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 […]

Really iffy news coming out of the New Mexico football program, as head coach Bob Davie is under investigation for player mistreatment. NMfishbowl.com, citing multiple sources, is reporting that New Mexico head coach Bob Davie is currently under investigation for the alleged mistreatment of players.  The website wrote that “[t]he Davie investigation was initiated in recent […]

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 […]
