Ok so the last time I did this was before the spring games. Now that’s all past and players have transferred and quit teams. Some have been kicked off others injured beyond a point of being able to return this season. I have read numerous spring game reports and now some from the fall camps. I have read preview magazines this summer and watched some preview shows on tv. Then there was College Football Live almost ...

There’s a certain breed of fan out there—a group very much unlike the rest of us.  C’mon football fan, you can name plenty of fans that are like “nails on a chalkboard” to you.  Allow me to go all “Lewis Black” on this blog and explain what I mean, in the form of the top seven types of fans that drive me crazy...** 7. The D-Fence FanSigns are a common sight at sporting events.  People ...

Every Thursday I will give an update on everything that is happening with South Carolina's football team.   Geathers Injured, Length of Suspension Still Undetermined As of today, DE Clifton Geathers is still suspended indefinitely for his fight with a bouncer at Club Ice on Lady Street Saturday night. Even if he weren't suspended, he would still miss the NC State game and maybe the Georgia game with an orbital fracture suffered in said fight. “The big thing about ...

  People who live here know that California is a hard state to leave forever.  There is always something that pulls once-inhabitants back to our sunny beaches, slightly varying seasons, and ever-striving liberal ideas.  While the housing market does it best to repel owners from permanently staying in this beautiful state, the many that leave often desire to return and eventually find a way to make it happen.   Shayne Skov was born 19 years ago in San Francisco ...

With the release of the first AP Top 25 Poll, we look at the teams that will climb and fall by the time it is all said and done in the ACC and SEC. The final rankings never look anything like they did in the preseason.  Last year, Georgia started the year at the No. 1 spot before falling to No. 13 to close the season. Teams like Mississippi and Georgia Tech weren't even mentioned in the ...

No matter how many ways you slice the 2009 season, the writing is clearly on the wall in the SEC—Florida is the chosen one.However, what if Florida stumbles along the way and Georgia, well, doesn't?Five things would need to happen to put the Dawgs in the coveted slot that many are already holding for Florida. Anything is possible. I mean, the games do have to be played before someone can crown a champion, right?Last I ...

After four days of talking about fake quotes, women's basketball practice and ticket sales, I figured I would take a shot at talking about football. I mean this isn't a sports blog and kickoff isn't nine days away or anything like that but whatever.With the loss of our top two tailbacks and our starting fullback, there were a lot of spots on the two-deep up in the air. Add in the fact that incumbent starting ...

Mark May and Mel Kiper Jr. weren't available for comment on the bleacherreport.com Notre Dame page so I had to settle with my own evaluation of the 2009 Irish schedule. The degree of difficulty isn't at its traditional level but there's plenty to fear over the next four months if your a faithful follower of The Dome. We'll start with the No.12 team and work our way up over the course of two articles.  For your ...

Location: Norfolk, VA Nickname: Monarchs Conference: Colonial Athletic Association Last Year’s Record: 25-10 Old Dominion Center Gerald Lee   Why They'll Make It With five starters returning, the Monarchs are ready to break the Virginia Commonwealth-George Mason stranglehold on the conference. They weren’t that far away last season, finishing only two games out of first place. What helped them to such a successful season was it’s frontcourt. Led by all-conference center Gerald Lee and athletic swingman Ben Finney, the Monarchs ...

The hardest thing for sports fans to do is to choose the "best ever" at anything. Stats are misleading, generation gaps are unavoidable, opinions are endless, and certainty is almost nonexistent. That said, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes were without a doubt the best college football team of all time.  It would be foolish to just simply list the accomplishments of the team. Fans know they went undefeated with an almost 33-point margin of victory on their way to ...
