Ten years is a long time. Ten years ago this time, I was a four-foot, ten-inch fourth grader celebrating my two-week holiday break from school. Ten years ago, Michael Vick had taken the sports world by storm, carrying Virginia Tech to an unbeaten season and national championship berth against mighty Florida State. Ten years ago, Ron Dayne broke Ricky Williams' all-time record for rushing yards in a career. Eleven years ago, Williams set that record. In the ...

Second only to deciding the best way to determine the National Championship (play-off, polls, etc.), is there a bigger debate year after year among college football "experts", pundits, fans and know-it-all’s than the question of "which is the most powerful and dominant Division I conference in college football?" The "conference" being every team in the conference - top to bottom. So how do we determine what conference is the most powerful, the most dominant, the most ...

The University of South Florida has already made the call to Eric Dungy. He's a wide receiver at Tampa's Plant High School. He is a USF recruit. With the firing of Jim Leavitt, USF Athletic Director Doug Woolard needs to make another local phone call. He needs to call Tony Dungy. Needs to ask. Needs to offer him the vacant USF coaching position, needs to give Tony the opportunity to coach Eric at USF. Sounds like a longshot, doesn't it? Amidst ...

Several hours before one of the best weekends in college basketball gets underway, there is still the matter of deciding which teams are the best of the best, and which teams are the worst of the worst. Although there are many exciting matchups to look forward to Saturday, such as Georgia at No. 3 Kentucky, No. 4 Duke at No. 17 Georgia Tech, and No. 13 Connecticut at No. 12 Georgetown, many teams are simply ...

The Liver had no intention of writing this, but... A. as we aren’t currently in therapy; B. have received countless unanswered texts, emails, phone calls, etc. over the last 24 hours worrying for our safety yet demanding that a piece like this be written; C. have driven an unknown number of aimless miles today through the L.A. streets staring through the dashboard while listening to Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight,” Hank Williams Sr’s “Lost Highway,” Johnny Cash’s ...

The argumenative nature of the college football game lends itself to never ending discussions regarding who is the true national champion. Boise State won 14 games this season and lost none. The closest margin of victory was seven points, over undefeated Texas Christian in the Fiesta Bowl. Without a playoff system, there will always be a debate concerning who is truly the strongest team in the nation. If you began following college football in 1998 or later, as ...

Now that the Alabama Crimson Tide have given us another "undisputed" College Football National Champion, (I feel you Boise State because if any 'major' college football program had the resume you have for the last five years; they would have earned a share of the national title like USC did in 2003) it is time to gaze into the Crystal Football and take an early look at the 2010 Pre Season Top 25.  This article will simply list the ...

This is the second slideshow on all the talent Charlie Weis had coached on offense. In case you didn't see it, this was the first team for the All Weis Offense. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/321043-notre-dames-all-weis-offense. After doing that piece, I knew I had to put together a second team. There are only 11 spots and there was too much talent left off. So here is the second team for All Weis.Begin Slideshow

With his kingdom quickly crumbling all around him, the King of L.A. is leaving A Better L.A. to start A Better Seattle.  Maybe. No, not maybe he isn't leaving.  That's a done deal.  But maybe he won't make Seattle that much better. Pete Carroll's timing couldn't be any better...or worse, depending on how you look at it. If Carroll had left after last season, he would have sealed his legacy as one of the greatest college football coaches ...

  Quick, someone knock some sense into Pete Carroll. And while you're at it, on the way back around, slap him a second time for good measure. This move defies all logic; so much so, that I'm sure Aristotle just twinged a bit in his ancient grave. The idea that Carroll is even contemplating leaving the University of Southern California to become the next head coach of the Seattle Seahawks is certifiably insane. However, according to a plethora of sources, ...
