The beloved Yogi Berra, in his well-lived 90 years on Earth, left us with many rich quotes, one of them being, “It gets late early out there.” The reference was to the experience of playing in the outfield at Yankee Stadium in October, during the World Series. The shadows would engulf the outfield a lot […]

If you’ve heard or read it once, you’ve heard or read it a million times: The character of a college football season changes based on the month. September and the non-conference schedule; October and the attempt to establish the right identity; November and the attempt to play under championship pressure — they’re three different flavors […]

Is there ample reason to be very concerned about the future of Texas football? Of course. Have the prospects for 2016 dimmed considerably as a result of the dumpster fire which has emerged in 2015? That question might not merit an airtight “yes,” but it’s certainly more likely than not. It’s very difficult to see […]

College football is upon us. Well, it actually entered our television sets on Thursday night, and there are a few moments between the bevy of games that will appear on Saturday, but semantics are for losers. There is a lot going on in the world of college football. Thankfully, less of it has to deal […]

It’s not the rarest of situations. It’s not mathematically hard to figure out on an immediate level. You’ve seen plenty of football games in which a team, trailing by 11 points inside the final five minutes of regulation, kicks a field goal to trim its deficit to eight points. Thursday night, Miami coach Al Golden […]
How Mark Richt fills the vacancy on his staff at the offensive coordinator position carries a lot of weight for the remainder of his tenure in Athens (however long that tenure will be).

This probably feels like a talk-radio topic, yet it does seem worth discussing. While no one can say anything just yet in a factual sense, waiting to use hindsight on the matter of “football programs in decline” is something Americans very much enjoy. Will they be able to use that hindsight in the coming weeks? We’ll […]

Hype is a curious creature. Sportswriters are often guilty of applying it to games which don’t merit it. Pundits and bloggers have been known to create a narrative which so fully defines the buildup to kickoff that the postgame conversation is inevitably reshaped as a result. When that reshaping seems to ignore the facts on […]

In what other walks of life do we tell other people what they should or shouldn’t do as far as their livelihood is concerned? The answer, outside politics and sports, happen to be no other people. Yet, because opinions, everyone — and their respective mothers — wants to chime in on everything Leonard Fournette. So, […]
