This is the first in a series of posts leading up to the 2015-’16 college basketball season, wherein I preview each of the 33 conferences (well, 32 + 1 independent) that offer Division 1 basketball. There will be no set format, so some will be a bit of an overview, some will talk about sleepers, […]

That may or may not happen, but what we know for sure is that college football transfers will have quite an impact on the 2015 college football season. Across the country, from Auburn to […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder parted ways with Scott Brooks on Wednesday. Say what you will about him — because I have — but Brooks did do certain things well during his tenure with the franchise. After helping to develop players; building a foundation of success when the organization relocated; and taking the team to the Western […]

Coaches lose their jobs all the time, but they are the constants in college sports, certainly more than their players. What’s a quick way to survey a large chunk of the landscape in both college football and basketball?

The 2015 college basketball season just ended. The 2014 college football season is a more distant memory, but football owns more of a hold on the American sports fan’s imagination. Before every waking thought turns to the 2015 football season, why not explore the similarities of various football and basketball seasons from the current college […]

The last time a Florida coaching icon left for the pros, it came as a distinct shock… but it did happen. Steve Spurrier, having coached the Gators on the gridiron for 12 seasons (1990-2001), bolted for the NFL’s Washington Redskins in January of 2002. Naturally, the move wasn’t hard to explain: Spurrier wanted to scratch […]

Loyalty, honor, and other words that have nothing to do with specific subjects often times get thrown around them these days. We do so because, well, I am not too sure. Maybe it has something to do with our own ideas of how things should be. Or, really, it could simply be that it is far […]
