"Now what?" is what most Michigan fans are thinking today. What happens now? Ninety days seems like a long time and August seems even longer. In this day and age, we don't like to wait. We want answers and answers fast. The NCAA doesn't work that way. They are slow and make people wait. USC has been waiting five years to figure out the Reggie Bush situation. The thing we do know is this won't ...

The Pac-10 Conference has placed, at the very least, two teams in the NCAA Tournament every single year since 1985, when the field expanded to 64 teams. According to the "experts", that very trend might be in jeopardy this season.  Sure, this season the national media does not have a team like UCLA hovering around the top five, or a team like Arizona, which has reached the NCAA Tournament in 25 straight seasons, but the teams ...

Setting : 1776 N. Broad Street is the location for an Atlantic 10 showdown between Brian Gregory’s Dayton Flyers (18-8/ 7-5) and Fran Dunphy’s No. 18 Temple Owls (22-5/ 10-2). Plot : Urgency is the theme for Dayton. At one time, the season held promise for the Flyers. Now, they find themselves in seventh place in the A 10 standings.  Temple seeks to keep pace with Richmond for the regular season conference title. The Owls have ...

Utah running back Matt Asiata has been granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA earlier today. The 5'11", 230-pound senior missed 21 games over the past three seasons due to injuries including eight games in 2009. His best season came in 2008, although he started only one game (vs. Utah State) which he recorded three rushing touchdowns, he did play in 13 games that season. His numbers were fair for a pass based offensive, leading Utah ...

It is gratuitously early, but hey, why not? USC is a rather easy pick here for the title game. It would be even easier were USC not losing most of what remains from their heavily hyped but ultimately underutilized and underachieving crop of RBs (Joe McKnight et al.), and also guys from the OL as well, and were they also not losing Damian Williams, who basically was their only consistent playmaker at WR since losing ...

When Tim sends me something to consider, there aren't any follow-up questions. He won't say it, so I will: he's got a strong sense of college football history, especially as it pertains to our shared undergraduate experiences at the University of Florida. He's also a long-time friend. Just yesterday, he sent me a video clip of one of college football's most infamous plays. And wouldn't you just know it, the Gators were involved. Holding an insurmountable lead in the final ...

The U.S. achieved a first in its Winter Olympic history yesterday, but the U.S. also woke up to see its medal lead shrinking. Germany, the medal winner from the 2006 Games in Torino, is nipping on the U.S.'s heels. Coming down to the final days of the Vancouver Games, the medal race has become a two horse race. Can the U.S. hang on? What did both countries to yesterday to pull away ...

Before we start, let me say I am one of the few people in this world uniquely allowed to judge people on their Wonderlic scores. I took a Wonderlic Score for a bank teller job I applied for in Breckenridge, CO. And make no mistake, the thing is really, really easy. See for yourself. Once you're done with that, come on back and chuckle with me at the predicted scores of the quarterbacks taking the Wonderlic for ...
