D’oh! The Simpsons nailed state of college football in 2000

I have had one TV in my home office fixed on FXX with The Simpsons marathon ongoing. I have been enjoying rewatching many of the classic episodes from when I still watched the show (I am looking forward to finally binge watching many of the episodes originally airing after 2004, when I started to stop […]

Orange is the new black for Boise State helmet

As we get closer and closer to the start of a new season, we are still seeing plenty of uniform news break on a daily basis it seems. It is not always easy on the eye (ahem, Kansas), but Boise State revealed a brand new orange helmet to be worn for the season opener in […]

Kentucky adding a chrome helmet in 2014?

When it comes to helmet designs there are two trends I think are difficult to go wrong with. Helmets with a matte or chrome finish are pretty slick in most cases, and it seems Kentucky is looking to add some shiny flair to their look in 2014.

Brady Hoke has worn this look of concern for the past few seasons. He needs to find answers in Ann Arbor… but it’s not as though he’s the only person to blame for Michigan’s problems.

Brady Hoke keeping a cool head on a hot seat

The installation of the new FieldTurf began shortly after spring graduation ceremonies and has been completed. It even sports a fancy Notre Dame logo at midfield. Yard line […]

Steve Spurrier had a lot of explaining to do after his performance against Tennessee last season, by far the Head Ball Coach’s worst outing in an otherwise superb season in the Palmetto State.

Can we please see Steve Spurrier in one more big New Year’s bowl game before it is too late?

Steve Spurrier has not coached a team in a big time, traditional New Years Day bowl game since romping Maryland 56-23 in the 2002 Orange Bowl. It is hard to believe so much time has passed by since one of the most quotable coaches in the sport of college football has had a chance to […]

ACC riding high entering ACC Football Kickoff

For the past few years the challenge issued by ACC commissioner John Swofford to the members of the ACC has been to represent the conference on a national level with better results. This summer, with the defending national champions (Florida State), and a second BCS bowl winner (Clemson), what will Swofford’s message be now? With […]
