When all you have to talk about from the past week of action is people arguing over uniforms, coaches trolling schools, and players apologizing for trash talk … then it’s a slow week. We did have one big thing, though, with Northwestern’s football players taking a private vote about whether or not to unionize. That story will be the main talking point …
College Football Nation: Free Food and Spray Paint
Is it football season yet? I will have to ask that question every week until kickoff in August. Right now, all we get to hear about is police reports and coaches kissing pigs. We at least have the spring games going on, giving us a chance to speculate on how our teams will do come Fall. Let’s get to the news …
College Football Nation: The Bag Man and Missouri Man Down
It is a slow part of the season but this past week there has been some good reads on the back door dealings in college football. Of course it is all coming out while we are once again speaking of paying players and compensating them for their “time.” I just look forward to the season starting even if it’s more than four months …
College Football Nation: FSU Accident and Happy Valley Makeover
As the off season progresses we will have to do two things. One, keep an eye on FSU, because it seems every week they are making headlines for all the wrong and right reasons. Two, Northwestern and their unionization is not going away as quietly as the NCAA would hope for. While all that is going on, we still have some …
College Football Nation: Wildcat Union and Chip Kelly Surprises Us All
Things just got taken up a notch as football players attending Northwestern University were approved to move forward with their efforts to unionize. I am glad we have had some amazing basketball to get my mind off that mess going on. Besides the usual arrests and the Northwestern union being approved (pending appeal from the University administration), it has been a …
College Football Nation: Washington Goes Both Ways and March Madness
As spring ball is about to start, the nation still has its eyes turned toward March Madness. It has been the most exciting two days the tournament has seen in years. Not a single perfect bracket is left. Watching the underdog win and move on is always exciting. I am really pulling for a “Cinderella” team to win it all. The …
College Football Nation: Texas has Fallen and Fiesta Bowl Prisoner
Is anyone really paying attention to the college football world as March Madness is upon us? I know I still care about college football and all it’s glory, but the college basketball tournament really helps occupy the time during this slow period. I enjoy looking for the next “Cinderella” in the March Madness tournament. I think everyone likes looking for …
College Football Nation: “Saban Rule” Trashed and Clemson Changes How We View College Football
It’s a good thing we have March Madness to look forward to very soon, because this is the dull time for college football between signing day and spring ball that we dread. There is still a lot of news with the “Saban Rule” being entertained or trashed on a daily basis; we have new helmet cams to change the way …
College Football Nation: Hot Seats and FSU’s Drastic Unie Change
This is shaping up to be the summer of the hurry up offense and the attack it has come under. I am okay with coaches arguing over the possible rule change all summer and taking jabs at each other. Imagine how much bigger the Iron Bowl will be if Alabama’s Nick Saban and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn have all summer to speak …
College Football Nation: Big 12 crumbling and Les Miles likes them young
The news of Michael Sam being gay has come and gone, signing day has passed, and now we can just live off the gossip and “trash” talk amongst players and coaches until August. With no games going on there is little action to report on, unless you have Steve Spurrier as your coach. He keeps things interesting by speaking what’s …
College Football Nation: NCAA Hating on Oregon and Michael Sam Speaks Out
What a week of college football and there is not a single game going on. We have Michael Sam making headlines for being the “first” gay football player to come out publicly and now looks to make it in the NFL, becoming the first openly gay player on a roster. You have the NCAA making new rules to make college …
College Football Nation: SEC Rules and SEC! SEC! SEC!
First off, it has been a busy week for me. Not so much with National Signing Day (NSD) and paying attention to recruiting but more on the family aspect. My wife and I welcomed our 2nd child on February 1st. I know she will be a great child because she was born before the Super Bowl, allowing me to not …
