We are knee deep in college football season but college hoops are just around the corner. Today, Michigan basketball unveiled their “jumpman” game shoes. Take a look….. Here. They. Are. 🎉

Ordinarily, I’d open up the week with a “5 Things We Learned About ACC Football” piece to discuss what transpired on the gridiron over the weekend. However, last week’s results showed that the league is one of the deepest in college football. Unlike some other conferences, there’s no such thing as an off week in […]

No, the title of this post is not just referring to Alabama. Most analysts and pundits right now think that Alabama is head and shoulders above everyone else in college football right now. And, that very well may be true. But, the top spot usually finds ways to work itself out. Even if Alabama runs […]

The Top 25 is always a great source for discussion. Teams in the Top 25 can be overrated or underrated based on many things. Sometimes, voters base too much on what happened during the last week or on the teams record without really digging into their schedule. Here’s a look at the five teams that […]

With only five games on the Pac-12 slate this past weekend, the conference is doing this weekly column no favors in forcing it to extract broad sweeping ideas from a small sample size. Oh well, on with the show. 1. Sam Darnold looks like the real deal Darnold didn’t start until the fourth game of […]

At one point during Saturday’s Ohio State – Wisconsin game, the Aflac (advertise, please) trivia question came on about which Big Ten team was the last to defeat three top 10 conference teams in a season. The answer was 2003 Michigan, to which surprise was elicited to know that Purdue was one of those teams. We […]

In any professional relationship in life, business will always try to do better if they can. “Better” isn’t just a one-off in terms of talent. Does someone else have more talent? Okay. Do they fit in with the culture you have set? Do they cost more/less? Do they have a higher ceiling? All those things […]

Four conference games were on tap, including a Top 10 and a Top 25 match-up, and Mississippi State headed out west to face a stingy opponent. The result of the weekend came with one big surprise, a few disappointments and one great game. Here’s what we learned from week seven of the SEC season….. Don’t […]

For the past six weeks, I have written a “what we learned” bit about the Big 12. After six weeks of learning things, I’m pretty sure we know a good amount about the conference. Now it’s time for us to rank the teams. As a real “power ranking,” my goal will be to focus much […]

Week 7 was certainly an exciting one, with many games going right down to the wire. Here are a three random takeaways from this weekend’s action on the gridiron. 1. There is no quarterback controversy at Notre Dame. As soon as Brian Kelly pulled DeShone Kizer from the lineup in the third quarter, everyone on […]

Seldom do big-time matchups live up to the hype, but we got every bit of what we wished for and more in Madison. Ohio State and Wisconsin played an instant classic, with Ohio State escaping with a hard-fought win in OT. Whew. There are going to be some busy athletic training personnel in both Madison […]

In a game that had the feel of some sort of Big Ten semi-final tilt if there was such a thing, Ohio State outlasted Wisconsin in Camp Randall in overtime, 30-23. It could be a preview of the actual Big Ten Championship Game, but that’ll take some doing on both sides. At any rate, we […]

You can probably call it “the battle for third best in the SEC West,” or you could just say, “Arkansas vs. Ole Miss,” but the Hogs (5-2) snared a much-needed 34-30 win while sending Ole Miss into the abyss of mediocrity, at least for 2016. In what was one of the more entertaining games of 2015, […]
