I never want Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield to graduate. Not because there is some weird part of me that hopes he has bad grades, but because he is the gift that keeps giving to college football. Only a few hours removed from having to listen to Iowa State players rag on him, which was […]

ESPN is eliminating the 24-hour college basketball marathon it has historically used to start each new season. Network spokesman Josh Krulewitz says the company may explore a return of the marathon concept at some point in the future. He noted that more than 3,500 college basketball games will air on ESPN’s platforms during the 2017-18 […]

According to a report, Oregon State and head football coach Gary Andersen have parted ways. The report was first broken on the mean streets of Twitter by John Canzano: BREAKING: Gary Andersen and Oregon State have parted ways. — John Canzano (@johncanzanobft) October 9, 2017 Just last week in a press conference, Gary Andersen was talking […]

ESPN radio personality, and all-around good guy, Paul Finebaum isn’t a big believe in either the Arkansas Razorbacks or head coach Bret Bielema. How do we know that? Because Paul Finebaum went absolutely bonkers when discussing Arkansas and the head coach during a radio hit on Monday. “Arkansas is a complete and total dumpster fire,” […]

USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold has come under a lot of scrutiny this season. For good reason too, as he entered the year with as much hype as any quarterback in the country. USC head coach Clay Helton probably knows this, but does not seem to care about feedback from his starting gunslinger. In response […]

Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder is no longer a young buck, but he is as respected a coach in the country as there is. It is why it comes as almost no shock that the Texas Longhorns wanted to pay tribute to the man, as he was celebrating one of his many birthdays. Texas […]

A person’s taste in style is subjective. You might like one thing that I hate and the same could be applied the other way around. With that being said, Georgia Southern will soon be wearing the best uniforms my eyeballs have ever seen. Hyperbole? Probably. It is more likely than not that this is a […]

Tennessee Volunteers defensive lineman Darrell Taylor has been suspended by head coach Butch Jones. This is after a fight broke out during the team’s practice last Thursday. The report was first broke by VolQuest. Darrell Taylor and freshman offensive lineman Trey Smith got into a scuffle at practice last Thursday. That’s the start of this entire […]

The Miami Hurricanes have suffered a pretty big loss. The team’s leading rusher, Mark Walton, is out for the season after undergoing surgery for an ankle injury. Miami head coach Mark Richt spoke on the matter and did it ever sound like football: “The team understands it’s football, it’s physical and guys get hurt,” Richt […]

Lane Kiffin is the hero we never knew we needed. The former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator, and current FAU Owls head coach, is everything that is right with college football, even if that is actually unintentional. What people might most remember about Kiffin the last few years was his iffy relationship with Nick Saban. Nick […]

With Wilton Speight on the shelf, the Michigan Wolverines had to rely on backup quarterback John O’Korn on Saturday. Things didn’t exactly go well for the young man. More on that later, but first… John O’Korn is apparently a huge fan of basketball. More specfically, a certain niche area of the game. Something specialized once […]

The good news isn’t coming to Ann Arbor anytime soon. According to a somewhat random line coming out of ABC’s pregame broadcast, it was reported that Michigan Wolverines quarterback Wilton Speight is likely out for the season after suffering three broken vertebrae. ESPN’s Chris Fowler first reported Wilton Speight’s injury at the top of ABC’s […]

Ole Miss has apparently had enough of the tomfoolery. After the team got walloped on Saturday, a job opening for the head coaching position at the school was posted online. This isn’t a joke. This was posted by the actual school (or, unless, hacked). The official job listing for the position to replace interim coach Matt Luke […]

This isn’t going to be fun, as people are going to go bonkers one way or another with this, all depending on what side of the fandom allegiance fence they are on. Anyway, the Iowa State Cyclones had some fun at the cost of Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield after the former upset the latter […]

The Arizona Wildcats are a program that seems to be in question in regards to the FBI’s probing around the sport. The program is not, however, the only entity close to campus directly impacted by the feds dropping in. Jahvon Quinerly, one of the nation’s top 2018 recruits and an Arizona commit, is a player reportedly […]

Hopefully you have a sibling who loves you as much as Western Michigan tight end Donnie Ernsberger’s sister loves him. I know this does not yet make sense, but it will in a quick minute. On Saturday, a beautiful day to spend time with your loved ones, Donnie Ernsberger scored a touchdown in overtime on behalf of […]

Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate entered Saturday with only 86 yards coming on the ground, on just 10 carries, this season. Those numbers don’t exactly set some sort of great qualifier or predictor of what would happen when Saturday was all said and done. Khalil Tate, that guy we just wrote about barely running around this season, […]

Nick Saban is one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time. There’s little debating that, especially after he has turned the Alabama Crimson Tide to some weird version of John Wooden’s UCLA basketball program, but instead of scoring buckets, Nick Saban’s players commit acts of violence for our entertainment. Anyway, Alabama had been rolling […]

The Miami Hurricanes not only defeated the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday, but decided to bring back some of that “The U” swag when it was all said and done. With the clock hitting zero, and the Hurricanes upending the Seminoles 24-20, some Miami fans decided to party like it was 1999 all over Florida […]

Down its starting quarterback and on the road, the Iowa State Cyclones did the unthinkable. The team managed to upset the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma is clearly overrated and are now very obviously washed. OK. We kid. However, you just know that is going to be the reaction to the loss. Hell has no fury like […]

Penn State talent Saquon Barkley was having a rough go of it on Saturday. The key part of that last sentence was the emphasis we should acknowledge in its tense, as he “was” having a rough go of it. He no longer is. Saquon Barkley had -1 rushing yards during the first quarter of the team’s […]

UAB is doing something earnestly awesome for the kids. The football team will don uniforms that will feature names of kids not actually on the roster. Instead, each player will have a name on their back that is actually that of a sick child from a hospital. This past week UAB revealed that the jerseys […]

Jon Gruden remains a name that is linked to nearly every coaching vacancy on the planet. In this Internet Scribbler’s opinion, if he were not on Monday Night Football each week, these sorts of hyperbolic claims surrounding the coach would never even happen. Fame is often greater than fit or talent. Jon Gruden hasn’t coached […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas A&M Aggies are set to do figurative battle this weekend. You, my friend, are here to gather concerning information for that game. Specifically, what are the betting odds, TV schedule and live stream information for Alabama vs Texas A&M. We’re friends. Thanks to that, we will remove ourselves from […]

The West Virginia Mountaineers and TCU Horned Frogs are set to do figurative battle this weekend. You, my friend, are here to gather concerning information for that game. Specifically, what are the betting odds, TV schedule and live stream information for West Virginia vs TCU. We’re friends. Thanks to that, we will remove ourselves from […]

The Rhode Island Rams plan on its run of excellence to go beyond the few year stretch of greatness it is currently on. To help this happen, the announcement by 4-star talent Jermaine Harris that he will play for the Rams in college, couldn’t have come at a better time. A member of the 2018 […]

Louisville has announced that the only two remaining assistant coaches on the staff in the era of Rick Pitino, Jordan Fair and Kenny Johnson, have been placed on paid administrative leave as the school continues to investigate their involvement in allegations made in last week’s FBI complaint. Jordan Fair had been with the program for […]

The North Carolina State Wolfpack have made some nose on the recruiting trail, as the program has landed 4-star prospect Ian Steere. A member of the 2018 recruiting class, the 6-foot-9 Ian Steere was previously committed to Creighton, but he opted out of the commitment recently to play closer to his native North Carolina. As is […]

Iowa State Cyclones starting quarterback Jacob Park is taking a leave of absence from the team. This, according to The Des Moines Register, is due to “unspecified medical concerns.” Park did not travel with the rest of the team as they prepare for a road game against the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners. “Jacob is a great young […]

Rebel The Bear must have had a solid 401k, as the Ole Miss mascot is set to retire. Although, if we are to be slightly more accurate about it, it appears as though those on campus at the university might be a bit fickle when it comes to these kind of things. MagnoliaStateLive.com obtained a letter […]

The Georgia Bulldogs are going to head into the weekend as happy as that time The Little Mermaid was able to trot about land for the first time. The No. 1 dual threat quarterback in the entire country, Justin Fields, has committed to play for the program. Rivals was the first to break the incredible […]

First-year Oklahoma State Cowboys coach Mike Boynton has many tough challenges ahead of him. It might be something that was left behind for him — by someone else, of all things — that might end up being his biggest hurdle. With the FBI probing all over college basketball, and Oklahoma State having to fire an assistant […]

The Louisville Cardinals basketball program isn’t exactly having the greatest run as of late. Despite that, interim head coach David Padgett believes things are starting to return to form. “We’re returning to some sense of normalcy,” Padgett said Wednesday, as written by the AP, “and we’re getting there because we’ve been able to practice and […]

Rick Pitino can continue to be defiant. Rick Pitino can claim both ignorance and innocence. But what the effectively fired Louisville Cardinals coach can’t do is prevent the flood of news coming out that continues to paint him in the most awful of lights. According to a report, the (again) effectively fired Louisville Cardinals coach […]

The best advice I could ever give someone is that working with and/or for family is an awful idea. Patrick McCaffery apparently does not care what I believe is the greatest life lesson bestowed upon me, as the 4-star prospect has committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes and father, Fran McCaffery. Patrick McCaffery is a member […]

The SMU Mustangs once had a great college football program. It was so good, in fact, most people realized something evil must have been up. There was and the governing body of college sports gave them the death penalty for it. History is history, though. The past is in the past for a reason. And […]

Despite having the most electric college quarterback since Michael Vick, the Louisville Cardinals already have two losses to their record this season. In a roundabout way, with the FBI probe looming over the basketball program, this could spell doom for Bobby Petrino. Thing is, just not in the way some are thinking about it. Bobby […]

The Oklahoma Sooners will be donning some new uniforms this weekend. As per the rule of uniform law, they are straight fire. Enough of the small talk. Let’s skip dinner and go straight to the bedroom. Here are these uniforms. Saturday, for the first time, #RedOnRed! #BuiltDifferent #OUDNA pic.twitter.com/5dXNQ8KyiP — Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) October 5, […]

Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is human. I know it is incredibly hard to believe that, as the guy appears to be more robot than a member of our species, but it has to be true. Well, at least we think it has to be true. Anyway, Nick Saban recently discussed using a childhood […]
