Earlier this college football season we witnessed Maryland suit up in one of the most beautifully designed patriotic uniforms the sport has seen. It was just the latest offering suggesting Maryland’s football program has stepped its game up in the realm of uniform design. The shock over the 2011 introduction to the state pride uniforms has […]

Villanova’s men’s basketball team does not start its season until next week, but that did not stop fans from honoring a long forgotten tradition during an exhibition tonight. Wildcats coach Jay Wright encouraged fans to throw streamers onto the court after Villanova’s first basket. The fans obliged. Scene at Pavilion after first

The Texas A&M Aggies will be digging deep into the history of the football program with a new uniform design this weekend. It is so good, it will have you wishing you could experience the days of leather helmets. When Texas A&M takes the field this week against Louisiana-Monroe, it will do so wearing a […]

A number of college football fans have been waiting for the day when Pittsburgh would once again embrace the script logo of the days past. The “Pitt” script hasn’t been seen much since the school went with the different take on the school colors to focus more on the gold. But wait no more, because […]

For weeks I have been on record saying East Carolina is the frontrunner in the Gang of Five access bowl hunt. After last night’s performance against Connecticut, and with the display of futility put on by Virginia Tech a little more than 300 miles northwest of Greensboro, I am not as certain as I once […]

Halloween is a week away, but Illinois will be looking like ghosts this weekend when the Illini take on Minnesota in Big Ten action. To be more specific, Illinois will look like Galloping Ghosts in honor of an Illini legend who also happens to be one of the most significant figures in the sport’s history. […]

The Michigan Wolverines are off this week after defeating Penn State last weekend, but there will be college football played in Michigan Stadium this weekend. Making a return to the Big House on Saturday will be Slippery Rock University, a Division II program with a bit of a storied history and connection to Michigan that […]

Cincinnati is going to be sporting a red helmet when the Bearcats take on SMU this weekend. It doesn’t have a shiny chrome finish, but I personally feel this look would look fantastic with a matte finish. Take a look, and tell us what you think. The

The rumors have been swirling for some time with nothing more than an image that was never truly confirmed. USC, when they face Arizona state this weekend in Pac-12 play, will wear a fancy reflective helmet complete with a terrific metallic finish and a chrome facemask. Compared to the image that had been floating around […]

I admit I have made the mistake of saying the Arizona Wildcats play in Tempe, Arizona before and I heard plenty of it from the fans of the Wildcats. I imagine any confusion between Arizona and Arizona State is a sensitive subject for some, and understandably so. I try to double check anytime I write […]
Dan Mullen has given new life to his career, putting together what is by far his best season as a head coach. Yet, a loss to Georgia Tech would leave a lot of national commentators saying that MSU was more a mirage than the picture of flesh and substance.

It is tough being a college football coach. What separates the good coaches from the great coaches are the decisions they make in the heat of the moment. The great coaches do not panic and are thinking about the impact a call on one play could have on a play six or nine plays in […]

North Carolina State is at it again. This weekend the Wolfpack will show off a brand new alternate helmet as they take on Boston College. Forget about the all black look they showed off earlier this season (that was horrible). Check out this new helmet, complete with the alternate logo. Pack’s new helmet for

Last week I pointed out just how low Michigan football was when not even Jon Gruden’s name was being throw around as a potential replacement for Brady Hoke if, or when, that time comes. Turns out the Michigan job may be Gruden’s actual dream job. Take a look at this 1984 Dayton football bio for […]

Late Saturday night out on the West Coast, Utah capped one of the wildest weekends in college football’s recent memory, and certainly the most bizarre sequence of events thus far in the dawn of the College Football Playoff era. Utah handed previously unbeaten UCLA its first loss of the season, thus adding quite the wrinkle […]

Stanford is rolling into Notre Dame Stadium later today, and somebody at ESPN thinks this is Notre Dame’s first game against a power conference opponent. Notre Dame has already played Michigan and Purdue form the Big Ten and Syracuse from the ACC. This is an obvious error for ESPN. Mistakes happen. In fairness, perhaps the […]
