Week 5 of the 2017 college football season began and ended with a bang in a weekend full of surprises. Here are the highs and lows of a fun weekend in the NCAA, especially for USC, LSU, Clemson, Georgia, and Tennessee: Highs 1. Clemson looks unstoppable The Clemson Tigers entered the 2017 season loaded with […]

Illinois is making a chance at quarterback. Son of legendary gunslinger Jeff George, Jeff George Jr. is getting a chance to make a name for himself from this point moving forward. Lovie Smith recently confirmed the move and this will likely be a welcomed sight to Illinois fans. Many remember the parental George as a […]

The Tennessee Volunteers have fired head football coach Butch Jones after only four and a half seasons. Bob Shoop will take over as the interim head coach. Update: This was a hoax by the below Twitter user, who previously had his profile to look as though he was a prominent media member. BREAKING: Butch Jones […]

Washington football coach Chris Petersen is not to pleased with the start time to the team’s games this season. So much so, in fact, he has apologized to numerous people on behalf of the folk who designed the schedule. “I just want to say something to our fans: We apologize for these late games. And […]

Last weekend, San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny was poked in the eye at the bottom of a scrum. The NIU defender appeared to do so on purpose, but has since apologized. Rashaad Penny, being a bigger person than I can ever be, has accepted the apology. Before we go the words, here is […]

Sean Kugler left his post as head coach of UTEP after the team started the season off as woefully as humanly possible. To replace him, Mike Price — yes, that one — is returning to the university to fill the void. “I’ve asked Mike if he could help us in this situation,” athletic director Bob […]

LSU Tigers offensive lineman Toby Weathersby has heard some people’s complaints about the team’s ineptness. Rather than brushing off that noise to the wayside, he has offered to fistfight critics. Here he is, via the mean streets of Twitter of course, making the offer: The screengrab is presented because we presume it has since been […]

No. 8 Michigan Wolverines have yet to know what it feels like to lose a game this season, but they will now be forced to learn how to handle playing without their starting quarterback. Wilton Speight is gone the way of the dinosaurs. Well, at least for a little bit. Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh told […]

Luke Del Rio might have found himself some company on the sidelines when the Florida Gators host the LSU Tigers this Saturday in Gainesville. Gators wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland is questionable to play in that game with a high ankle sprain according to head coach Jim McElwain on Monday, per Jordan McPherson of SEC Country. […]

The coaching staff of the Oregon Ducks is in an unenviable position of having to decide swiftly on who to start under center while quarterback Justin Herbert recovers from a collarbone injury for approximately four to six weeks. Justin Herbert sustained the injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s win over the California Golden Bears while […]

Five New Mexico football players took a knee during the national anthem this past weekend. According to the team’s head coach, Bob Davie, this took him by surprise. This will undoubtedly result in more people getting angry. While some have been trying to explain the protest for what it is — and, it is worth […]

In an absolutely not at all shocking development, scandalous Louisville Cardinals football coach Bobby Petrino would like it if the school did not fire currently embroiled in scandal AD Tom Jurich. All. The. Giggles. “I can’t say enough about what he’s meant to me and my family,” Petrino said of Jurich after his team’s 55-10 […]

Tennessee Volunteers head coach Butch Jones was already on a form of the hot-seat heading into Saturday, but now he might be falling off it. Hell, if you look close enough, you can see the burn holes in his pants. Saturday’s 41-0 shutout loss to Georgia — the program’s worse since 1981 — isn’t going […]

San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny might be the best player in the nation you never heard of. On Saturday, he rushed for 107 yards and caught three passes for 33 more and a touchdown, but that wasn’t the biggest story heading out of SDSU’s victory over Northern Illinois. It was that Rashaad Penny […]

We have said it before, but we will say it a billion times if need be. Michigan Wolverines coach, and Judge Judy superfan, Jim Harbaugh is the gift that won’t stop giving. There are a trillion examples of him doing things that are either newsworthy to the sport he coaches or just so insane that […]

Well, that was fast. After getting named as the Florida Gators’ starting quarterback earlier this week, Luke Del Rio picked up a season-ending collarbone injury on Saturday. This isn’t great for Jim McElwain and company. Especially not after literally just making the change at the position. Luke Del Rio hurt his shoulder while getting off […]

Saquon Barkley is emerging as a Heisman Trophy favorite right in front of our very eyeballs. The electric Penn State talent, who is quickly becoming must-see television, is already making splashes on Saturday. How so? How about returning Penn State’s opening kickoff return for a touchdown? Does that work for you, friend? https://twitter.com/Schutte_B1GFB/status/914212122795667458 Saquon Barkley […]

We had our 4th-and-93 a few weeks back. It spoiled us. Still, the Temple Owls are going to try like hell to top it. On Saturday, a day of love and freedom (or something), Temple was forced to punt on — wait for it — 4th-and-goal. Here is the footage of the wondrous event that […]

Some really unfortunate news is coming out of the Purdue Boilermakers football family. Joe Tiller, whose career at Purdue could certainly be described as legendary, passed a little before 7 a.m. Saturday morning. He was 74-years-old. The university confirmed the death by way of Twitter. We are saddened to report that Joe Tiller has passed […]

Penn State will don what it calls Generations of Greatness uniforms this weekend. You can save whatever jokes you want for somewhere else, because if you’re able to put some emotional responses to the wayside, you will realize these are fire. Does that not move your soul to its very foundation? Do the Generations of […]

Remember when USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold was considered all that and a bag of chips? Of course you do. His potential Heisman hype has been jammed down our throats for slightly less than a year at this point. About that potential to be one of the finalists in New York around the end of […]

Specifically, what are the betting odds, TV schedule and live stream information for Mississippi State vs Auburn. We’re friends. Thanks to that, we will remove ourselves from the […]

Specifically, what are the betting odds, TV schedule and live stream information for Georgia vs Tennessee. We’re friends. Thanks to that, we will remove ourselves from the semantics and […]

In what is considered a shocking moment of human emotions turned into thought, Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban had a few words on the protests happening throughout sports. They are more well-balanced than you would think, though they are by no means Nick Saban taking a huge leap by saying something crazy. Still, credit […]

The FBI is going to leave a wake of destruction in college sports by the time it is all said and done. The feds are going to be able to do this, at least largely, because shoe companies are trying like hell to have power in the realm of unpaid labor. A thing not shocking […]

Context matters. As does tone in a person’s voice and even if the words used were meant literally. Unfortunately for Miami Hurricanes talent Malek Young, rather than providing a kid with the benefit of the doubt, we are more likely to assume the worst. Also, he didn’t leave a lot of breathing room. Malek Young […]

Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer has apparently hit the portion of his career when mincing words is no longer needed. In the wake of the FBI inserting itself firmly in the realm of college basketball, potentially altering the sport forever, Urban Meyer has gone off on coaches who cheat. From the Columbus Dispatch: I always […]

Clemson Tigers coach Dabo Swinney used to play football for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Still, maybe the coach should be a little less honest when talking about the idea of replacing Nick Saban when the current Bama coach retires. In what will surely get a lot of attention, Dabo Swinney will not rule out replacing […]

Peyton Manning and Brett Favre will be both attending the same college football game this weekend. This is not a shocker, as the Tennessee Volunteers are set to do battle with Georgia. The reasons both are going, however, happen to be pretty different. For Peyton Manning, he is a strong supporter of Tennessee football. Having […]

The Iowa State Cyclones might not exactly have the uniform style of the Oregon Ducks, but the football program is about to debut some pretty sweet helmets. Enough of this talking tomfoolery. You did not enter this post to read words of some handsome Internet Scribbler. You came here to witness the new “Cyclone” helmet […]

Blame realignment for rivalries that made logistical sense going the way of the dinosaur. Do not, however, blame students at Texas for anything that involved wanting to play Texas A&M. Those kids are trying like all heck to get that in-state brethren battle reignited. In fact, the student body at Texas has voted to reinstate […]

The Tennessee Volunteers remain a fixture in college football news. The latest coming out of the program is concerning running back John Kelly, who would apparently like to play some defensive back as well. “I’m telling you, I know I can do it {play DB},” Kelly told The All-American. “I’ve been asking since I was a freshman. […]

Tim Tebow is a lot of things to a lot of different people. Some think he didn’t receive a fair shake in the NFL. Others believe he was continuously given too many chances just because he was Tim Tebow. Either way, he’s about to enter the Hall of Fame. No. No. Not that one, silly. […]

The Louisville Cardinals are currently in the middle of a rather historic scandal on the college basketball side of things. However, its impact might soon be felt in the land of college football. According to a report revealed by WDRB-TV in late February of 2014, Bobby Petrino has a buyout that would be $8.5 million if he were to […]

The felony charges won’t stop coming for Florida defensive lineman Jordan Smith. After having an absurd 18 third-degree felony charges levied against him previously this week, the Gainesville Police Department has recommended four additional charges to be tacked on. That’s unfortunate, obviously. If charged with four more felonies, it obviously doesn’t mean Jordan Smith would be convicted of […]

Conference realignment ravaged tradition in both college football and basketball. The Big East had to reform under its Catholic Seven foundation, the AAC was born out of football greed, and we no longer have leagues abiding by logical regional standards. All of that, it might be happening again. In a column for CBS Sports — […]

The last thing the Baylor Bears wanted to hear as they struggle early in the season is one of their best players getting injured. However, that’s exactly the card they were dealt after head coach Matt Rhule announced that wide receiver Chris Platt’s season is likely done for the year. This is according to the […]

Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh is the gift that keeps giving. Between giving political opinions to telling things how he sees it, if nothing else, he is at least honest. He is also not too thrilled about a hit that happened last weekend. Jim Harbaugh says it was an “egregious” hit that injured Wilton Speight […]
