Listen, I realize that this news is a few days old, and I’m sure everyone has heard this by now, but I’m shocked that no one else has put up a post pointing out the delectable farce that is the continued existence of Houston Nutt.

Specifically, in this instance, the Jeremiah Masoli situation at Ole’ Miss. So, the NCAA has denied Masoli’s waiver to play without sitting out a year. The rule in question

We sat on the golf course, under the trees along the cart path, about 150 yards off the tee box where one of my errant left hook drives might have ended up waiting for traffic to clear out. We sat there in silence, wondering how the hell anyone was supposed to get out of this “parking lot”, knowing that we didn’t

BYU’s first official day as an football independent was a busy one. The Cougars agreed to an 8-year TV deal with ESPN and agreed to a multi-year series with Notre Dame.

ESPN will televise a minimum of three BYU home games on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. Additional games could be on ESPNU. BYU will recieve up to $1.2 million per game on the WWL. The pact runs through 2018. Any games not carried by

It was very late as Mack and Will sat together in the dark. Oklahoma could make you feel hollow inside. But Bellmont was a good place to watch film. Tonight they would drink and watch film before going home to their wives. Then their rummy would put up the chairs and sweep.

Stoops reminded them of the war. In the film he waved his arms and shouted

I missed this news when it surfaced a week ago so in case you did too, here’s the deal: When asked earlier this year what the athletic department might do to help the football program succeed, Colorado Head Coach Dan Hawkins suggested a contract extension.

Apparently, with a straight face.

Dan’s apparently tired of letting Colorado freeload its way to a %32 winning percentage for a paltry million and a half

I have some definitive thoughts on how events will play out in the conference this Fall. Realizing that this is pure, biased opinion and it’s worth exactly what you paid for it, it should at least make for fun discussion. Truthfully, I’m just sleep-deprived in anticipation of the new 3-hour College GameDay format.

So, Al Roker, Nostradamus and Jim Cantore walk into a bar….

Thank the Maker, College football has returned, and just in time to keep me from flying to CBS headquarters and immolating their entire creative programming department while cackling maniacally. I was ready to treat my couch like an Ohio State fan who just lost their favorite pair of jorts. And yes, I’m aware that CBS is the most watched network with their 9 CSI’s and 4 different variations of NCIS, and while it is truly

Nevin Shapiro, described as “an ardent, devoted, intense supporter,” of the University of Miami, also happened to run a $900 Million ponzi scheme. Shapiro, who is in jail after pleading to money laundering and security fraud charges has spent quality time in prison writing a book ratting out the Hurricane football program.

Shapiro donated over $300,000 to the program and had a suite at games. He now says that over the past decade he was
