I wanted to take a moment to ask EA Sports to include flashback playbooks in next year's college football game. Not just formations, but entire playbooks.
Like the classic Nebraska I-option playbook would be fantastic to run since the option is back in vogue and, well, the Huskers kind of kicked ...

I think I'm going to start calling games like the USC/BC Emerald Bowl a "Pete Carroll Game." What's a Pete Carroll game, you ask? It's a cousin to the various "Mike Riley Games" (full post about that coming some day), only the Pete Carroll Game is a close game that ...

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 ...
