On Saturday afternoon, perhaps the worst NFL team ever to make the playoffs in the modern era will take the field against the defending Super Bowl champs. Are the Seahawks bad? Yes. Utterly god awful? Check. Lack star power and dynamic playmakers? Touche. So why on earth would any sane ...

Pittsburgh (7-5) vs. Kentucky (6-6) (+3)
I don't know. Really? This is the game that's supposed to tide us over until the national championship game? There's really no way they couldn't have played this bowl back in December? People might have watched then, you know. We didn't have playoff football and ...

(11) Louisiana State (10-2) vs. (17) Texas A&M (9-3) (+1)
I don't think Michigan and people who are speculating really know what the Wolverines would be getting if they hired Les Miles, making the Cotton Bowl his last game with LSU. Has Miles been a man who has been able to ...

Let me start this post off by saying that I've been incredibly impressed with what Jim Harbaugh has done as the head coach at Stanford. I mean, how could you not be? That said, some of the reports flying around about his future prospects are almost absurd.
After meeting with the ...

With Jim Harbaugh seemingly not interested in the Michigan job, that has left everyone (including us) speculating as to who would take over for the departed Rich Rodriguez. Yesterday we stated that San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke had to be the top candidate given the available options, but ...

Congratulations to Barry Stanton.
And no, I'm not referring to the oldie British rock-n-roller who know tours as a geriatric across Australia. I'm talking about Barry Stanton, the news editor for ESPN.com.
ESPN made public the ballots from its 18 employed Hall of Fame voters. That’s right, ESPN has 18 HOF voters. ...

Reports are swirling today that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh is not interested in heading to Ann Arbor to take over for Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. Apparently it will be the NFL or staying at Stanford for Harbaugh, which leaves Michigan in an unenviable position.

"Whatever happened to all the season's losers of the year?"
- Cheap Trick, Surrender
