Spring is sprung, the grass is rizz, I wonder where the football is. OK, I may not be a poet but one thing is certain, more and more college football fans are looking forward to their program’s spring games. What was once a minor affair consisting of the culmination of spring practice [...]
In this era of whining Prima Donnas and grand standing athletes who think the world owes them something, Dion Lewis, is like a breath of fresh air. This young man has his feet planted firmly on the ground. Lewis decision to attend Pitt was based as much on Pitt’s academic standards as it was on [...]
I don’t even know who this sport is anymore. The rules have changed so much over the past five years, like the face of a steel sculpture rusting in the rain. First it was the time changes back in 2006 to try and reduce the length of the game. Meanwhile, the TV timeouts ran on [...]
It seems recruiting and the National Signing Day for the LOI have really grown a powerful pair of wings and took flight in recent years. With nationally televised all-star games and commitment opportunities, a kid who played a couple good years of high school football gets more publicity than a local EMT that saves lives [...]
Proper: To hold up one’s second digit and proclaim you are #1 after winning the BCS Championship Game.
Improper: To hold up one’s finger and declare you are #1 after winning the Meineke Car Care bowl.
Proper: To attach your teams flags to your car to show your support on game day.
Improper: To show up to sunrise [...]
The Air Raid warning sirens have been reverberating through Morgantown’s mountains since Rodriguez’s final spring game in the ‘Old Gold and Blue’ colors and gained strength and frequency under OC Jeff Mullen. Warnings don’t necessarily translate to action as has been witnessed in the Mountain State, but the 2010 Recruiting Class for the West Virginia [...]
February is black history month and it only seems appropriate on a college football blog to address some positive changes occurring at the collegiate coaching level. With the departure of Mississippi State’s Sylvester Croom last season, the NCAA division 1A found itself with only 3 black head coaches out of 119 programs; Miami’s Randy Shannon, [...]
I have often heard passionate debates about which team was “The Best Buckeye Team Ever“. Over the years Ohio State has produced many good teams (Winning 7 National Championships), but in my mind three teams stand head and shoulders over the rest of them – the 1954 Buckeyes, the 1968 Buckeyes, and the 2002 Buckeyes. All three teams were undefeated [...]
In a stammering, barbiturate riddled, drunken stupor, Keith Richard’s puzzling grumblings made more sense than the Terrapin’s on-field performance the past few years. The ACC was alleged to become a ‘Super Conference’ with the additions of Boston College, Miami, and Virginia Tech according to media outlets. The subsequent years have been anything but super and [...]
Alabama wins 37-21, but “what could’ve been” steals the show
Posted by Keith Arnold on January 8, 2010 12:04 AM ET
In a game that defied logic and explanation, Alabama survived a late rally by Texas led by its backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert and star receiver Jordan Shipley, and rebounded to win 37-21.
While Alabama deserves all the [...]
