Florida State-ment: Seminoles’ Heisman Campaign the Start of a Trend?
It's on the tip of every pundit's tongue across the country,
"Heisman Campaign? Bad idea."
In the era of self-promotion and inflated egos, where football players like to place area codes on their eye-black, sign footballs with a sharpie after scoring a touchdown, or perhaps even point out an opposing QB about to get leveled post-interception, one thing has become clear to the fans and the media: hype drives excitement—and in the information age, we want more of it ...
College Football Predictions: Power Ranking The Big 12 Running Backs
The Big 12 is home to many offensive playmakers.
Strong, explosive players capable of changing the entire complexion of a game in a single play.
The most intriguing of all offensive skill positions in the Big 12 is, arguably, the running back position.
Many are primary weapons for their offense and play an integral role in how much success their team ultimately achieves.
With six teams finishing with at least eight wins last season expect the Big 12 to ...
Ex-Oregon Duck Jeremiah Masoli Isn’t Done Yet: Where Will He Be in 2010?
Jeremiah Masoli cou ld've been considered one of the greatest Ducks quarterbacks ever. He could've been ranked among the likes of Dan Fouts and Dennis Dixon.
But as any Ducks fan knows, Masoli got the boot earlier this year. His first offense was second degree burglary, then lying about it to cover it up...which obviously didn't work.
Chip Kelly suspended Masoli from the football team for the 2010 season, which would mean he could've played his senior year ...
College Football Pre-Season: Non-Conference Scheduling Widely Debated
Normally this time of night is spent at home going after every sports story I can get my hands on to see what everyone is talking about. That's usually my routine.
Tonight was a tad bit different because a radio host in the Dallas area had Texas football fans hopping mad. Now, those of you who know the host I'm referring to know that he has a tendency to get under the skin of his listeners. ...
College Football 2010: Five Must Wins for South Carolina
Here is a list of the five games the Gamecocks must win for two reasons. Not just to get to the SEC Championship game, but to prove to everyone out there that they are for real. Even if the Gamecocks don't get to Atlanta to play for the SEC Championship, winning these five games will impress just as many people.
The SEC never fails to be impressive, and a few of the ...
Hurricane’s A Brewin: Why Miami Will Play For A National Title This Year.
Nestled in the beautiful city of Coral Gables, Florida a storm is starting to brew.
Head Coach Randy Shannon who has received plenty of criticism for the results of his first three years in Miami has managed to amass a plethora of talent for the Hurricanes. Not since the 2002 season has "The U" been able to boast a squad loaded with so many players we will probably end up seeing on Sundays.
Miami is currently ...

2009-10 SEC Basketball Review: Ball Hogs
The [long-awaited] second edition of this unveiling is the Minutes per Field Goal Attempted category.
This portrays the SEC athletes most willing to throw up a shot, regardless of circumstances. This isn't necessarily a bad thing: with a solid percentage, this could be a huge benefit for a team. Take a player with a bad percentage, however, and this becomes a huge detriment.
Like the previous list, only one school doubled up, with Ole Miss taking the ...
Tradition: What Have You Done for Me Lately?
When was the last time you looked at the list of the teams with the most National Championships?
The top two teams on the list: Princeton and Yale.
Tradition doesn't make winning a birthright. Coaches must win now, or risk losing their jobs. One losing season opens eyes, two puts you on the hot seat, and usually, there isn't a fourth.
Today's conference champion could be tomorrow's cellar dweller, and in a world of musical coaches ...
Michigan Wolverines Football: Bitchiness in The Big House
Michigan's announcement that "The Big House" was now the biggest stadium in college football, and willl now house 109,091 soon-to-be miserable fans—was greeted with some derision.
Our favorites? "If Penn State decreased their seats to eight inches, Beaver Stadium would hold 174,333. If Michigan increased to 13 inches, 67,631 seats." @OnwardState " So there will be over 109,000 miserable bastards in The Big ...
