Bret Bielema might be brilliant. That’s how you start off a column right there. It’s either, “I must keep reading because this is destined to be the most idiotic thing I’ve ever read” or “okay, go on …” Bielema rolled out his latest version of “saying things people might be thinking, but knowing enough that […]

There’s the oft-overused “low hanging fruit,” and then there are vultures. If you ever watch vultures, they’re painfully lazy. They hang around areas where stuff gets run over for the most part, and as if to not tax themselves too much, wait for it to be dead, and then go eating. A car whizzes by, […]
Woo pig, pay me!

Your weekly college football ramblings from yours truly, which basically is code for, “none of these are worth a full article, but I still need to complain about them.” Enjoy. We’re adding a “beer of the week,” just in the event people get through it all and want some sort of reward for suffering through. […]

Rumor has it, Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien is interested in returning to the college ranks to coach, specifically Maryland. Rumor has it, Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien is NOT interested in returning to the college ranks to coach, specifically Maryland, but everyone else too. Some time ago, I had a conversation with […]

Deep into Saturday night, Utah lost to Arizona when Arizona couldn’t throw the ball forward other than for one play in overtime. It was preceded by an equal parts stunning and bitter loss for Stanford at home to Oregon … a team the Cardinal tortured when the stakes were switched and one was the hunter […]

There’s an obscure, not-much-believed artifact from Biblical lore known as the Lazarus Bowl. It’s the stuff of science fiction to most, but the story goes that an old woman was making a pottery bowl when Christ raised Lazarus from the dead and his voice was recorded into the object. It’s more of a fringe lunatic […]

It’s hard to believe the muff heard ’round the college football world was a month ago. Michigan, then the team that lost with four of a kind Kings that day, now suddenly keeps winning with a pair of 10s, at best. Most are probably surprised Michigan is here … an Ohio State win at home […]

We’ve probably all been in a situation where we see or know someone who has a point they’re trying to get across, but they go to absurd levels to continue driving that point home. The CFB Playoff committee rankings, version 2.0 came out last night, and while it’s been said many times in this spot […]

Here are the four thoughts I had to share with you this week: 1. Why do we cater to the lazy, regarding Michigan and the intent to deceive? Michigan’s “intent to deceive” penalty is the dumbest thing anyone has ever seen. Basically, Michigan broke the huddle in its game against Rutgers, and tight end Jake […]

Michigan State just went into Alabama and got it handed to them, losing by two touchdowns and not gaining 200 yards in the process. It was the Spartans’ first loss this season after trucking teams on the ground through the previous two months. Alabama isn’t “teams,” though. The Crimson Tide rolled up 434 yards in […]

I don’t do grave dancing, and LSU is no different. Sometimes, you lose a fight on decision. Sometimes, there’s no referee and you get your backside kicked outside the rear door of the bar and left to bleed on the concrete. The reality is that LSU is not done because the Tigers are in the […]

In what will likely end up being the biggest story in college football … and perhaps sports … this year, Missouri players have decided to boycott all football activities until school president Tim Wolfe is either removed or steps down. Below is the Tweet announcing it from the Legion of Black Collegians. We are no […]

Getting it done while being sexy in the process is only important if we’re still in the BCS era, or if you’re casting for the adult film industry. For the rest of us, simply getting it done is enough. Arkansas saved its season on a play that may as well be called “The Bielema” for […]

Florida scored more football points than Vanderbilt on Saturday. That’s all you need to know. In the end, that’s all that matters. We rarely remember how it got done enough to change our minds on anything, just that it got done. With that, Florida clinches the SEC East, which, by default, puts the Gators one […]
