Conference Rankings: Week 6

0 comments by on 10/12/2016

We’re in that annual mud pit where everyone starts eating their own for the most part, so it’s a fantastic time for hyperbolic “transitive property” arguments to take center stage. Team X from my conference beat team Y from yours, and team Y beat a good team from their conference, so clearly team X from […]

This isn’t … well … your tween’s Pac-12, assuming you have a tween child. For the first time in eight years, it looks like someone other than Stanford or Oregon will be winning the conference. They lost by a combined 112-37 to Washington State and Washington respectively. There’s more to know, but that’s the main part. […]

Three Points from Washington’s Smoking of Stanford

0 comments by on 10/1/2016

Only you can prevent forest fires, so says Smokey the Bear. Step 1: don’t let 2016 Washington football onto the grounds. The Huskies smoked the Stanford Cardinal to the tune of 44-6 Friday night, announcing the fact that they’re damn well for real, and the Pac-12 as well as the nation had better heed notice. The […]

Urban Meyer speaks out against early signing period

0 comments by Jesse Kramer on 9/28/2016

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer once again expressed his stance against the early signing period Monday. “I hear the reasoning is because there’s so many decommitments,” Meyer said. “What the hell does that mean? So because 17-year-olds are decommitting, let’s give them a legal document so they can’t decommit. That’s not very smart. Young people […]

North Dakota State to the Big 12? Honestly, it’d make sense

0 comments by on 9/19/2016

In case you’ve been living in a ditch that doesn’t get radio frequency or Wifi, the Big 12 is potentially looking to expand. Or not. It sort of depends on the week. It’s more fickle than a high school relationship, but either they will or won’t … that’s for sure. What it gives the world […]

North Dakota State beat No. 13 Iowa thanks to game-winning FG as time expires

0 comments by on 9/17/2016

For some reason, FBS teams continue to schedule North Dakota State. The Bison are an FCS dynasty, and have shown no problem in stepping up and taking on their supposedly superior FBS opponents. Entering today’s game with the No. 13 Iowa Hawkeyes, the Bison were 5-0 in their last five match ups with FBS teams. However, the Hawkeyes were […]

Darned if ya do, darned if ya don’t, Dabo. That’s how it works these days it seems. If the 24/7 microwave news cycle that’s come into existence in such a powerful way has caused one reaction from celebrities or public figures in general, it’s that the desire to cling to “no comment” generic-type comments on […]

If they gave the Heisman Trophy out after two weeks of football, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen would have a nice prize to go along with his bumps and bruises Saturday night in a stirring 41-38 victory over top-15 Texas Christian at their place. Allen wouldn’t be denied on the last play. Down three, on third down, […]

More discouraging Saturday … Mike Gundy or Pat Fitzgerald?

0 comments by

September 10, 2016 wasn’t a good day for beloved coaches of their alma mater who’ve been annually coveted by other teams but have opted to stay close to home. Granted, that pool isn’t necessarily a large one, but for Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State and Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern, the bitterness will last a solid […]

James Franklin and Penn State’s Missed Opportunity

0 comments by

It’s been a while since We Are! has meant something. In fact, it has to feel more like We Were! for Penn State fans under James Franklin. When Franklin was hired, he was coming off a very successful run at Vanderbilt, bringing the Commodores to a more than respectable place in a crowded SEC despite […]

0 comments by

When the Big 12 recently trimmed its list of expansion candidates, East Carolina Pirates didn’t make the cut. Based on the Pirates’ play this afternoon, the league might eventually regret that decision. Powered by a high-octane offense, East Carolina defeated NC State 33-30 to move to 2-0. Make no mistake about it: the Pirate offense […]
