Tubby Smith is not what one would call a “typical” hire for a program with Memphis’ stature and aspirations. That’s a definite part of why a lot of Tiger fans didn’t immediately embrace the decision to bring him aboard (even though many certainly accepted the larger situation). When it became plain that Gregg Marshall, Buzz […]

Georgia Should Name Jacob Eason its Starting Quarterback

Georgia’s spring game reaffirmed what many of us already knew: Jacob Eason should be the starting quarterback for the Bulldogs in 2016. This comment is almost certain to raise a few eyebrows.

Congratulate Chris Beard. We’d all do the same

Chris Beard took a job shortly after taking a different job, a week, to be exact. People got really, really mad, which is odd, because in general, “people” would do the same thing.

5 reasons to Watch Ohio State’s Spring Game on Saturday

Satellite Camp Riff Raff will only help Harbaugh in recruiting
