Posted by Husker Fan on August 27 2009 Add Comments
In the photo shown here, once again we see the Oklahoma Sooners celebrating their sixth Big 12 Football Championship, and third straight, after last year's 62-24 pasting of the Missouri Tigers.

Thus as we roll into the 2009 Football season, the ...

Well, This Should Be Interesting: How USC’s New QB Affects Ohio State

Posted by Buckeye Commentary on August 27 2009 Add Comments
With his announcement this afternoon that Matt Barkley will be USC’s starter, and not just for one game, Pete Carroll effectively ended the offseason’s most intriguing quarterback race.  Check that, the only intriguing quarterback race. This means that one of the most talented teams in the country is (largely) placing its annual dreams of winning the national title in the hands of a true freshman.  Read that sentence again.  That takes balls, people. Say what you ...

It has come out recently that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh had a $70,000 custom bathroom put in the athletics office.

You can judge coaches on a variety of things. On how they recruit, how many games they win, bowl game wins, etc. I however, choose to judge them on a different scale. This may surprise you, but it just happens to be on the kind of tail they pull. Any coach can win a football game. Not everybody can win a football game then come home to a hottie like these. So without further ado, here are the ...

Last season, the first year of the Bobby Petrino era saw quarterback Casey Dick set many passing records at the University of Arkansas. Granted, UA has not exactly been known for throwing the football since Joe Ferguson took his act to Buffalo in the early 70's. In fact, the last few years of the Nutt era brought an annual passing ranking in the 100's out of 119 NCAA schools in the top division. While some fans ...

The WAC Vs. the Big Six: 10 Potential Upsets in 2009

Posted by D Miller on August 27 2009 Add Comments
While most teams within the BCS conferences have the luxury of lining their out-of-conference schedules with cream puffs from the lower conferences (or even divisions), those in conferences without an automatic BCS berth have no such luxuries. In order to have even an outside chance at a prestigious bowl berth, teams in the WAC, Mountain West, Conference USA, etc., have to not only schedule ranked teams outside of their conference, but also hope the rest of their inter-league ...
