Your Week 1 College Football Uniform Briefing

Ordinarily in this weekly segment our goal will be to highlight one particular uniform to be worn during the college football season that specific week. However, this week is going to be a little different. There are far too many uniforms to discuss on the opening weekend, so I have chosen three uniforms to point […]

Hawaii beats Colorado, and Wisconsin-Arizona State comes to mind

Remember this a couple years ago? This was another September game drenched in controversy, and more specifically, the unwillingness of an officiating crew to grant relief to a team which had done what it was supposed to do in an endgame situation: Now, one night into the 2015 college football season, we have another example […]

Utah Beats Michigan, Thrives Under New Coordinators

Throughout the offseason, people wondered how Utah would do this fall after losing both coordinators. If Thursday night’s performance is any indication, the answer is “just fine.” That’s not to say that the Utes were perfect. The Utah pass rush – which led the nation in sacks last year – failed to produce one against […]

TCU wins ugly… and that’s a good thing

In terms of style, college football’s season premieres fell with a thud. Ugliness infested gridirons across the land and reared its head throughout a messy Thursday night. North and South Carolina couldn’t get out of their own way for much of their game. Utah State needed an eternity to finally outlast Southern Utah (12-9 was […]

Minnesota loses a game but shows it belongs

Everyone in Minneapolis and around these United States knew that the Minnesota Golden Gophers faced very small margins on Thursday night against the TCU Horned Frogs.

George O’Leary loses a game… and his four-leaf clover

Anyone who has been through enough college football seasons to appreciate the rhythms of this sport (or a lack thereof) knows that even the most discouraging week-one losses can be overcome. The sport with no preseason games puts a lot of 19- and 20-year-old athletes into a competitive cauldron they’re simply not used to. It […]

5 reminders for every college football season

Every year, college football makes us very angry. “Us” refers to everyone who participates in the rollercoaster of emotions that is a college football season — the fans who get upset at pundits, the writers who can’t stand how the playoff system works (or fails to work), the coaches who can’t stand referees, and the […]
