Noted cheater of bicycle races Lance Armstrong is made at the USC Trojans on behalf of the Texas Longhorns. Yes. You read that correctly. Lance Armstrong angry at USC. It is due to the program’s tongue-in-cheek play with numbers leading into its game against Texas. This is all about the Trojans pretending the 2006 Rose […]

The Murray State football program isn’t exactly anyone’s starting point to discuss big boy college football. The starting point for discussions surrounding coaches marrying off their players, however, and we might be on to something. ESPN has a delightful little piece up involving Murray State talent Bishop Woods, his fiancée Caitlin Myers, and offensive line coach Brian […]

The Michigan Wolverines will partner with Amazon, as well as others, to bring fans a behind-the-scenes look at the 2017 college football season. This was announced via a release. Here it is: “We are proud to partner with Amazon Prime Video in documenting our University of Michigan student-athletes’ daily experiences and the lifelong lessons learned […]

Oklahoma State Cowboys linebacker Brendan Vaughn has been arrested on a felony gun charge. The O’Colly, Oklahoma State’s student newspaper, was the first to report the news. Reportedly, he was arrested Saturday on charges of possession of a controlled and dangerous substance with intent to distribute within 2,000 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia. […]

Cal is a college football program. The Chicago Bears operate within the confines of the NFL. Each of those two things operate with a variation of a bear being their mascot. Chicago is the Bears. Cal is the Golden Bears. That is the context you need to know, as there is a bit of a […]

The Minnesota Golden Gophers are playing the weirdest game of hot-potato at the quarterback position ever. First thing is first, let’s get the actual news bit out of the way. Head coach P.J. Fleck announced that Demry Croft would be unavailable due to personal reasons. “He is dealing with some personal issues that are way, […]

The Iowa Hawkeyes have received some bad news. Iowa offensive lineman Ike Boettger received even worse. The former will be without the latter for the rest of the season, while the latter’s career with the former is probably done. Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed that Ike Boettger has been diagnosed with an Achilles tendon […]

The Big Ten Conference is playing it better safe than sorry. Despite it only being the middle of September, the league released the schedules for both the 2020 and 2021 college football seasons. Schedules for each season can be viewed here (2020) and here (2021). Not a ton of shocking games, as division teams will […]

Stick to sports! Wait … what? Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh has confirmed that Barack Obama will not be an honorary captain this year. Why is this news? Because over the summer our khaki-loving hero said he would ask Barack Obama to serve as such at some point for this season. Jim Harbaugh, who sometimes […]

Forgive the headline, as Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said a lot of things. To make sure the context is not lost right off the bat, here is exactly what he had to say about JT Barrett and the quarterback situation: “I see a mentally tough guy,” Meyer said of Barrett, as written by ESPN. […]

Kent State football coach Paul Haynes took an abrupt medial leave at the end of August. Unfortunately, it was due to him battling cancer and needing to undergo a procedure to treat prostate cancer. The cancer was discovered during a routine screening over the summer, which Haynes says may have saved his life. From the Record-Courier: […]

Losing to Liberty will make anyone do something drastic. For the Baylor Bears, it has resulted in an iffy start to the season and a decision to make a change at the quarterback position. For what it is worth, it has been interesting to see how Baylor has handled losses to both Liberty and UTSA. […]

According to a report from NJ.com, Rutgers assistant coach Jerry Kill had been hospitalized for a minor seizure suffered on Sunday morning. The good news is that his timetable to return could have happened as early as Monday, according to Rutgers head coach Chris Ash. A former coach at Minnesota, Jerry Kill has a well-documented history of suffering from […]

The USC Trojans are embracing the petty. According to the school, it has never lost to the Texas Longhorns in football. “What about the 2006 Rose Bowl?” A smart reader might ask themselves. About that … Any college football fan worth his or her own salt (if age allows it) will certainly remember that time […]

Someone was apparently offended by Baker Mayfield planting the Oklahoma flag in the middle of Ohio State’s field. How do we know this? Because the quarterback apologized for his actions on Monday. .@baker_mayfield6 apologizes for planting the flag after the win. pic.twitter.com/GABar6zchJ — Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) September 11, 2017 As far as people outside of […]

Big news for both the Cincinnati and Miami Ohio programs reared its head, as the universities announced that the series between the two football teams will continue through 2029. This rivalry extends back to 1888. Think about that for a second. The Battle for the Victory Bell was around before Michael Jordan dunked on humans. I […]

Penn State coach James Franklin not only led his team to a victory over Pitt this past weekend, but he decided to add some fuel to the in-state rivalry fire. That’s right. Now that Penn State is supposedly good, James Franklin is hurling some shade toward the general direction of the Pittsburgh Panthers. You know, […]

The East Carolina Pirates have reassigned defensive coordinator Kenwick Thompson, according to a release by the school. Unfortunately for the coach, the term “reassignment” here isn’t similar to how it is used in MLB. This is not him being sent to Triple-A baseball, but getting demoted. That’s just another really polite way of saying East Carolina […]

The Missouri Tigers were unwilling to see how things would shakeout after a few more games. The university has already dismissed defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross. Being dismissed is really just a polite way of saying DeMontie Cross was canned or fired or shown the door. The university released a statement: “I am very appreciative of […]

The latest AP Poll is out and is it ever an interesting one. What might be most notable, outside of the teams actually moving spots, is that the Clemson Tigers received a first place vote. Considering the Oklahoma Sooners received two, with the Alabama Crimson Tide receiving 58 others, it appears the pollsters have the […]

Leave it to former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Cardale Jones to not allow this Urban Meyer-Tom Herman thing to die. On Saturday, in what would eventually be an Ohio State loss, Jones poked fun at the new Texas Longhorns coach. We need that magical pixie dust on offense right about now @CoachTomHerman — Cardale Jones […]

The Georgia Bulldogs managed to get through a sloppily played game to defeat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday. It was an eventful game that changes the direction for both programs moving forward. Georgia will be looking to compete in the SEC behind head coach Kirby Smart, as the Irish are now in another […]

The Arizona State Sun Devils are apparently none too pleased with the way fans act on the mean streets of Twitter. Who could blame the school? As great as social media is for bringing people together and gathering information, it is also a cesspool of people barking up the weirdest of trees. One of the […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish lost to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday in an offensively inept game. In the most roundabout way as humanly possible, it meant that walking curmudgeon Brian Kelly was going to have to find a way to avoid accountability at all costs. Brian Kelly found that avoidance by way of belittling […]

The Washington Huskies had a rather nice Saturday. Between stomping on Montana as if it owed Washington money, to all the highlights, things couldn’t be any better after a few weeks of college football for that fan base. Dante Pettis had himself a fantastic individual Saturday, too. Not to be outdone by the crazy pick-6 […]

The LSU Tigers are a football program known for landing great recruits. Just a few months ago, Kary Vincent was one of those highly sought after recruits. The latter joined the former and it is already resulting in magic on the football field. Most reputable recruiting service outlets had Kary Vincent slotted as a top-40 […]

Washington facing Montana wasn’t exactly a must-see game. Luckily for those in attendance, or others weird enough to be watching the game at home, a Huskies defensive back summoned his inner Deion Sanders. It is a rather hard play to describe, as Washington talent Jomon Dotson was running around all over the place, so let’s enjoy […]

This kind of nonsense doesn’t even happen in Madden. Speaking of, I miss Pat Summerall calling the games in John Madden football. Anyway, let’s look at Louisiana Tech’s offense lose roughly 90 yards on a play gone horribly wrong. This play resulted in a loss of almost 90 yards. HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL? pic.twitter.com/gsD9GulNaF […]

Sam Darnold is back! I guess that means the following question should be about whether or not he’s elite, right? A week removed from not exactly looking like the touted Heisman Trophy candidate he is, Sam Darnold hurled the pigskin around the football field with relative ease on Saturday. The quarterback, who threw for four touchdowns […]

Oklahoma Sooners talent Baker Mayfield apparently holds a grudge. Last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes celebrated on Oklahoma’s field after beating the Sooners. This season, Oklahoma smacked around Ohio State, resulting in Mayfield getting his revenge. Baker Mayfield wasn’t just happy with the victory, though. He needed more than that. When the game was over, […]

The Iowa Hawkeyes managed to do the unthinkable on Saturday. With the team’s back firmly pressed against the wall, while the Iowa State Cyclones had a 10-point fourth quarter lead, the Cyclones came roaring back for the win. It was a game of complete and utter absurdity. If you thought of the Ernest P. Worrell […]

Remember Lamar Jackson? You should. It was only a few minutes ago that he made a player miss then hurled a crazy touchdown pass. About the Louisville Cardinals quarterback, he is back at it … again! This time it is on the ground, as he makes defenders miss with great ease while barely breaking a […]

Electric Louisville Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson wants your Heisman Trophy vote and he wants it this very second. On Saturday, the gunslinger managed to dodge a defender while making a Heisman-caliber touchdown pass in the process. Here is the beautiful bean footage: that defender was in perfect position for the sack and lamar jackson was […]

The Oregon Ducks are known for fancy uniforms. Thanks to the Nike connection the university has, it is with each week that a new jersey makes its way to the public. As for the latest Oregon uniform, the university has really outdone itself. Instead of solely relying on the geniuses at Nike, both the company […]

The legacy of Joe Paterno, and by extension Penn State, appears set to take yet another blow in a world after the Jerry Sandusky scandal first broke. In a report first filed by CNN, there is evidence that Joe Paterno knew years before Jerry Sandusky’s arrest that his longtime assistant might be sexually abusing children. That […]

Tim Tebow was an excellent college quarterback. His time with the Florida Gators is the stuff of legend. He is also fodder for jokes as of late. Between an iffy NFL career and his current attempt of hitting baseballs all over Single A ballparks, many get joy in poking fun at the all-around decent guy. […]

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson asked Twitter to help him help hurricane victims and the result has been amazing. Sampson has received more than what he asked for in donations and all seems well. Right? Eh. Not so much. The governing body of college sports has so much red tape strung along the landscape that […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back in the news for all the wrong reasons once again. Earlier this week, it was reported that a former player was suing the school, Brian Kelly, and many others, for allegedly hiding the results of an MRI. In turn, at least according to the lawsuit, the former Fighting […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes appreciate the Big Ten Conference television deal and all, but just not that much. One of the largest talking points for the league, at least as of late, has been the idea of wanting to add Friday night games into the schedule. Not an awful idea. One that makes sense given […]
