While blessed with the Cardinal Mobile with 4-wheel drive, dealing with lane upon lane of Maryland drivers who can’t drive in [...]

And while I wish we had all day to celebrate and mock since we have victory numero uno, part of me falls along the “Act Like [...]

Apologies for the delay this morning… stupid real life. We’re back now, though, and playing catch up for most of the morning. The weekend itself was noteworthy more for what didn’t happen (Tennessee not getting destroyed, USC struggling, etc.) than for what did, but it’s another weekend over. Thankfully, the time for teams to load [...]

It’s the preseason, I get it. And thus, any story remotely centering on college football will get eaten up by the rabid masses of fan bases looking for any and all relevant stories to somewhat sate their bloodlust for college football news. So any reaction at all to any story doesn’t surprise me. I can [...]

As I perused the morning news on the interwebs about Ball State, most had to do with the failure of the Humanitarian Bowl to broker some sort of deal with the Cardinals about heading west and playing Boise State. Not surprising was the number of news outlets that picked up the story, and the general [...]
