As you know about the world of college football and reading stuff by this writer, we're happy to be 'cheer-led' into our story. Don't worry, it's not an A-Z of the best-looking cheerleaders (that's a column for another story!!), but it's a story about college football's ten "opposite to disappointing" ...Published on: 10th December, 2009
After he basically said he'd entertain offers from big-time schools, Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly seems to have gotten himself the biggest offer of them all—Notre Dame. Unless you've been under a rock for the last few years, when it comes to college football, Notre Dame and their ...Published on: 6th December, 2009
I heard some guy on YouTube talking about the Texas-Nebraska as the "most insane game" ever. He obviously didn't see the Cincinnati-Pitt game earlier in the day, or the Georgia Tech-Clemson game going on on another channel. It was a close game, but when we talk about "insane games", we ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
Congratulations, Alabama. After beating Florida 32-13 in the 'Game For the Ages' for 2009—The SEC Championship—the University of Alabama is going to the National Title game. Quite simply, Tim Tebow & Co. simply couldn't deal with a smothering Crimson Tide defense. Alabama put on a clinic. The Gators and their rather lovely cheerleaders (hey, ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
It's frankly not unusual that games involving a team from Pittsburgh should end up with a botched special teams play to decide the game. The hometown Pittsburgh Steelers have managed to lose not one but two games this season in overtime, and it was hardly surprising when at snowy ...Published on: 4th December, 2009
If you're a Kansas Jayhawks fan, you should be super-annoyed that the powers-that-be in Lawrence decided to fire Mark Mangino. Yes, we understand that there were locker room shenanigans where Mangino made some derogatory remarks towards players. But if we're honest, do you think they were any worse than players hear from ...Published on: 4th December, 2009
Notre Dame's decision not to go to a bowl game with a 6-6 record because of the "unique circumstances" following the end to the Irish's somewhat heartbreaking season in which they could quite easily have either run the table or ended up 3-9 stunned the world of college football. ...Published on: 3rd December, 2009
In the last few days we've spent an awful lot of time saying goodbye to Bobby Bowden, Charlie Weis, and, er, Al Groh. Now, Willie Martinez and the Georgia defensive coaching staff is out of a job after Georgia's bowl game. And you know what? It's no surprise. Some friends and I were ...Published on: 1st December, 2009
I don't know a lot about the history of Florida State football, but I know this—Florida State will be forever linked to Bobby Bowden. And while I don't want to be a downer on Doak Campbell, if FSU's stadium isn't re-named "Bobby Bowden Stadium" (shorted to "The Bowd," or ...Published on: 30th November, 2009
Charlie Weis is gone and now Notre Dame can look forward to the future. Before we start to look for the future coach of America's biggest college football team (Kirk Herbstreit's pronouncement on College Gameday that Notre Dame was an 'irrelevant' program was absolute rubbish—do you hear us talking ...
