Look: Sneak Peek at Texas A&M blackout

The Texas A&M Aggies are preparing for a blackout game against South Carolina on Saturday. Here are some tweets that show a little insight into what that will look like…. Back in Black

College Basketball Conference Preview: The MAAC

It’s not the MAC, it’s the MAAC. The largely New York- and Connecticut-based conference was one of the nation’s most exciting last season, with almost 30 percent of its games being decided by four points or fewer, or in overtime by any margin. Iona won the regular season title by multiple games, but its awful […]

20 for 20: week eight

In the week eight statistical review of the 20 most notable games on the college football slate, we unearthed a special box score. Call it “the fully loaded hot dog” box score, the “super-size combo meal” box score, the “supreme pizza” box score, or whatever other name you prefer. This is a box score in […]

Thoughts, Observations, and Things To Watch Out for in Week 9

Even though there’s only one game between ranked opponents, week nine features a number of intriguing matchups. Here’s a list of stats, observations, and things to watch out for on Saturday. While there’s still plenty of football left to be played, Notre Dame-Temple is a must-win game for the American Conference in a specific context. […]

Sampler Platter Week 9: It’s Getting Serious

Let’s dive into the sampler platter, shall we? The world flipped inside out last weekend with Florida State and Utah taking huge tumbles. The stakes only rise as we roll towards November. A Halloween slate is upon us, and it’s time to break it down without any ghoulish puns. … GAME OF THE WEEK: NOTRE […]

Uniforms of the Week: Halloween Edition

Maybe you have outgrown Halloween, but that doesn’t mean your favorite college football team has to do the same. On Saturday, college football players may not dress up in costume this weekend, but a handful of programs will get in the Halloween spirit with their uniforms. If there is ever a week to give a […]

Don’t expect West Virginia to roll over and play dead against TCU

It was supposed to be better than this for West Virginia. Dana Holgorsen is in year five of his existence as WVU’s head football coach, one full recruiting cycle in, which is typically when even the most patient of natives get restless if their internal (realistic) expectations are not likely to be met. The Mountaineers entered […]

Washington State faces a moment of opportunity against Stanford

Mike Leach had not yet brought his high-flying offense to full effect at Washington State… until the past few weeks. In the three seasons prior, Leach compiled a 12-25 record with the Cougars, which included a pair of 3-9 campaigns. This season got off to an even rockier start, with a loss to Portland State […]

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).

Georgia, Florida, and the Mark Richt contradiction

What, pray tell, is “The Mark Richt Contradiction?” It lies at the heart of the latest renewal of The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party… and it leads Georgia Bulldog fans to drink heavily. * Here’s a larger scenario involving two different programs: Program A watches an iconic coach (who just retired earlier this season after […]

The ideal college football schedule: week nine

With another relatively thin schedule this week, it is once again difficult to adhere to the idea that time slots need to be differentiated. In November, you’ll see tons of examples in which games should possess more staggered start times, but on Halloween, few scheduled kickoffs should scare you or fill you with demon rage. […]

Oregon, Arizona State, and a Pac-12 which lies in the dark

Thursday night in the ironically-named Valley of the Sun, Oregon and Arizona State will play a game which starts at roughly 10:35 p.m. Eastern time. This is, of course, the time slot for #Pac12AfterDark, a hashtag meant to capture the wackiness of the league which plays when much of America goes to sleep… especially on […]

Pitt and North Carolina play a huge game, and it’s not 1979

The city is Pittsburgh, but the program is affectionately known as Pitt — to the point that “Script Pitt” on Dan Marino’s helmet became a cherished college football look. (Why it had to be abandoned is beyond me. I digress…) Thursday night, the Steel City hosts both a game and a visiting team which bring […]
