From the beginning, Chris Ault has been a Nevada guy. He got both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from there. He became the head football coach there at 29 in 1975 and has been heavily involved with University of Nevada athletics ever since, including as athletic director from 1986 to ...

According to virtually all reports, Nevada quarterback Colin Kapernick killed it this past weekend at the NFL Combine. So much so that his stock may have jumped by three full rounds.
Before the Combine, many saw Kaepernick as a third, fourth or maybe even a fifth rounder. After this weekend he's ...

(15) Nevada (12-1) vs. Boston College (7-5) (+7.5)
It's a little bit perfect that Nevada is playing the day before the last BCS game. After all, they DID screw, er, beat Boise State and ruin their shot at the BCS. And I spent the last three years absolutely loving Nevada. But ...

How, exactly, did that happen? Boise State, arguably the best team in all of college football, the most complete, well-rounded squad we've seen all year, utterly fell apart in Reno like a drunken gambler who couldn't afford to play in Vegas. Up 24-7 after the half, and with a chance ...

(17) Texas A&M (8-3) at Texas (5-6) (+3.5)
I can't say enough about how hilarious these two teams' records look to me. And I'm still sticking with my conspiracy theory that Mack Brown is done after this year. His veiled ...

Record after week nine: 96-44 (69-68-3 ATS)
12 pm ET
Illinois (5-3) at Michigan (5-3) (-3)
If only Michigan could play defense, we might have something more substantial to talk about. Worse, their future prospects don't look any better on that side of the ball, nor is there any kind of help for ...

Read my week three picks here.
Something to watch until football starts in four hours (courtesy of Deadspin commenter Hustler of Culture):
Friday Night Action: Nevada 52 Cal 31 - You're my boy, Blue! Colin Kaepernick and Nevada finally have a marquee win. This is the ...

Record: 7-4 (4-6-1 ATS)
Yahoo! league record: 7-9
Noon ET
(15) Georgia Tech (1-0) at Kansas (0-1) (+14)
What a terrible time for the (already) beleaguered Turner Gill-led Kansas squad to play a brutally effective Georgia Tech team. That 6-3 loss to North Dakota State was bad enough, but now Gill's essentially talent-less team ...

Following Nevada in 2009 was pretty much like life. You start off small, bloody, and screaming (0-3 start), then you do some stuff in the middle, maybe make a name for yourself in your own little corner of the world (top rushing team in the nation, play close with Boise), ...

After three games that left a lot to be desired, though MTSU/Southern Miss wasn't too bad, we've finally made it to three games that absolutely are worth watching. I'm not gonna blow smoke up your ass about these games being so amazing that you can't miss them, but I promise ...
