NCAA Spring Football
Looking Forward to Scrimages
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 [...]
A Breath of Fresh Air
Dion Lewis at Pitt
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 [...]
Rule Change Ruination
The Negative Impact of the Rule Book
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 [...]
Recruit My Kid? Oh, Hell No.
Recruiting in this World
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.

Warnings don’t necessarily translate to action as has been witnessed in the Mountain State, but the 2010 Recruiting Class for the West Virginia [...]
Black Coaches in NCAA Football
Breaking Barriers
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, [...]
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL WHO IS THE BEST OF THEM ALL
"The Best Buckeye Team Ever"
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 [...]
