Week six is the calm before the beautiful chaos that will be a massive week seven. Only two games feature battles between ranked teams, but that means the devil is in the details this weekend. Good games are to be had, but stranger games are abundant. Let’s unpeel this banana and break it all down. […]

“There’s nothing more dangerous than a wounded opponent.” If that’s the case, Saturday’s Big 12 game between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Kansas State Wildcats is going to be an extremely dangerous event.

It’s not exactly a secret: Many people don’t like ESPN. This means many different things for various consumers and evaluators of ESPN content. To cite just one example out of many, a lot of people hate it when ESPN insists on applying a label to a given week’s slate of games. Showdown Saturday. Survival Saturday. […]

Last season North Dakota State and South Dakota State played in the conference championship game for the second time in three seasons, with the Bison evening the score against their neighbors to the south. This season, with each team losing its best player to graduation, might there be room for someone else to take the […]

On Monday, I wrote about teams that are one-dimensional with quarterbacks. LSU has found itself in a rare spot. The offense for the Tigers is based on the rushing attack of one. While Leonard Fournette has become the early Heisman favorite, he has also created an unbeaten start for LSU. Clearly the offensive line has […]

Charlie Strong has been fighting an uphill battle since the moment he was hired as head coach at Texas. Boosters and the press questioned his ability to coach the Longhorns, despite going a combined 23-3 in his last two years at Louisville. What did the Texas fans think would happen?

Tuesdays can be brutal. Monday is over, the week is still long, and dinner is usually leftovers from the weekend. It is a sad state of affairs, to be honest. So, um… Is it time for some #MACtion yet? No? Well, fine. It doesn’t matter, I guess, except it totally does. Enough rambling. Link dump time. […]
