I love College Basketball and the NCAA Tournament is the best three weeks of the year, but there’s something special about College Football Season. By January 1st, most College Basketball teams will have played almost 12 games before diving into their conference seasons. College Football on the other hand provides just 12 guaranteed opportunities for […]
Week two of the College Football Season actually began last night with something I’ve never seen before. Fox Sports 1 broadcast the Louisiana Tech-Western Kentucky game by using announcers that were in a studio in Los Angeles with an on-site sideline reporter. I’ve never seen any network do that on football. Now it’s happened on […]
My “day job” has got in the way of posting this week, but hopefully I can get back on track. Just listening to the call-in shows this week reminding me of that children’s story about Chicken Little who just knew the sky was falling. That’s the thought process with about 1/2 of the fan bases […]
A couple of things are fairly obvious from opening night. Stay away from large point spreads and Vanderbilt is back to being Vanderbilt. I guess it’s time to declare Colorado as god-awful since they were a seven and a half point favorite at Hawaii and lost by 8. Oops. Just one of a many I […]
The long summer is finally over and real live college football is back.

Somehow I don’t think a Thursday night battle in […]
So with out any further fanfare, here are my thoughts on the rest of the “Power Five” College Football conferences as well as the American Conference, which I personally believe is the best of the other “Group of Five.” In fact, outside of Boise State, there isn’t another “Group of Five” team that can challenge […]
I was going to launch into my thoughts about the Southeastern Conference today, but frankly in light of what happened his morning in my hometown of Roanoke, Virginia and at one of my former places of employment, WDBJ Television, it’s just not appropriate. We can get back to fun and games later, but today is […]
When the College Football season kicks off next week, Florida State will be going for its fourth straight ACC Championship. In 23 years in the Conference, the Seminoles have won 15 championships. Add in National Championships in 1999 and 2013, it’s clear who is the most dominant team in the league. And they should be, […]
This is my first attempt at joining the “blogging world”. As I am really nothing more than a frustrated sports talk show host and writer, I’ll use this as my outlet. I’ll start by telling you what I do not intend this space to be. It’s not a discussion of politics and religion because those matters should […]
