Going head-to-head with Ohio State is never an easy task on the football field. It’s even tougher trying to pry fans away to watch a game that doesn’t involve the Buckeyes, who have a waiting list of people just wanting the honor of paying around $750 for one season ticket. So I’m going to give […]

After a one-week hiatus, welcome back to this week’s “Case of the Mondays” where we are officially entrenched in college football’s offseason. Final exams have started nationwide, spring ball is over, and what we’re left with one big void of college football knowledge and information. Of the few nuggets remaining this week, we begin at […]

Anyone who watched Oregon football last year knows that even on one of college football’s fastest teams, De’Anthony Thomas stood out as quite possibly the Ducks fastest individual player. The 5’9 true freshman was electrifying at times, and a straight blur at others, with no game more indicative of that than this January’s Rose Bowl. […]

First, let’s get to the facts: One of the single most dynamic playmakers in college football (not to mention an early 2012 Heisman Trophy favorite) was arrested Thursday night. The culprit?

Ty Hilldenbrandt: As crazy as it seems right now, at the time the BCS was implemented, it was hailed as a great new concept… until it wasn’t and everyone started hating after seeing its flaws. What are the flaws with this and why will we hate it in 5 years? In other words, what will […]
