Earlier in the week I got a chance to talk about my favorite player for this season, the one and only Stephen Garcia, quarterback of the South Carolina Gamecocks. While SG will only be around for one more year, I’ve picked something a bit more timeless as my favorite offensive scheme. In this age of college football that has […]
There are lots of opinions out there on college football, but not all are created equal. If there’s one you should take more seriously than the rest, it’s the collective wisdom of the oddsmakers. Todd Fuhrman, race and sports analyst with Caesars Entertainment Corp. in Las Vegas, weighs in with the answers to “Five Burning […]

Indiana football has a culture of losing. Nine bowl appearances in the entirety of their football history. A whopping two Big Ten championships since 1896. None since 1967. In their rivalry game, Indiana has been thoroughly dominated by Purdue in the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. In fact, no coach since the first term […]

The news that the Oklahoma Sooners’ All-World senior linebacker Travis Lewis will miss the next eight weeks with a broken toe has sent the college football world into a tizzy. And if you have any co-workers who are OU fans, don’t be shocked if they head home sick for the afternoon. When you lose the cornerstone […]
