The NCAA is in the Christmas Spirit

The NCAA is very strict when it comes to showering players with money and gifts; however, come bowl season do they ever make it rain.

Marine dies in argument over Big 12 game

At the end of the day, college football is just a game. Now I am as passionate a fan as the next guy, but sometimes fans take their passion a bit too far for no other reason but to brag presumably for a team they didn’t even play for.

London to UVA

UVA wasted no time in traveling to Westhampton Way to knock on the door of Richmond’s Mike London regarding the Cavaliers’ head coaching vacancy. UVA pressed hard and came strong by immediately offering the coaching job to London to replace the departed Al  Groh–and word on the street is, he is going to take it. London was UVA’s first choice and for all intensive purposes, their only choice. This is the most logical move as he was an assistant to Groh’s staff for six...

ND snubs bowl, season over

After a rocky 6-6 season and the departure of head coach Charlie Weis, Notre Dame announced it will not go bowling this season. The Irish’s AD Jack Swarbrick stated that considering “unique circumstances” it is not in the best interest for ND to play this post-season. Thus, the season is officially over.
