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: 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: 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: 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: 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 …
College Football Nation: Strong Rules and Johnny Manziel No. 1
Oh, the dreaded off season. What do you want to talk about? The biggest things we can focus on right now is “National Signing Day,” the ever changing Coaching Carousel, and how every team will go about re-loading after losing players to the NFL DRAFT. 1) Right now I am really impressed with new Texas Coach Charlie Strong. He …
College Football Nation: FSU Back on Top and the Coaching Carousel
What an amazing ending to the BCS. Every game was non-stop action and ended in epic fashion. The Championship game had an amazing start and a thrilling finish. With the BCS gone, we can now start the debate over the “Final Four” of college football. With the end of the season, we have National Signing Day on Feb. 5 to look …
College Football Nation: SEC Dominates and Johnny F. Does It Again
It was a very exciting week of bowl games and there were a few changes in the coaching world that will be setting off a chain reaction of other coaching relocations. I think the two biggest shocks of the week were Penn State’s Bill O’Brien bolting so suddenly and then the way Alabama was not playing like Alabama in …
College Football Nation: Cardinals Roll and Boise Beat Down
There’s only one week left until the National Championship Game. Will the SEC’s streak continue or will Florida State end their reign in the final game of the BCS era? Until that game we still have the bowl games to entertain us. Some interesting matchups but no real compelling games. This coming week, the matchups will get better and the BCS games will …
College Football Nation: Winston Wins Right Coast Heisman and Oregon Gets Left Coasted Out
Busy week for college football – not so much with on the field action but more off field action, with the hiring and firings of coaches, the Heisman presentation, and some major money being thrown at some coaches. If you want some football before bowl season starts you can catch the FCS playoffs. The lower divisions are duking it out …
College Football Nation: Buckeyes crushed and WAR DAMN EAGLE
You’ve just got to love college football. Just when you think you know who is going to play for it all . . . TODAY HAPPENS. You have FSU fans looking for flights to Pasadena after they put Duke football in its place. Stanford did what they do best and ran all over Arizona State. Auburn and Missouri …
