It’s the kind of discussion that has to be conducted in a responsible way in order for a college football season to provide a fair outcome on Dec. 7, 2014, the day the four-team College Football Playoff is announced.

Three years into the Jimbo Fisher era, the Florida State Seminoles were in rebound mode from the end of Bobby Bowden’s tenure. In 2012, the Seminoles were coming off two decent years in which they combined to go 19-8 and received bids to the Chick-fil-A and Champs Sports Bowl games. The Seminoles entered that season […]

Jeter hit a walk-off base hit against the Baltimore Orioles Thursday night in the final game he will play in front of his home crowd before heading to retirement.

Texas Tech is playing a Big 12 contest tonight against Oklahoma State. It could very well be a shootout, so why wouldn’t Texas Tech want to pack some silver bullets? Or, at the very least, some silver helmets? Check out these helmets the Red Raiders will be wearing tonight. It’s… interesting. Close up of

UCLA, OKLAHOMA STATE, NORTH CAROLINA, TEXAS A&M AREN’T WHAT WE THOUGHT THEY WERE. WE ALL HAD OUR OPINIONS OF WHAT THEY WERE IN THE PRESEASON.

Virginia will be going retro this weekend when the surprisingly tough Cavaliers take on Kent State. The helmets, as seen below, are a nod back to the Virginia football program in the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. This is not the first time Virginia has brought back this design though. Virginia wore a similarly retro-themed helmet […]

Every college football program’s staff is different from the next. I am not sure how many schools have a Supervisor of Morale on their staff, but North Carolina does. His name is Caleb Pressley.

Florida State’s 247 Sports site broke this story, and it is making the rounds at other outlets. It’s the kind of item that’s not any larger social commentary, merely a humorous coincidence in light of the suspension of Jameis Winston for the Florida State-Clemson game this past Saturday: Truth is stranger than fiction.

Bill Snyder, relative to the circumstances he inherited and the accomplishments he has forged, deserves serious consideration as one of the 20 best college football coaches who has ever lived. Ever. He’s been that great for that long at a program which used to be Rag Doll University for the Nebraskas and Oklahomas of the […]

You probably had to see this one coming. Following a blowout win over North Carolina in which East Carolina scored more points on the Tar Heels than any team in UNC history, a fresh new billboard in support of ECU was put up a few miles outside of Greenville, North Carolina. The message of the […]
