Josh Rosen should ease up on the public displays of opinion and listen to his coach

When your college football coach compares you to a former Heisman Trophy winning freshman quarterback, you would take it as the highest of compliments.

West Virginia and Will Grier: What we can expect

0 comments by on 4/6/2016

Get ready for West Virginia Will. Florida’s former starting quarterback-turned suspended for usage of performance enhancing drugs turned transfer Will Grier is now a Mountaineer. Dana Holgorsen has to be tickled. Grier has to be thinking he’s gotten his wish. For Holgorsen, the timing was perfect. Eventually, the WVU natives will get loudly restless if […]

0 comments by on 3/7/2016

College basketball teams — not being as responsible as NBA teams — blow big leads all the time. Over the past week of zany conference tournament action, Austin Peay overcame a 19-point second-half deficit to win the Ohio Valley Tournament. Northern Iowa led Evansville by 17 in the second half of the Missouri Valley Tournament […]

Public Shaming: A college player shows NBA free throw failures how it’s done

0 comments by on 3/2/2016

DeAndre Jordan. Andre Drummond. Dwight Howard. These and other NBA big men aren’t failed basketball players by any means. They are, however, failures as free throw shooters. It’s a pretty big deal when — under NBA rules that are likely to be revised in the coming offseason — Team B can purposefully foul so that […]

0 comments by on 1/16/2016

It’s been a wild start to the 2015-16 college basketball season, as two powerhouses, Duke and Kentucky, have seen themselves free-fall down the ranks. Just like that, last year’s champion and a yearly threat to the throne don’t appear to be getting the love everyone thought they’d be getting. That may just show how early […]

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz and His Year of Redemption

0 comments by on 12/4/2015

They don’t make you a card-carrying member of the job security club when you become a big-time college football coach. But nobody has to tell that to Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz, whose team is getting ready to shine up the helmets, pull up the socks, and put on the eye-black in preparation for […]

The two teams from Oklahoma had very different Saturday evenings. As the Oklahoma Sooners had a thrilling one-point win against the TCU Horned Frogs in their final home game of the regular season, the Oklahoma State Cowboys couldn’t capitalize on their opportunity to join the country’s elite teams with a 10-point loss to Baylor at […]

Just like that, Michigan could be one game from a Big Ten title shot

0 comments by on 11/21/2015

If you’d have said Michigan would be in position to win a Big Ten title back in August, you’d have been labeled a Harbaugh Happy Homer. The author knows this, because he lived it. Because of it, these are strange bedfellows this college football makes. Michigan will be relegated to “rooting” for arch enemy Ohio […]

Bret Bielema might be brilliant. That’s how you start off a column right there.
