College Football Roundup: It’s not funny anymore, ACC
This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State). I’ll leave the [...]
Prince out at Kansas State, Patterson next?
And down goes another head coach from the collegiate ranks. While Phil Fulmer’s exit from Tennessee has drawn plenty of ire since it was announced on Monday, I don’t think there will be too many people shedding tears or gnashing teeth about Ron Prince’s resignation from Kansas State. It’s pretty simple why Prince is done [...]
Another top-10 team bites the dust on Thursday night
If you’re a ranked team, and you’ve got a potentially dangerous Thursday night game left on your schedule this season, you should probably start doing all you can to petition to have your game moved. It’s been a season full of upsets so far, but little ol’ Thursday night has kicked off the upset specials [...]
Separated At Birth; Bowden Fired, Tuberville Not Far Behind
You know how that old urban legend goes?Out of the blue, a woman feels a sharp pain in her left forearm. Three thousand miles away, a brother she never knew she had slices his arm in a wood-cutting accident. They simultaneously sense a connection and ultimately share a tearful reunion after discovering there’s a sibling [...]
Saturday Shuffle: Upsets, upsets, and more upsets!
The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn’t it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems to [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 5: Oregon St.-USC, Georgia-Alabama headline this week
Last week, college football TV viewers were treated to a few exciting matchups (LSU’s last-minute win over Auburn), some big performances (Javon Ringer’s 200-yard day against Notre Dame), and a dud or two (Florida putting Tennessee over their knee in Knoxville). This week, there are quite a few intriguing matchups. We’re starting to really get [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 4: Rivalries and non-conference matchups highlight this week’s slate
After an exciting week last week, there’s no game that’s the caliber of USC-Ohio State, but there’s not a letdown in the least. This weekend’s slate offers up several rivalry games, a few key early conference matchups, and some good non-conference showdowns as well, and it all gets started tonight. That’s right, tonight, which is [...]
Saturday Shuffle: Arizona State falls, ECU survives, Ringer runs wild, and more
There were other games on Saturday besides USC-Ohio State? Well, I’m not sure how much of a game that beating was, but back on topic! It was a wild, action-packed day, which started with a top-25 team from the Pac-10 going down and ended with a top-25 team from the Pac-10 going down, one of [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 3: It’s the big one!
After what amounted to an in-between week produced a couple of upsets and a few more near-upsets, this week is the one we’ve been waiting for. There’s the big one, which really needs no introduction (but I’ll be doing a preview of it anyway), but you’ve got plenty of action before (and during and after) [...]
Tuberville not tipping hand on Auburn’s starting QB
Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said he would go right up until game time on Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe before announcing his starting quarterback between Kodi Burns and Chris Todd. Todd, a JuCo transfer, and Burns, a sophomore, both expect to play in the No. 10 Tigers’ opener, as confirmed by offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Both say [...]
