First, let’s give a moment of silence for the victims of the horrible shooting that happened in Connecticut. When things like that happen, it makes you reflect on life and what is important. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones; may God comfort you in your time of need. Bowl season has started, and …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Johnny Heisman, Coaching Carousel, and Bowl Games
That’s it, the regular season has come to an end. If you’re a Notre Dame fan, you’re stoked at how the whole season unfolded. If you’re an Oregon or Kansas State fan, well, there is always next year. What a way to close the season out with an exciting Army-Navy game, and in the evening we had the Heisman Trophy …
Notes From Around the College Football Nation: Big Ten BEATDOWN and The Tide is Rolling
Championship Week has come and gone, and it was a good one. Well, a good one for Alabama fans, but a weekend to forget if for Georgia fans. The SEC title game was one of the games of the year, while the Big Ten title game was one to forget. As for the ACC title game, I was going to …
Notes from around the college football nation: Notre Dame is Ready for the SEC and Sunshine Smackdown
It’s set. Thanks to some late game heroics, we will not be having an SEC vs. SEC title game. Notre Dame held on for the late win over their bitter rival USC. It was rivalry week, and boy, did we have some big games (UF vs. FSU, Clemson vs. South Carolina), and then we had some others no one even …
Notes from around the college football nation: Ducks quacked and SEC is back
It has happened. BCS chaos is back and Notre Dame can be declared back (until USC whips them in LA next week). For the first time since 2007, the #1 and #2 team have lost on the same day. One loss was not pretty while another loss is going to sting for a very long time. To add onto the …
Notes from around the college football nation: Tide rolled and Cardinals clipped
The College Football Gods have given us what we have all wanted this season. UPSETS! After the Aggies knocked off Alabama, it looks like we might actually have a title game without an SEC team in it. Will that even feel right to everyone? Louisville also fell from the ranks of unbeaten, but no one really cares about BIG …
Notes from around the college football nation: Ducks fly and Tigers cry
Another week is in the books, and BCS chaos almost happened. All teams in the Top 5 looked to be on the ropes at one point or another until they finally demonstrated their dominance. After this weekend, I am officially a firm believer that Notre Dame has their own set of refs that give them calls when they need …
Notes from the college football nation: Dominoes are falling and BCS shake up
The dominoes are falling. As this week played out, we are trimming the list of national title contenders to just a handful. The Gators got bumped thanks to turnovers, while Notre Dame and Kansas State made their case for the number two spot. As for Oregon: Gosh, let’s just hope they stay in the top 5 of the BCS. …
Notes from Around the College Football Nation: Gators Swamp Spurrier and Tide Still Rolling
After this week, we can really see who made a statement to be in the title game. We can pretty much take West Virginia out of all title and Heisman talks…welcome to the BIG-12. SEC looks to place at least two teams in the BCS…so what else is new? After this week we are definitely in for a true offense …
Notes from around the college football nation: Sooners stomp Longhorns and LSU is back…for now
If you would have told me the Big East would have three undefeated teams right now, I would have called you a liar and smacked you. Just when the Big East seemed to be down and out, they are putting on a show for college football. The Big-10 is just a mess this year and after watching its “top” teams …
Notes from around the college football nation: Upsets gone wild and Gators make statement
If you are a fan of upsets, then this is your weekend. While Alabama had the week off and Oregon cruised to an easy victory, other top teams were not as fortunate. Once again, after all these upsets happen, it’s why we play the game. Now let’s get into some news and thoughts: Oregon starts slow but finishes …
Notes from around the college football nation: Stanford stumped and Geno Smith for heisman
If offense is what you like, then this was certainly the week to be watching college football. Some teams scored so many points they made it look like a basketball score, all day and night defense appeared to be optional. With every new week it seems some new offensive player is putting up video game-like numbers, with every week …
