Why does the Heisman Trophy seem to shaft WRs (and even RBs) of late?

Heisman Trophy is Saturday night. Yaaaaaay. We all know the award is probably a curse professionally, we all tend to know who’s going to win about 200 hours before the TV program even commences, and this year, we got robbed (in… Continue Reading

Nick Saban dramatic walk-offs, starring Drew Tate, Chris Davis and T.J. Duckett

Originally written in December 2013. Let’s start here: Nick Saban probably won’t leave Alabama for Texas. (EDIT: Yep, he did not.) On too many different levels, it doesn’t make sense. He could probably make more money, yes, but he’s 62.… Continue Reading

One of the first bowl games, R+L Carriers, won’t get a lot of pub but it should: Joe Montana’s son, a redemption story, and more

Dr. Saturday, over at Yahoo, just ranked the R+L Carriers Bowl as the worst of all 35 bowl games. I can’t really argue; it probably is. (Also — if you care, R+L Carriers is a global trucking logistics company.) It’s also… Continue Reading

Was the Chris Davis return in the Auburn vs. Alabama Iron Bowl the greatest ending in college football history?

It may well be in some respects, given the context: you have a two-time defending champion, getting out-coached but still looking like they were headed to Atlanta for another SEC Championship and then probably on to another BCS Championship, and then suddenly you have… Continue Reading

Is Gary Pinkel the most underrated college football coach in America?

Think about this for a second: tonight, Missouri plays Texas A&M. If you had looked at this game before the season, it would be realistic to expect one team to be ranked No. 5, and one team to be ranked No. 21… Continue Reading

Nick Marshall, Georgia native and former UGA CB, can lead us out of our long national nightmare

It’s fun to watch dominance in the beginning — that is to say, the ascension to dominance. Watching LeBron go through his foible-laden paces (sweep via the Spurs, The Decision, the Dallas series) was interesting, and it made the 2012 Finals… Continue Reading
