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 ...

San Diego State (3-0) at (22) Michigan (3-0) (-11)
The Rich-Rod Wolverines would often make games like this much too close for comfort, and the Aztecs are good enough to make Michigan fan think about bringing an extra tube of Preparation H to the Big House. If you haven't been paying ...

It's the smart play. Oklahoma was always smarter.
As predicted, Texas's sweetheart deal with the Big XII pissed off one of the other heads of the five families. Now, in return for staying in the conference, they want some "reforms" to the Longhorn Network involving high school sports and some other ...

Bob Stoops has been Oklahoma's head coach since 1999 and it looks like he's going to be there a whole lot longer. On Monday the 51-year-old coach was rewarded with a seven-year, $34.5 million extension that will keep him in charge of the Sooners through 2018.
Oklahoma's board of regents decided ...

Pitt/'Cuse make the mediocre slightly mediocre-er
The obvious news from Monday is that Syracuse and Pittsburgh both left the Big East for the ACC. Everyone knows this was a money move, since super conferences are coming, but there's no way this move really makes the ACC any better in football. The ...

College football in the state of Indiana is just fine, thank you.
You can shut up if you're about to say that Notre Dame, Indiana, and Purdue only beat one FBS team between them on Saturday. They're still 3-0 on the weekend, f**kers. And yes, I went back on my word ...

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 ...

(23) Texas (2-0) at UCLA (1-1) (-4)
Two programs meet at the Rose Bowl on Saturday that are way, way below expectations even though they're 3-1 combined. That's actually the fun part, since it's impossible to tell whether this will be an unexpectedly interesting battle or one of the worst games ...

As some of you may know, Auburn University's official mascot is a Tiger named Aubie. Yet, they also have an Eagle that flies around the stadium before football games.
And this past Saturday that eagle almost died thanks to a collision with a plexiglass window on a luxury box. We're happy ...

A study just came out that more or less proves that the college athletes so many people love to watch and gush over (especially in keeper leagues, which I only recently extricated myself from) mostly live below the poverty line because of the way their scholarships work. That isn’t to ...
