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 [...]
Should Weis be on the hot seat at Notre Dame?
Are times getting desperate in South Bend? A little over a month ago, Notre Dame was 4-1 and in position to show their worth as a Top 25 team. Now, heading into Saturday’s game against Navy, the Irish are 5-4, with their lone win coming against Washington. Charlie Weis is now taking over play-calling duties, [...]
Does anyone want to win the ACC?
Before August 30, everything looked to be cut and dry in the ACC. Clemson was the undisputed best team, and the Tigers were not only touted to be the class of the ACC, but also as a potential darkhorse national title contender, with Cullen Harper, James Davis, and C.J. Spiller leading the way. Then the [...]
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 [...]
Ladies and gents, meet Brandon Tate
Many might consider Missouri’s Jeremy Maclin as the biggest all-purpose weapon in the country, but it looks like North Carolina senior receiver/returner Brandon Tate is trying to give him a serious run for his money. In North Carolina’s 44-12 road rout of Rutgers last night, Tate had four catches for 138 yards and a 69-yard [...]
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) [...]
2008 North Carolina Tar Heels Preview: Looking to Surprise
North Carolina feels like they were not as bad as the record indicated in 2007, and they may be right. In his first season as head coach, Butch Davis saw his team lose six games by seven points or less. However, three of their four wins were by six points or less, so they could [...]
2008 Virginia Cavaliers Preview: A Rebuilding Year for the Cavaliers
In 2007, Virginia finished with a 9-4 record, but they could have just as easily finished 4-9. The Cavaliers became the first team in NCAA history to win five games by two points or less. However, a win is a win, and the Cavaliers had a chance to win the ACC Coastal Division when they [...]
2008 Miami Hurricanes Preview: Hurricanes Look to Regain Swagger
As Randy Shannon began his first season as head coach in Miami, he found his Hurricanes unranked in the preseason polls for the first time since 1998. While sporting one of the nations least productive offenses, Shannon finished the 2007 season with a 5-7 record and missed playing in a bowl game for the first [...]
