However, it […]

The Cotton Bowl faded into relative obscurity over the past two decades, due to the death of the Southwest Conference and a reshuffling of the New Year’s Day bowl lineup. Beginning in the latter half of the 1990s and continuing for a number of years, the Cotton Bowl was moved to a late-morning kickoff for […]

The Orange Bowl’s reputation and stature took at hit in the Bowl Championship Series era. Think of Louisville-Wake Forest in 2007 and Cincinnati-Virginia Tech in 2009 in terms of buzz. Consider 2010 Iowa-Georgia Tech and 2012 West Virginia-Clemson in terms of attendance. This was not the same kind of event it was in the early […]

The St. John’s Red Storm are 11-1 and ranked #17 in the country, providing flash backs to the days of Lou Carnesecca and Big East battles at Madison Square Garden and in Queens. The end of 2014 and start of 2015 will provide quite a challenge for the Johnnies as they head into conference play, […]

Wow! CMU scored this miracle TD but then failed on their two-point conversion after scoring 34 consecutive points….
Where will Mike Gundy coach in 2015? The outcome of the 2014 Bedlam game could very well provide the answer.

After reading Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder’s recent comments about Mike Gundy, it would be hard to imagine a more bizarre working relationship in major college athletics. The money passage from Holder’s interview with NewsOK.com columnist Berry Tramel: In the past, Holder and OSU coach Mike Gundy have disagreed over scheduling. Gundy prefers a […]

A personal opinion: Christmas Day should shelve the sports. No day during the year should be more reserved for quiet time and a respite from frantic commercial activity than Christmas Day. * end of personal opinion* With that having been said, football fans who are at least 35 years old almost certainly recall the days […]

He’s making a list. Checking it twice. Studying kickers and when he should ice. Santa Coach is coming… to town. * HO, HO, HO! MERRRRRRRRY BOWL SEASON!

The story of any sporting event — the central measure of meaning found in one night’s athletic competition — is sometimes found in the how and the why of things. How did one team dominate the other?

Loyola Marymount might only be 3-7 this season (and yeah they lost the game) but at least they have this highlight….
