Before I move into what is on my mind this week, I wanted to say that no matter what happens the rest of the year in sports through the NCAA Basketball Tournament in March, it is going to be hard for anything to top the World Series, and in particular Game 7 between the Indians […]

We will get them next year.  That’s been the battle cry for long suffering Chicago Cubs fans forever, or at since 1945.  In my opinion, there isn’t a better baseball city in this country than St. Louis, who absolutely loves their Cardinals.  There’s probably not a more passionate baseball fan base than Chicago Cubs fans. […]

Now past the halfway point of the College Football Season, the experts are projecting ahead to the 4-team College Football Playoff and who might be in and who might be out.  Like they know?    Right now the general school of thought amongst those “experts” is that of the Power-5 conferences the one that will be […]

Halfway through the College Football Season and there’s no question that among the surprises thus far is Virginia Tech.  The Hokies were predicted to be about a mid-range team in the ACC’s Coastal Division as they made the transition from 29 year coach Frank Beamer to new coach Justin Fuente.  After last week’s beat down […]

If you took at look at the A.P. Top 25 this week you might have noticed some names in the poll that frankly haven’t had much success lately, but rank among College Football’s power programs.  We can debate whether, with a playoff committee picking 4 teams to participate in the playoff, the A.P.

[…]

There are a few truisms about College Football Coaches.  One is that they are extremely paranoid.  They are always concerned that someone is going to find out their game plan for a certain game all while never really considering that what they do is already on tape for all to see and most of the […]

Can you name the winningest Division I football program over the last 5 years.  If you guessed Alabama, you’d be wrong.  In all fairness it’s kind of a trick question as Division I includes both FBS and FCS programs, which makes the correct answer, the Bison of North Dakota State. Since 2011, and including the […]

You may have seen by now the finish to Saturday’s Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game.  I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not an Oklahoma State fan, but they were basically robbed of a victory on Saturday.  If you don’t think it could have ramifications down the line, assume for a minute Oklahoma State wins the […]

You may have heard that there’s a little tackle football game happening this weekend in the middle of a race track.  And, if you don’t know that Virginia Tech is facing Tennessee in a field constructed in the middle of the Bristol Motor Speedway you have either been in a coma for 3 years, or […]
