UCLA Trying To Lure Steve Sarkisian South

Friday, December 9th, 2011

UCLA's search for a head football coach has continued fruitlessly this week as the school has already been turned down by Boise State's Chris Petersen, Houston's Kevin Sumlin and Miami's Al Golden. While Jim Mora Jr. apparently emerged as the front-runner for the job a few days ago, sources inform ...

McD’s Week 11 College Football Picks

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

What I'm watching: 12 pm: Flipping between Nebraska/Penn State for the train-wreck-watching and Okie State/Texas Tech for the O-fence. 3:30 pm: TCU/Boise State - At least, until Boise pulls away. This game has gotten intense what with all the BCS meetings and non-AQ's eating their own. 8pm: Stanford/Oregon - like everyone else.

McD’s Week Eight College Football Picks

Friday, October 21st, 2011

The only picks by an actual Indiana grad who prefers Indiana football to Indiana basketball. It's an acquired taste. What I'm watching this week (with my dad edition): 12 pm - Indiana at Iowa - I guess so my Hawkeye-fan dad can watch with me and make snarky comments the whole time. ...

McD’s Week Four College Football Picks

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

  What I'm watching on Saturday: 12 pm - San Diego State at Michigan: We'll see if SDSU can handle Denard Robinson or not. If French literature has taught me anything, it's that revenge is a great motivating factor. Then again, a lot of the SDSU players probably have positive memories of ...

McD’s Week Three College Football Picks

Friday, September 16th, 2011

What I'm watching this weekend (and notice how I'm not watching Indiana this week because I'm boycotting any game in which we play a 1-AA squad): 12 pm ET - Don't bother with the noon games this week unless you're an alumni. I'm thinking I'll take a nap. Oh hey, DVR'd ...

Jake Locker’s Stock Is Going Back Up

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

After what was classified as a disastrous performance at the Senior Bowl, Washington quarterback Jake Locker has had the tough task of rebuilding his reputation and repairing his draft stock. Apparently he has done some good work. The Minnesota Vikings have shown interest in Locker and they scheduled a private visit ...

Pac-10 Football Officiating: The Worst In Any League In Any Sport

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Pac-10 football officiating has always been bad - just ask Bob Stoops and Oklahoma how they feel about it - but now it has gotten to a point where it's just ridiculous. As Dan Weber of USCFootball.com said following USC's 17-14 win over Virginia, it has gotten to a critical ...
