Why isn’t Brian Kelly winning anymore at Notre Dame?

In any professional relationship in life, business will always try to do better if they can. “Better” isn’t just a one-off in terms of talent. Does someone else have more talent? Okay. Do they fit in with the culture you have set? Do they cost more/less? Do they have a higher ceiling? All those things […]

Three Points from Ohio State’s win over Wisconsin

In a game that had the feel of some sort of Big Ten semi-final tilt if there was such a thing, Ohio State outlasted Wisconsin in Camp Randall in overtime, 30-23. It could be a preview of the actual Big Ten Championship Game, but that’ll take some doing on both sides. At any rate, we […]

Dan Mullen couldn’t find answers on his play sheet, and his team once again moved the ball with painful slowness when trailing by two possessions late in the fourth quarter, much like the Alabama loss a few weeks ago. Mississippi State has still had a successful season, yes, but the Bulldogs look so ordinary at the moment, recalling much of their tortured past.

Mississippi State Bulldogs face “must win” game against BYU Cougars

The Mississippi State Bulldogs face a “must win” game against the BYU Cougars on Friday night. That’s not to say the Dawgs are playing for Dan Mullen’s job. They aren’t.
