By this time next week you will be happy or sad for multiple reasons. Your favorite team will have taken the field and either given you hope for the season or made you dread the rest of it. The majority of fans will witness their teams feasting on early-season “cupcakes.” A few teams will step up to the plate in …
Oh my goodness, two weeks until kick off and then we can finally quit all of this quiet time and bring the noise. Then we can start figuring out if the SEC will be re-re-re-re-re-re-re-repeat as National Champs or if someone else will steal the spotlight. I know for one thing, Texas A&M needs this season to get …
Three weeks until kickoff and the action is heating up. However, for some, specifically Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the only near-term action he will be seeing is in the court room. The NCAA has their hands full at this late hour thanks to the “Johnny Football” autographs mess. I think the NCAA needs to swallow their pride and start …
We are less than a month from kickoff and I am SO excited for football season, you?. So many questions will start to be answered once the ball has left the tee. Will the SEC win yet another national title or will someone else finally steal the spotlight? Will another Heisman winner show up out of the blue? Come the …
What a week for college football. I saw so many football highlights of hard hits this week on television that I thought the season was already here. The biggest debate this week was who should be ejected for certain big hits over the last few seasons? Of course the controversy was South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney from last year’s Outback Bowl. …
After this past week of media days, the SEC and Coach Spurrier have given us plenty to talk about. We still have yet to see the Big Ten, Pac-12 or Big 12 media days but I can’t imagine them being as “chaotic” and quote filled as the SEC’s were. While we wait for those other media days, we can tune …
Football is still forever away but something fun and interesting is about to happen. Media Day is quickly approaching for most major conferences. This is where some coach or player will say something controversial about a certain game and have everyone talking about it for the next two months. I am putting my money on South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier …
First off, I want to wish everyone a happy Independence Day weekend. Glad there are those who serve and protect our country so we can enjoy the freedoms we do. My thanks and appreciation go out to our service men and women, because of them we can enjoy such things as college football. July is a crucial month for the …
As summer builds, so does the police blotter of athletes being arrested. Oh the joys of the off season. Oregon fans had some great news this past week from the NCAA Committee on Infractions. This could be one of the best teams Oregon has ever put together and now they’ll get a shot at the post season thanks to a …
It seems like right now all we have to look forward to is hearing about lawsuits involving the NCAA and a few select schools. We are also hearing more reports of coaches trash talking one another, recruits committing to schools (even though they will flip to another school in three months) and other random things going on to entertain fans …
I recently got one step closer to kick off - just purchased my Athlon Sports College football preview magazine. Once I have that magazine in my hands, life is good. It makes me realize the season is almost here (even though it is forever away). We still have so much to talk about. The recruiting trail for middle school kids is …
During the football season I actually feel like a sports writer, so many games to report on and weight in on. Right now over the summer, I feel more like a gossip columnist. It feels I am filling you in more on “leads” and “coach said, recruit said” kind of things. Well I guess that is the world and off season …
