Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh is a lot of a things. A good football coach, a lover of Judge Judy, and a guy who isn’t afraid to speak his mind when it comes to polarizing topics. Oh. Hello there, Donald Trump. Jim Harbaugh had some stern advice for the 45th President of the United States […]

Oklahoma Sooners gunslinger Baker Mayfield is the gift that keeps on giving. Also, apparently, he is Baylor’s biological father. Yup. Let’s get this started properly. Here is video of him telling the Bears that he is indeed their father. Baker Mayfield to Baylor players pregame: "You forgot who daddy is. I’m gonna have to spank […]

There’s savvy shopping, then there’s taking a risk for a potential large payoff down the road. For a USC Trojans fan on Saturday, he fell somewhere in the middle. Although, if we’re being honest at the risk of being a jerk, there’s no real actual payoff to this. A fan was caught displaying a Sam […]

The North Carolina Tar Heels will not visit the White House. The Tar Heels were invited to visit, as is the custom for teams that win college men’s basketball and football national championships, but a team spokesperson said they will not go for the trip. The Charlotte Observer reported the story. Roy Williams, UNC’s head coach, […]

A squirrel scored a touchdown on Saturday as the announcers called the play with the sort of passion Jim Ross would be jealous of. And here’s to ledes I never believed would be written. On Saturday, during Louisville facing Kent State, the Cardinals were up 21-0. Then, as they say, a squirrel just had to […]

Ohio State Buckeyes gunslinger JT Barrett was coming under a lot of fire this week. Some, the uneducated, believed it to be time for Urban Meyer to bench the electric talent. Those people are dopes. Anyway, here is JT Barrett dropping a dime during Ohio State’s game against UNLV on Saturday: Nice. pic.twitter.com/7IyLfzNxyC — Tony […]

Lee Corso has taken his gimmick to the next level. On Saturday, while ESPN College Gameday was trotting about Times Square, our mascot-decapitator friend decided it was time to don the gear worn by Lady Liberty herself. That’s right, Uncle Lee Corso became — magically — the Statue of Liberty. Again, the Statue of Liberty. […]

The UCF Knights are taking its brand of football to space! Or, uh, something like that. The university has announced that it will have a Space Game in honor of the university’s long-time ties to the United States space program. The Oct. 14 Homecoming game vs. East Carolina will now feature many connections to the space […]

What were you doing at the wonderful age of 17? You were unlikely starting at quarterback for Old Dominion as they entered a game against Virginia Tech on Saturday. That much, I feel pretty confident in making a blanket statement about. Steven Williams is a quarterback who played in the second half last weekend. He performed […]

The Michigan Wolverines are making a mark on the recruiting trail. 4-star talent out of the 2018 recruiting class, Ignas Brazdeikis, has committed to the program. A forward, he made his announcement on the mean streets of Twitter. In his post, he thanked god and family, as well as people who directly supported his development as […]

The sort in which you will now have the betting odds for the event, as well as the TV schedule and live stream information. Let’s get those semantics out of the way […]

The mean streets of Twitter are not for everyone. Kevin Durant recently learned this, as he was busted for using fake accounts to defend himself. Josh Allen didn’t need to learn it, as he took a more preemptive strike. If you’re unaware of that entire Durant situation: Our unicorn of a basketball player, the likely […]

Some Big 12 action is going to hit the nation’s picture-box this weekend, as the TCU Horned Frogs are set to do battle with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. It is exciting times for both programs, as they are each attempting to continue with already solid starts to the season. Anyway, you are likely here because […]

Paul Finebaum is something to behold. I don’t know for what reason or purpose, but people seem to really like the guy. Who am I to blame them? Anyway, the man with a radio show known to tout the SEC as the best thing since sliced-bread, is now changing his tune. Well, just a little […]

Geno Auriemma is one of the best basketball coaches in the history of the sport. No, you. There are no caveats about him coaching the women’s game needed. His genius knows no bounds. Anyway, the UConn coach was recently forced to publicly comment after promoting the school’s fight against more than $300 million in cuts to […]

No one wants to be blamed for anything Kevin Sumlin related, apparently. Former Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman is attempting like all hell to wash his hands of Sumlin’s contract extension. You know, the one that happened on his watch. He told Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he almost had zero things to do with the […]

Kansas State fans likely feel as though they have reason to be upset this week. During the team’s against Vanderbilt, a touchdown was called back by the officials. As it currently sits, the SEC and Big 12 comment that they will make no comments regarding the review of the play. Let’s get the semantics out […]

Emoni Bates is a basketball player. He’s also only 13-years-old. There are a lot of kids his age who play the shooty hoops. However, there is a monumental difference between him and my nephew down the road. Emoni Bates is having his basketball journey being told by the AP. Again, he is 13. He’s probably […]

The Oregon Ducks have been making a splash in the realm of college basketball for years. It is why it should come as almost no shock that it just landed a top-tier prospect on the recruiting trail. 2018 recruiting class talent, Louis King, has decided to go Mighty Ducks and commit to Oregon. Get it? […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have an abundance of money. How do we know this? Easy. The university will spend over a million real-life dollars to buy a game with Western Michigan. That’s right. According to people who do the entire buy-game market thing, Western Michigan going to South Bend is valued at $1.175 million. To […]

The NCAA has approved a replacement game for the UCF Knights. The university needed to fill the void on the schedule left in the wake of Hurricane Irma. In fact, the program lost two home games due to the hurricane, one against Georgia Tech and a contest against Maine that was bought out as a […]

Apparently, some people are not too thrilled with Tennessee Volunteers head coach Butch Jones. So much so, a fan decided to make an entire song about him getting fired. Let’s cut through the chase. First thing we will do is leave the lyrics of the song right below this, followed by the actual musical genius […]

Nebraska has fired Athletic Director Shawn Eichors. The news was broken on the mean streets of Twitter by way of Bruce Feldman. Also according to Feldman, the school will look to fill that position immediately. This is coming right off our last check with the program, when Shawn Eichors was going through every emotion possible, even somewhat […]

The Missouri Tigers are apparently already at the point in the season when players decide to take it upon themselves to produce results. According to a report, which you should read in full, the Tigers have already done a players-only meeting. It is not even October. For those unaware, players-only type meetings are usually reserved […]

Washington State football coach Mike Leach is a gift from whatever god(s) you worship. Here is a man who discusses, in length, Big Foot and aliens. Wait … what? Don’t worry. We will circle all the way back to that. As for his latest entry into the world of the weird, it appears Mike Leach […]

Do you young kids even know who Burt Reynolds is? Not just the man, but the myth and legend? Eh, whatever. Here is a video of Burt Reynolds talking about the last game he played for the Florida State Seminoles. To be Camp Crystal Lake clear: I much rather hear him talk about his other […]

Here is to having no idea how to handle this without making jokes. BYU will now be allowing caffeine sodas on campus. End column. I kid! To be serious, this is a shocking announcement by the school. Brigham Young University saying it would begin selling caffeinated sodas on campus is like the Pope saying aliens […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will do battle with the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Furthermore, the game will be broadcasted on normal television as well as virtual reality. Before we go on to give you the details of the TV schedule, betting odds, and live stream, let’s quickly touch on the virtual reality aspect […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face the Michigan State Spartans this weekend. Oh, not only in real life, but also in virtual reality. Yes. Yes. That is all very confusing. Let me clear it up for you. Fox Sports plans on airing the game in virtual reality. You know, a place in the world […]

The Memphis Tigers have had a rather rough offseason. Tubby Smith has lost talented players to transfer, heard the scorn of the fan base, and some are starting to think he doesn’t belong coaching the program. The last part of that conversation will forever haunt the Memphis basketball program. A lot of people would like […]

Syracuse Orange talent Dominick Parker has been accused of sexual assault. An 18-year-old player, he was only added to the roster 12 days ago as a walk-on. According to a report, he was arrested on Friday and charged with sexual abuse in the first degree. Syracuse.com was first to report the story. The university has […]

Big 12 basketball programs finally have a reason to smile. Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self, who has held a stranglehold on the league for over a decade, is pondering retirement. That idea of retirement? He is considering hanging up the whistle far earlier than you think. Speaking with ESPN.com reporter Myron Medcalf, Bill Self mentioned […]

The Indiana Hoosiers might not be known as a college football powerhouse, but the program does have some solid history behind it. Terry Hoeppner, who previously coached at the school, is certainly part of that history. His story goes beyond football. The university plans to honor that story this weekend. In what will seem subtle […]

People are constantly talking about the NFL’s ratings these days. For whatever the reason, and everyone has their own opinion as to why, the numbers have dipped. For college football, however, that discussion has yet to leak to the sport. That might change now, though that conversion may appear slightly different. The Iowa Hawkeyes are […]

Football is inherently violent. There’s no way to describe the game as something other than people smashing other people over and over again. Predominantly, that sort of smashing is done when one player is using his head to make contact with another. In the modern age of college football, there’s leading with your head, then […]

Penn State coach James Franklin is probably coaching the best roster he’s had since leaving Vanderbilt for the program. Despite that, he’s come under some fire recently for (maybe) icing a kicker during a Penn State blowout victory over Georgia State. Oddly enough, James Franklin has heard your gripes and he has decided to deny […]

Some really tragic news coming out of Division II football. Robert Grays, a Midwestern State University football player, passed away Tuesday. Grays sustained a serious neck injury attempting to make a tackle during Midwestern State’s last game against Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday. After initially being taken to a local hospital in Wichita Falls, he was […]

Sports can be weird. Ohio safety Javon Hagan apparently being an expert towel thief is one of the most recent examples of all of this being so. Wait … what? That’s right. Javon Hagan is a fan of stealing towels. Not hotel towels. Not team towels. But the towels being draped around opposing players’ bodies. […]
