Back in 2001, Bob Stoops was the hot name on football’s coaching carousel. Oklahoma’s head coach was a year removed from winning a national championship in just his second season in Norman and clearly had the Sooners on an upward trajectory after a decade-plus of wandering the desert. When the news broke that winter that […]

The college basketball season officially began last Friday, but it unofficially began Monday night with the ESPN Tip-Off Marathon. The sprawling event concluded late Tuesday after over 29 hours of basketball. That is a lot to digest. To help you wrap your head around the action, we are going to break down the winners and […]

No. 11 Wichita State took down Memphis and the highlight of the night was Tekele Cotton driving the lane and throwing down a dunk in traffic….

Nice takeaway by Martin and nice avoidance of a block by going to the other side and throwing down the hammer. The Tigers would go on to defeat Texas Tech in OT…. Jarell Martin throwing down a windmill in the PMAC

The Champions Classic in Indianapolis Tuesday night was just that — it felt like a collection of heavyweights, and the product in no way disappointed… unless you’re a member of Rock Chalk Nation. The matinee, featuring Duke and Michigan State, gave us an opportunity to see a Blue Devil team that has nine McDonald’s All-Americans, […]

The College Football Playoff has changed the game, although we may still be attempting to determine if it is for better or worse. One thing I do know about the College Football Playoff despite a single game under the new format being played is this: the coaches’ poll may be the most irrelevant thing in college […]

Talk about a once in a lifetime play. Wow! Unfortunately for the Jaspers they couldn’t get it done in overtime as UMass won the game 77-68

The SEC West remains a very tough division. The real issue raised by a number of its losses the past weekend is, “Just how much does an SEC West team’s strength of schedule change in light of week 12’s results?” More to the point, how did the past weekend affect the College Football Playoff prospects […]

While the preseason No. 1 ranking has been a recurring reality in Lexington, Kentucky, there has been a bit of a role reversal this year with the Kentucky Wildcats and John Calipari. This is what can make Big Blue’s 2014-2015 squad so special. Calipari, who annually brings in more McDonalds All-Americans than Ronald McDonald actually […]
Jake Waters and the rest of the Kansas State offense were noticeably sluggish against Iowa State. This Thursday, the Wildcats expect to play several notches better than they did against the Cyclones, and that’s merely a starting point for the showdown against Auburn. KSU must at least come close to its best performance. Anything average from the Wildcats, especially on offense, will almost certainly lead to a loss against Auburn’s turbocharged “Gus Bus.”

The coming Saturday of games in college football is the annual SEC Cupcake Saturday (Non-) Showcase. This takes the air out of the balloon as far as the season is concerned. However, Thursday offers two highly important games: North Carolina-Duke in the ACC Coastal is one. The centerpiece, though, is a Big 12 showdown between […]

You don’t see many Eastern Michigan basketball highlights, well at least I don’t, but this one is definitely worth checking out. EMU beat Oakland 89-77 and Karrington Ward posterized this poor kid for the rest of his life…. Oh and gotta love the homer announcer….”that’s a facial!”.

The Heisman leader, Marcus Mariota, and the Oregon Ducks were idle this past weekend. Last week’s runner-up, Dak Prescott, had a rough outing as his Mississippi State team fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles continued to struggle in the first half but deliver the goods in the second […]
