Published on: 29th November, 2009
Virginia's Al Groh and Louisville's Steve Kragthorpe will be looking for jobs after being fired by their respective schools this weekend following poor seasons.

On weekend that saw Florida's BCS rivals Texas and Alabama (nearly) fall to in-state rivals, Florida showed how it was done against Florida State, hammering the Seminoles by the 'close' score of 37-10. Yesterday we at the VFA made the point that winning rivalry games was often a question ...Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: You Survived, Alabama

Alabama scored their first win in Auburn since God was a boy. We saw no toilet paper on trees. No screams of "Go To Hell, Alabama!" after the game, and everyone (apart from 10,000-20,000 Alabama fans who made the trip to Jordan Hare Stadium) went home a little bit sad. ...Texas Wins, but Have the Longhorns Shot Themselves in the Foot?

Thursday night's Texas-Texas A&M game was a Texas-style shoot-out, complete with drama, fat women in the stands, and noise. But, while Texas A&M will feel once again disheartened by losing to Texas, Texas will also be disheartened. Make no mistake about it, folks, that sort of defensive performance can work against lousy ...Texas Wins, but Might Give Florida or Alabama a Blueprint for Victory

It's always a bummer for us at the VFA that Penn State really has no natural rivals. Sure, the Lions played Pitt, USC, and Notre Dame a bunch of times back in the "independent days," but now that the Big Ten's here, Penn State have got nobody they can truly ...Charlie Weis and Al Groh – Pink Slips Ahead?: The VFA Week 12 Awards

It's Thanksgiving out there people, and most of us are already thinking about turkey rather than football. Actually, that's not true...we're all thinking about turkey. AND football. For Penn State Nation, the [add word here] 10-2 season is over, with the good hammerin' of Michigan State. Gosh we played ...Cardinal Beats Trojans While Catholics Fall to Panthers: Week 11 Thoughts

A monster of a weekend it was in the world of college football. The Stanford Cardinal trashed USC, while Charlie Weis' job prospects are looking increasingly dark after a loss against Pitt. Ohio State won the Big Ten title, while doing some favors for Penn State's BCS chances (not that ...Charlie Weis a Winner Against Pitt? Week 11 College Football Predictions

Right, it's Week 11 of the college football season, and I'm still trying to work who's better: Texas, Florida, or Alabama (not necessarily in that order). I've got friends who are Texas and Alabama fans, but I haven't found a UF fan who doesn't say in conversation, "But you don't ...Penn State’s Offensive Line Needs to Improve
Published on: 8th November, 2009
