Not all rumors are created equal. Monday has come and gone, and Les Miles is still the head coach of LSU. Whoever put word out of him being fired probably wanted a little recognition on their twitter account. It just shows the power of social media and how fast rumors can spread. The only real news this past week is …

Good news: spring football is almost upon us! We can now get a sneak peak at what to expect for the fall from our favorite teams. A lot of the nation will be paying attention to certain schools to see how new coaches are with their team along with incoming freshmen possibly making an impact. Alabama should still be loaded …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Miami Scandal and More Expansion
If you’re a fan of college football…then go check somewhere else because it is that slow time of the year. If you are a Miami fan, then you have a lot going on because of this whole botched NCAA investigation. The NCAA could be in store for a major overhaul depending on how the ball rolls with the Miami investigation. …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: SEC Not Paying Enough and Oregon Making Changes
Recruiting is over and college football down time has begun…unless you are Nick Saban. He gets to spend the next couple of weeks going over police reports and seeing if he can still keep these players on the Alabama payroll for another season. I hope he takes a stand and kicks them off the team…he does oversign…so it’s not like he …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Ole Miss on a Roll and a Recruiting Recap
Signing day has come and gone. If you’re an Ole Miss fan, you likely think you just won a national championship, while other schools felt like they lost the big game.

Notes from Around the College Football Nation: Expansion Rumors and Shaq Hosts Recruits
Signing day is almost here, college football’s version of the NFL draft. It gives fans a chance to see how their team is filling their offseason needs, and possibly put the pieces into place for a title run.

Notes From Around the College Football Nation: NCAA Stinks and Recruiting Visits
As signing day approaches a few questions come to mind…how many Oregon recruits will be left after Urban Meyer is done raiding them all? I bet the NCAA is wishing the Miami mess would go away, because it keeps getting worse, with more evidence turning up. Anyone want to bet that #1 recruit Robert Nkemdiche will sign with an SEC team? …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: The Notre Dame Mess and Chip Kelly the Eagle
So what did we miss? We have Te’o’s girlfriend coming back from the dead, Oregon’s head coach finally made his exodus, and more conference realignment news.

Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Season’s Over and the SEC is Still #1
The season is over and we all can at least agree on one thing….Alabama is good! I don’t think anyone could have matched up with them in the title game this year. In other news, coach Chip Kelly is back at Oregon. He probably feels 2013 will be the year to end the streak of SEC national titles. 1. Did …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Chip Kelly to the NFL and BCS Madness
Another amazing week of bowl games. The bowls started with some SEC domination, but at the end it was the SEC who was being dominated. That will send a lot of mixed signals for predicting the title game tomorrow. The only conference that has excelled this bowl season is the WAC. San Jose State and Utah State won their bowl …
Notes from around the college football nation: Navy sunk and Beavers hooked
Another week is in the book and bowl season is still full of entertainment. Yes, I am sure we could get rid of any bowl game matching up Air Force vs. Rice, but at least we saw some cool uniforms being sported by Air force. On the other side of the day, we got to see Texas vs. Oregon State. …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Duke to the SEC and Bowl Season in Full Swing
Bowl season is still going strong after another two bowl games end in great fashion on Saturday. I don’t know what it is about bowl season, but every team plays like there is no tomorrow (but there is, the Mayans were wrong). If every game continues to keep coming down to the final drive or final play, then we are …
