Grant of Rights Deal Great for ACC; Cincinnati and UConn Biggest Losers

I wonder what those bloggers are thinking now. Are those haters/hacks from West Virginia sad that the Atlantic Coast Conference is here to stay (at least for the next 14 years)? Those are some of the questions I had on my mind when the ACC announced that it and its presidents agreed to a grant […]

Something Is Up with Manti Te’o

By now we all have heard the mother of all hoaxes. That story about Manti Te’o’s girlfriend dying, which he said inspired him to play better as he helped the Fighting Irish get to the BCS National Championship, turned out to be a hoax.  Deadspin.com (God bless Deadspin) reported it could find no record of […]

HuffPost Webcast Discussion on Student-Athletes Getting Paid

I had the pleasure of participating in a Huffington Post Live webcast discussing why student athletes should/should not get paid. While there was some minor push-back among the panelists on differing opinions on the matter, I did enjoy learning other perspectives. By the way, if you want to see the discussion here is the link: […]

Manti Te’o Should Have Won the Heisman

Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel, a.k.a “Johnny Football”, became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, edging out Notre Dame LB Manti Te’o and Kansas State QB Collin Klein for second and third place, respectively. I have a fundamental problem with the Heisman voting. First of all, I view the Heisman Trophy as the […]

Rebirth of a Football Fan (Part One)

By Lauren Woode Follow her on Twitter: @LaurenIsLive I have a confession to make.  I am a lapsed football fan.  This year I have watched fewer football games than I can ever remember and I’m talking elementary school.  Why is this do you ask?  Trying to start your own business while looking for a job […]

Bill O’Brien Should Be College Football’s Coach of the Year

Man, I have not been so wrong about something like this in a long-ass time. Penn State’s football team not only beat a good Wisconsin team that is going to play for the Big Ten conference championship, it finished 8-4.  Yup, you read that right: 8 wins with 4 losses. This is the same Penn […]

Maryland to the Big Ten Makes No Sense

So much for the talks of realignment dying down after the Notre Dame move. The University of Maryland is in talks of leaving the ACC for the Big Ten (B1G) Conference, and an announcement could come Monday morning.  College president Wallace Loh and athletics director Kevin Anderson are spearheading the talks with the B1G. Look, […]

Texas A&M’s Win Validates SEC as the Best

A lot of folks have one of the following feelings after Texas A&M pulling off the upset of the year over Alabama today: one of joy, relieve, and trepidation. Here’s a feeling I think fans of the Southeastern Conference should have after A&M’s win: validation.  Validation that the SEC is once again the baddest college […]

K-State, not Oregon, Is the #2 Team in the Nation

Sometimes I wonder what games the poll voters are watching. For some crazy-ass reason, Oregon is still ahead of Kansas State for the #2 spot in both the AP and USA Today rankings. Hmmm, let’s see.  K-State – previously ranked #2 in the BCS – beat down a good Oklahoma State team 44-30 on the […]
