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

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 [...]
The Grand Finale – in the Rose Bowl of all places. If we want to bring up history to prove anything, take a look at the Tide’s Rose Bowl record. Texas beat Bama in the Orange Bowl 45 years ago, but Namath was over, damn it, so that one is as debatable as the 1966 [...]

The Bowls Stop Here: Picks IV
Things are getting heavier than December northeastern snow fall in the Creek vs. Musket match-up, and for these two game pickers it seems they’re buried beneath the weight of a tractor trailer. Early tallies indicate that Musket may have sunk into early hibernation while Creek may have wondered farther south [...]
What had happened was this…One day in December about two weeks before Saint Nicholas was supposed to go out and see all the good little girls and boys Mike Leach and his cousin Leons decided to totally ruin Coach Leach’s career. Well, they both thought together, how’s this gonna’ happen? What can we do to [...]
The year 2010 is here. A decade into the new century and still no flying cars or robot servants, but we do have two college football teams that have played above the rest. Any time you try to argue something as subjective as “team of the decade” it is always thought provoking and [...]
