It’s the stuff of science fiction to most, but the story goes that an old woman was making a pottery bowl when Christ raised Lazarus from the dead and his voice was recorded into the object. It’s more of a fringe lunatic […]

It’s hard to believe the muff heard ’round the college football world was a month ago. Michigan, then the team that lost with four of a kind Kings that day, now suddenly keeps winning with a pair of 10s, at best. Most are probably surprised Michigan is here … an Ohio State win at home […]

Alabama wins up front and on the ground

When Alabama has faltered recently in SEC play, and that has been rare over the last five to six years, it has been predominantly to quarterbacks who have the ability to get outside the pocket and run.

North Carolina State and Wisconsin get buckets… of cold water

The first day of the college basketball season featured many buckets… including the buckets of very cold water which drenched a number of ambushed programs. It’s always a part of early-season college basketball: New faces and new lineups in a sport played by only five human beings at a time will create November instability. That’s […]
