention to college football’s push toward a playoff (and believe me, I haven’t), you’ll know that Big Ten commissioner is the proverbial thorn in the side of the rest of the conference commissioners. Originally, Delany called for a playoff to consist of only conference champions; and yeah, nobody liked that. […]

It’s no secret that the boredom of college football’s off-season lends writers to find pretty unique and interesting ways to pass the time. And well, the guys over at the Sporting News have definitely taken that to the extreme this week, when they released their rankings of the best coaches in college football. No, no, […]

Slate organized a panel on the state of college football earlier this week, and the question of whether the sport should be banned on the collegiate level. Junior Seau’s suicide last week has added fuel to the fire regarding player safety, but reformers are also pointing to the relationship between major sports and the academic […]

Want a piece of modern college football history? Well, it can be yours, if the price is right! What piece of history might we be talking about? Could we possibly being talk about a few blades of grass from the epic 2010 Iron Bowl? Nope. A couple chards of the broken crystal ball Alabama won […]

Over the course of his storied career in college athletics, Barry Alvarez has proven to be pretty darn good at anything he puts his mind to. Alvarez won a National Championship as a rising, young defensive coordinator at Notre Dame, led Wisconsin to three Rose Bowls in his time as a head coach, and now […]
