If Bill Stewart’s intention was to have Pat White use his last collegiate game to show that he can indeed toss the ball around the yard pretty well, White took advantage of the chance and ran with it. In Saturday’s Meineke Car Care Bowl against North Carolina, White saved his best for last, registering his [...]
No surprise here: Tyrone Willingham out at Washington
As a head coach, no matter what job you take, at some point, you have to win games. If you don’t, you won’t be around after a while. Tyrone Willingham won’t be at Washington in 2009, as his official departure was announced on Monday. He’ll finish out the season, but that’ll be the end for [...]

CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 4: Rivalries and non-conference matchups highlight this week’s slate

Can East Carolina keep up their hot start?
While having Virginia Tech and West Virginia in their first two games will prevent them from having a perfect record, there is a very good chance that the Pirates run the table the rest of the way. That’s what Mark Scott said in his preview of East Carolina in June. Turns out he was a [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 2: Florida-Miami the headliner for a light week
The best way to describe the second week of the college football season is that it’s one of those ‘in-between’ weeks. Last weekend wasn’t the most exciting week of college football that you’ll ever see, but it was the opening weekend of the season, which makes it a special occasion. And then next week, USC-Ohio [...]
