With the Massachusetts’ arrival in the MAC next season, Bowling Green will move over to the West division while UMass enters in theEast. In the MAC East: Akron, Buffalo, Kent State, UMass, Miami (Ohio) and […]

Bowl games are weird animals. The stakes are relative for their participants. So often the outcome hinges on motivation. The coaching carousel can throw teams out of whack as well, too. Even so, bowl game records tend to be a fallback at this time of year for measuring conference strength. (Why everyone cares about conference strength […]

We’ve all watched those games where, if it wasn’t for the scoreboard we’d automatically all know who was winning and assume it was by a fair amount. Then when you do see the score your shocked to have your world basically flipped upside down because the total opposite is true. That was last night’s Allstate […]

You wanted No. 1 versus No. 2? Well you got it…that is if you love the NFL Draft as much as I do. Luck (No. 1) versus Blackmon (No. 2)? Oklahoma State, possibly feeling jilted out of an opportunity to play for a national championship, remained focused at the task at hand; the Tositos Fiesta […]

Somewhere deep down inside the Georgia Bulldogs resides one of the best teams in college football. You don’t have to be an expert to see it. They definitely look like an elite team coming off the bus. When they’re actually out on the field playing, you can catch glimpses of it occasionally. But, to put […]

Neither Florida nor Ohio State had created much offensive fireworks in a disappointing season for both former champions. Everyone knew Troy Smith, Ted Ginn, Tim Tebow or Percy Harvin were not stepping onto the field to save this year’s TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl contest between two former college football powerhouses. Today’s game in Jacksonville certainly suggests […]

Tom Bradley took his headset off with under a minute to play in the 2012 TicketCity Bowl, with his Nittany Lions trailing 30-14 and unable to prevent the inevitable. It may have been the last time Bradley, a long time face inside the Penn State football program, put on Penn State blue and white on […]
