Speculation about possible 14-or 16-team “super-conferences” has college football fans hoping their programs will benefit from the massive changes and not be left out...

Gundy fires carpenter for wearing Oklahoma gear, faces lawsuit

Team loyalty in the ranks of college football is second to none and a carpenter from Choctaw, Oklahoma now knows too well.  Back in March, Oklahoma State football head coach Mike Gundy hired a contractor to do over $80,000.00 worth of home improvement projects to his Stillwater home.  On the day the project began, one of the carpenters, Brent Loveland, unwisely showed up to Gundy’s house wearing a gray Oklahoma baseball t-shirt.  Upon seeing the rival shirt, coach Gundy just...

The barbershop talk this morning is all about the disappointing week 2 in the ACC. To start, #13 Virginia Tech and Coach Beamer were a complete embarrassment being shocked and upset by James Madison University 16-21 in hostile Lane Stadium. The Hokies showed no signs of discipline turning over the ball 3 times and QB Tyrod Taylor was unable to garner any offense during the upset. Kansas quickly turned last week’s upset loss to North Dakota State into a...
