I swear Herschel Walker could suit up today and play football for any team in the country. Just listening to him speak gets me fired up as well, which is why he was invited to speak to the football team at Air Force. The man has a way of connecting with players and sending a […]

The Phillies are out of the postseason, for the third striaght year (FIRE RUBEN –ahem, sorry I have regained my composure). While the team would obviously prefer to still be playing baseball this month, the down time will allow a handful of Phillies to sit back and enjoy some college football. Nebraska football, specifically. A […]

Adidas has been the laughing stock of college football uniforms for a few seasons now. They once again have taken Nebraska’s iconic look and spit all over it. This weekend the Cornhuskers will be going all red from head to toe with some abysmal uniforms. The full uniform look…

You really could not have scripted the home finale for New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter any better. Jeter hit a walk-off base hit against the Baltimore Orioles Thursday night in the final game he will play in front of his home crowd before heading to retirement. It was a magical moment for baseball, and one […]

Texas Tech is playing a Big 12 contest tonight against Oklahoma State. It could very well be a shootout, so why wouldn’t Texas Tech want to pack some silver bullets? Or, at the very least, some silver helmets? Check out these helmets the Red Raiders will be wearing tonight. It’s… interesting. Close up of

Virginia will be going retro this weekend when the surprisingly tough Cavaliers take on Kent State. The helmets, as seen below, are a nod back to the Virginia football program in the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. This is not the first time Virginia has brought back this design though. Virginia wore a similarly retro-themed helmet […]

Every college football program’s staff is different from the next. I am not sure how many schools have a Supervisor of Morale on their staff, but North Carolina does. His name is Caleb Pressley. He is going to be featured in a segment on ESPNU’s College Football Daily on Thursday. Here is a quick teaser…

You probably had to see this one coming. Following a blowout win over North Carolina in which East Carolina scored more points on the Tar Heels than any team in UNC history, a fresh new billboard in support of ECU was put up a few miles outside of Greenville, North Carolina. The message of the […]

Desmond Howard made striking the Heisman pose (inaccurately) a thing football players enjoy doing. Utah’s Kaelin Clay happens to be one of those players. In Utah’s road game at Michigan Stadium, Clay returned a punt for a touchdown to give the visiting Utes a 10-3 lead, following the extra point attempt. Just as Howard did all […]

After covering college football the last few years I have seen a small sampling of promotional contents find a way to my mailbox from time to time. A few years ago when Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III was on the rise, the Baylor program sent out trading cards of their eventual Heisman Trophy player. Kansas […]

Today is September 11. It is a day I will never forget for the rest of my life, and I am sure you can probably say the same. Everybody has a different way with remembering what happened that Tuesday morning in 2001, as well as the events that unfolded as the week went on. Most autumnal […]

I will say now what I said two years ago: The NCAA was misguided in its handling of Penn State in light of a terrible sequence of events centering around the actions of Jerry Sandusky, but it was thrust into a position to have to do something to deliver a message. In handling an unprecedented […]

McNeese State gave Nebraska all it could handle in Lincoln on Saturday. In a season still raw on FCS teams upsetting FBS squads, McNeese State was pretty darn close to at least forcing overtime against the Big Ten school. Too bad Ameer Abdullah came through with the longest reception of his career in the final minute […]

Hi. My name is Kevin McGuire and I’m addicted to college football. It had been 233 days since my last experience with college football, but on Wednesday night I let it get the best of me. Part of me was ashamed to get such a thrill by watching Georgia State and Abilene Christian, but the […]

Who doesn’t like a good bargain? Who doesn’t like pizza? Who doesn’t like an incredibly good deal on pizza? A Fayetteville, Arkansas pizza shop is ready to cook up a fantastic deal for customers if — IF — Arkansas opens the season with a 1-0 record. That would mean beating defending SEC champion Auburn, on the […]
