You may have heard that we have a little tackle football game coming up on Monday Night.  The second version of the College Football Playoff National Championship matches top ranked and undefeated Clemson and second ranked and 1-loss Alabama. These two schools actually have a lot in common.  First, is Clemson Coach Dabo Sweeney who […]

The Second Edition of the College Football Playoff gets underway today with two semi-final games matching Oklahoma and Clemson in the Orange Bowl and Michigan State and Alabama in the Cotton Bowl.  Technically it’s the Goodyear Cotton Bowl because nothing says Cotton quite like tires. When the idea of the College Football Playoff was hatched, […]

I’m just going to say it at the risk of offending someone.  Soccer Moms are killing sports in this Country.  You know the type.  They drive mini-vans and can only take their kids to Chick-Fil-A.  They are also the ones that insist that their kids get trophies for just showing up.  Youth sports play a […]

The College Football Regular Season comes to an end this Saturday with the final game, the 116th meeting between Army and Navy in Philadelphia.  I heard someone this week call it the greatest rivalry in all of sports.  First, I’m not sure how you would even quantify what the greatest rivalry is, and if the […]

With all due respect to the Army-Navy game next Saturday (and it does deserve our respect), the College Football Regular Season ends this weekend.  And if you love College Football like I do, then you need to remember the year 1992.  That’s long before I-phones, I-pads, tablets and smartphones.  Yes, that’s back in the day […]

The College Football Season goes way too quickly.  Other than a handful of holdover Regular Season Games, and Conference Championship games next weekend, this is it for most of the country’s 120 plus FBS teams.  Thus we are closer to what I call our long national sports nightmare which begins just after the NCAA Tournament […]

We all think of Thanksgiving as time for Football and yes, it does hold a special place for the Holiday.  But, Thanksgiving has become increasingly known for College Basketball.  Once upon a time there were only about two Thanksgiving Week tournaments, the Maui Invitational and the Great Alaska Shootout.  Both tournaments still exist, but the […]

The Southeastern Conference loves to portray itself as the best College Football conference in the nation.  They trumpet the 8 straight BCS championships that the conference won, the multi-gazillion dollar television contract with CBS, and ESPN bending over to create the SEC Network which frankly I’ve yet to understand.  Who the hell wants to watch […]

College Basketball season tipped off on Friday night and it will be mostly non-stop between now and the first Monday night in April when the NCAA Championship game is played in Houston, Texas, which is exactly what hoops junkies wait all year to see College basketball is a great game that suffers from some internal […]
