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. […]

This is your random reminder that the stars attached to a kid’s name out of high school doesn’t inherently mean success awaits. Byron Cowart, a defensive tackle and former No. 1 recruit out of the 2015 class, requested and was granted his release from the Auburn Tigers. “I’m happy with my decision and I know that […]

Tom Herman must love himself some New York Yankees, as the Texas Longhorns coach used one of the more dated references available to him to discuss Shane Buechele’s current situation. Backing up a bit, Shane Buechele got injured during the team’s opening game of the season. At the time, Herman said that when he was healthy, he […]

The Oklahoma Sooners are a fine football program. Let’s preface this entire post with that, as we are about to have some fun at the university’s expense. Details of first-year head coach Lincoln Riley’s contract have emerged. While he isn’t exactly making Bob Stoops type of money, nor should he be (yet), he has some […]

The Heisman Trophy is the top individual honor in college football. Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, as well as some others, are the top players in the sport. As it often is with the name-brand talent near the top, overreaction to each week of college football is a must. According to the latest odds coming out […]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Even heavier? The college football coach who put colleagues on blast for making excuses, but then hurls an entire position under the bus. Oh, hello there, Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer. As you may recall, Meyer took some digs at other football coaches recently. It was […]

The Auburn Tigers have apparently decided taking some moral high ground is important in 2017. Shortly after being arrested for public intoxication, quarterback Sean White has been dismissed by the Auburn football program. Originally, the Tigers went in the usual “we need more facts” mode. “Coach [Gus Malzahn] is aware of the situation,” an Auburn spokesman told AL.com. […]

Not so great news coming out of the Michigan football program. The Wolverines had a tremendous talent at the receiver position with Tarik Black running routes as if he made them himself. Unfortunately, the keyword in that previous sentences happens to be “had.” Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh has announced that the receiver has suffered a cracked […]

UTEP fired an offensive coordinator over the weekend. The program announced that Brent Pease had been shown the door. That’s the bad. The good? The university had the solid fortune of being able to look in-house for Pease’s replacement. That guy is Brian Natkin. There was good reason to let Pease go, for what it is […]

Last most of the country saw Oregon State quarterback Jake Luton, he was being stretchered off a football field. That’s the awful, if not completely insane context for the upcoming news. Luton, who was forced into the hospital for the injury, has since been discharged from it, according to The Oregonian. The gunslinger’s father did post […]

Is Deebo Samuel actually gone the way of the dinosaurs? Of course not. He’s not extinct. The South Carolina Gamecocks running back, however, will miss a lot action, according to head coach Will Muschamp. “We are not certain when he’s coming back. I don’t want to comment much on the status part of it,” Muschamp […]

The Arkansas Razorbacks have a rather famous former student in Jerry Jones. The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who is as famous for his off-the-field tomfoolery as he is for football things, is about to be honored by the university. It isn’t only that the school plans on honoring the man. Arkansas is going to […]

BYU isn’t exactly a school known for crazy party people. Wisconsin is also a fine school. The two got together on Saturday, but prior to the festivities of violence starting, a few members of the human species nearly got themselves killed. For one reason or another, fans decided to fall from the skies and onto […]

The Nebraska Cornhuskers might not be that good at football. The school’s athletic director, however, is pretty awesome at explaining how he’s currently going through every human emotional response known to mankind. To get the details out of the way first, Nebraska lost to Northern Illinois on Saturday. That is not good. Nebraska athletic director […]

Imagine a world when you wake up a day after a quarterback tossed it for over 300 yards, with three touchdowns to just one interception, and thinking that gunslinger is awful. That is a world many people have decided to inhabit. It is a dumb world. Lamar Jackson led Louisville as best he can against […]

San Diego State upset Stanford on Saturday evening. Most would think that would be the biggest story coming out of that game, but it is actually playing second fiddle to something far more ridiculous. Toward the end of the event, as San Diego State was on a drive to pull off the upset, the lights […]

The UCLA Bruins did battle with the Memphis Tigers on Saturday. The result of the game is as baffling an outcome as there could possible be. That’s the roundabout way of saying, you know, Memphis upset UCLA. All the points were scored in this game. All. Of. Them. The Tigers beat the Bruins, 48-45. This […]

Send video of the first-half of Pitt playing against Oklahoma State to the aliens. They need to understand what is happening here. Furthermore, someone needs to help us better understand. Maybe the aliens’ advanced technology can help us figure out what in the heck Pitt is even trying on Saturday. For those unaware, at the […]

The Kansas Jayhawks football program will never be confused with one of the greats. It isn’t exactly the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, even when Brian Kelly is up in South Bend belittling humans while losing games. I don't even know what this is. #kufball pic.twitter.com/lyNPWOsRmD — Scott Chasen (@ChasenScott) September 16, 2017 Oh. My. Dear. […]

Huge news is breaking in the realm of college football. Clemson Tigers college football coach Dabo Swinney has been outed as a huge fan of Nickelback. As if playing the Louisville Tigers on Saturday night isn’t bad enough, as Swinney needs to worry about Lamar Jackson, he now has to deal with this fallout. https://twitter.com/BarstoolCards/status/909058919787630592 […]

As if the Louisville Cardinals facing the Clemson Tigers is not already going to be all sorts of fun, a UL fanatic decided to go not-level prior to the two teams meeting on Saturday evening. At ESPN’s College Gameday, said fan was holding up a sign, as fans at that event tend to do. However, […]

The Minnesota Golden Gophers will be going with the sweetest of sweet all gold uniforms for its game this weekend. Take a look at these bad boys: All Gold Everything👌#Gophers #SkiUMah #RTB pic.twitter.com/ob6qaDGklk — Minnesota Football (@GopherFootball) September 16, 2017 Those are nice. The Golden Gophers did make some news earlier in the week that […]

The Tennessee Volunteers are going to be without Todd Kelly this weekend. According to a report by SECCountry, the leading tackler last season for the Vols will not play Saturday at Florida. But wait, it gets even worse, as the senior safety may miss the remainder of the season on account of a potential season-ending knee […]

People mostly think of FAU football coach Lane Kiffin as a running gag. Between jokes on social media to some of his own doing, it is why the reaction to our “root for Lane Kiffin” piece wasn’t too shocking. Still, there’s some human left in his bones, like him or not. The football team was […]

How do you feel? I hope well, but that is only because you’re going to feel sick for the rest of your day after this. Former NFL executive, and current ESPN talker, Bill Polian was on the radio. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. Polian, often praised for being a football genius, believes Louisville Cardinals quarterback, […]

One of the hardest things service schools need to overcome is any type of turnover. That’s for both on-the-field play as well as who is coaching the teams. Whenever a coach, assistant or head, begins to have any form of success at one of those programs, others are quick to try to poach them. It […]

The Michigan Wolverines are going to be a happy group for some time moving forward. Not only does the school have the best khaki-wearing coach in the country, but the university’s board of regents just decided that a near $15 million upgrade to the football team’s performance center was in order. You hear that? That […]

Nebraska Cornhuskers fans have been rather angry over the newly released Big Ten schedule. Some traditional scheduling regulars, such as the team’s Black Friday event that takes place after Thanksgiving, appears gone the way of the dinosaurs. Not so fast my friend, but more on that in a second. Fans have been so angry that […]

The FIU Golden Panthers were one of the many college football programs that had its schedule altered thanks to Hurricane Irma. The team’s game against the Indiana Hoosiers is cancelled this weekend, leaving a void in the schedule. Hello there, UMass. The Minutemen will take Indiana’s place on the docket for FIU. It is important […]

You have to be careful when transcribing Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban these days. He’s become somewhat self-aware, often saying things with his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek. Other times, however, he tells it how he sees it. It doesn’t make him right, or wrong for that matter, but there’s clearly a tipping […]

Netflix’s Last Chance U turned a lot of football players, who were previously afterthoughts, into endearing figures. As news come out on Thursday, however, it isn’t as appealing as it once was. Isaiah Wright and Camion Patrick have been arrested. According to numerous reports, Camion Patrick and Isaiah Wright are among four men charged in connection with […]

Life can come at us fast. It was only a few hours ago that reports broke that Brendan Vaughn was arrested for a felony drug charge. Now the Oklahoma State talent has been dismissed by the school. Reportedly, he was arrested Saturday on charges of possession of a controlled and dangerous substance with intent to […]

Along with the millions of people who had their lives altered by Hurricane Irma, football programs like the Florida Gators have also had some issue since the awful weather hit. This isn’t lost on anybody. No political stance, fan affiliation, or whatever other tomfoolery, is preventing any sane person from hoping for the best for […]

Football takes a back seat when something like this happens, as it should. Florida Atlantic quarterback De’Andre Johnson didn’t travel with the team to play Wisconsin last week. At the time, people in charge at FAU didn’t give an exact reason as to why the gunslinger wouldn’t be around. Instead, they opted to use the […]

Minnesota Golden Gophers coach P.J. Fleck already has his own reality show on ESPN. It is a delightful little television product in which we get to learn more about the man made infamous by wanting everyone to row their boat. Now, apparently, he’s going to get his own brand of “Row Your Boat” ice cream. […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide will unfortunately have to deal with the fallout of one of its fans being less than stellar with, well, life. Basically, the narrative of Alabama being “from the south” and its fan base being far removed from the smartest group of humans on the planet, both took a huge push toward […]
