The NBA community was hit hard yesterday with the news of Lamar Odom being found unconscious. While not all that relevant to college sports fans, it is situation worth monitoring because a little empathy, thoughts, and prayers never hurt anyone. * College Football We are going to lump two Steve Sarkisian stories in our opening dump.

Following Texas’ upset win over Oklahoma, I made what I considered to be a pretty non-controversial comment about Bob Stoops: Wouldn’t be shocked if that’s bob stoops’ final red river shootout — Allen Kenney (@BlatantHomerism)

Earlier today, I wrote a general piece on the larger topic of quitting, in sports and various other theaters of life. The article was not a verdict on the subject so much as a series of questions meant to create a fresh discussion of the issue and its tension points. The act of quitting is, […]

“I quit.” “I’ve had enough of this.” “I’ve seen enough. I’m through with this.” At some point in our adult lives, we’ve felt these thoughts. Maybe we haven’t acted on them, but we’ve felt them. We’ve also seen enough situations — maybe in our own experiences, maybe in the lives of others around us, maybe […]

The Steve Spurrier backlash is real. Some are calling his early-season retirement selfish. Originally, to be honest, I was like “Oh hell no” and stuff like that. However, after giving it some thought and listening to others discuss why they felt that way, I suppose I get it. Alas, we “like” Spurrier so he gets […]

Stephen Orr Spurrier is a figure who demands and deserves treatment on many levels: yes, as a football coach, but also as a personality, a professional in a rough business, an innovator, and as an architect of two programs. Had he stayed at Duke for several more years, Spurrier could have built three different schools […]

While polls carry no weight whatsoever with the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, they certainly generate plenty of debate. As soon as they’re released every week, college football fans flood their respective message boards to discuss which teams are ranked too high and which teams are ranked too low. No team generates more comments — […]

Plenty of great coaches come and go, winning games and receiving acclaim. In the history of the Southeastern Conference and the long existence of college football, better coaches than Stephen Orr Spurrier have walked the earth. Urban Meyer and Nick Saban are the two men who most readily come to mind in the present tense. […]
