Experiencing Fayetteville As A Bearcat

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports Football is religion. For most of the country, football is a way of life, something that people eat and breathe daily.

COWBOY FOOTBALL: Oklahoma State 58, Central Michigan 44

Brett Rojo-USA TODAY Sports I know what I said...shut up. I wasn’t all that wrong. Ok fine...the PTSD from past events was too much for me. I was wrong, but not by a whole lot. Oklahoma State started slow, but a Tom Hutton - Brennan Pressley gem gave the defense the opportunity it needed to flex a little muscle. One safety and a quarter later OSU was well on its way to a comfortable blowout and I suppose some exorcizing of the demon of the untimed down. Spencer Sanders (Ian Nikkel’s...

Southampton 0-1 Manchester United: Fernandes goal separates two sides

Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images It was a spirited effort in the blazing sun, but not to be today. Southampton could not overcome Bruno Fernandes’ second-half goal in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United on Saturday.

MOTM: Bolton Wanderers 1-4 Aston Villa

Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images He is a sexy footballer isn’t he? In my view there were a number of really strong performances against an expensively assembled Aston Villa team boasting some big names and talented players. Bolton Wanderers more than held their own for 45 minutes, and were somewhat unfortunate not to be ahead at the break. However, for me one man stood out and that is Kieran Lee. I can only think of one time in the game where he received the ball and his touch let him d...
