Penn State, Ray Rice and Marketing Morality

0 comments by

In light of the Ray Rice incident and high-profile allegations of assaults against women involving college athletes, I’ve had multiple conversations lately with friends about the problem of domestic violence in sports. On the subject of college-level athletes, the discussions almost always include some mention of the NCAA potentially instituting severe, uniform penalties that span all […]

Georgia and South Carolina headline the marquee in week three

0 comments by

The Georgia-South Carolina rivalry has quietly became one of the best in the SEC. Georgia owns the series 47-17-2 but over the last seven years, the Gamecocks have four wins.

Editorial Section: Coaches In Trouble, Coaches On The Rise… And June Jones

0 comments by on 9/9/2014

The first coaching casualty of the season has already arrived: June Jones is out at SMU.

0 comments by

McNeese State gave Nebraska all it could handle in Lincoln on Saturday. In a season still raw on FCS teams upsetting FBS squads, McNeese State was pretty darn close to at least forcing overtime against the Big Ten school. Too bad Ameer Abdullah came through with the longest reception of his career in the final minute […]

The only athletes that had a worse weekend than many Big Ten college football players — especially at the power programs — were Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for me to release this week’s top 25. As always, here are a couple of things to remember about my poll: This poll is a projection of where each team will finish the season. I always factor strength of schedule into my rankings.

First Number-Second Number: The Sunday Struggle

0 comments by on 9/7/2014

Last week, the arrival of the first true “morning after” of the college football season — also known as Sunday — brought forth this piece on re-evaluating various teams after one game.  There’s a unique quality to assessing teams after just one game.
