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 […]

Launch date for the SEC Network is this Thursday, August 14. Richard Deitsch’s panel tackles that subject and much more in a far-ranging media roundtable. Your mileage may vary, but it’s worth processing what various Sports Illustrated writers have to say about the college football media landscape in a not-that-ordinary year for the sport and its identity on television.

Two years after its launch, I’ve never seen a second of the Pac-12 Network. Apparently, I’m not alone. Meanwhile, Verizon FiOS broke the news to me earlier this week that no longer would I miss a minute of a Paul Finebaum Show simulcast. The SEC Network, which may very well be the crowning achievement in […]

First, I need to bring up a couple of off-the-gridiron issues: College football needs to address the issue of scheduling. There are so many games against FCS competition this weekend […]

Boise State is a program in transition as we approach the 2014 season. For the first time in five years, the Broncos weren’t voted a preseason top 25 team. For the first time since 2005, their coach is not Chris Petersen. For the first time since 2002, Boise State is following up a season in […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart It was 1995, and a middle school kid in the heartland screwed up in school. The kind of screw up that you figure normally warrants the powers that be to issue out stiff punishment the likes of which not seeing any rooms but the bedroom and the john would be reasonable to […]

The Cincinnati Bearcats enter year two under Tommy Tuberville as The American favorites — that’s the conference; Cincinnati isn’t America’s team. I think that’s trademarked. Cincinnati was tabbed the AAC favorite by the AAC media. It’s a bit of a spotlight on a program that is chasing the next level of success: expectations. Cincinnati has […]
Eventually, Diesel and his pals need to sack up.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Last column of this sort before the season starts. It’s been a great tradition. All three of them so far and all. Traditions are funny things. I have no idea how many times something needs to happen to be a “tradition.” In dating, it’s always useful after basically you don’t want to […]

With the college football season set to kick off on Wednesday night with Abilene Christian squaring off against Georgia State, it’s time for me to release my preseason poll. I will update these rankings each week as the season progresses, moving teams up and down according to what transpires on the gridiron. When examining my […]

The Marshall Thundering Herd may be the longest of shots that have been highlighted in this collection of potential teams that could grab the at-large big in the major bowl games, more so than Louisiana-Lafayette. Marshall faces a difficult challenge: its schedule. It’s not difficult in terms of whom Marshall plays; it’s difficult in that […]

See that photo above? We’ve arrived at the time of year when college football begins again, meaning that through the first weekend of April, you’ll see football or basketball games with student sections all over the country. Yes, for the next seven and a half months, we have big-ticket college sports in our lives — […]
