Imagine my surprise when I open my Google reader this morning, expecting most of my news to be about the exceptionally high amount of sports figures leaving this world far too soon, when I see none other than our once proud head coach, Brady Hoke, staring back at me from my screen. Like many BSU [...]

Normally, coaches are fairly mum on the circumstances which necessitate their removal as an institution’s football leader. Sometimes it is by the University’s choice, and others, like in the case of Brady Hoke, it is the choice of the coach himself. Nearly a month after that choice was made, and Hoke has began the task [...]

This was one of the more ho-hum weekends in college football, as evidenced by the lack of change in the Top 15 of the BCS. The season is winding down, and some teams are beginning to believe again while others are realizing that their season or in some cases, their career, might be over. Some [...]

Well, well, well. Quite the little weekend in this little sport known as college football. Epic finishes in the Big 10, Notre Dame going down in 4 OTs to Pitt, and maybe the best game in recent memory as Texas Tech said “Yarrrr!!!” to Texas’ number one ranking.

Frankly, a weekend where several Top 10 teams don’t lose leaves me feeling a bit unsatisfied. Last weekend, the bloodlust meter was satiated beyond belief, but this Monday, something’s missing… namely a Top 10 team to mock and chide for shatting all over the bed.
