Gonzaga’s exhibition against Western Oregon comes with a direct line back to Mark Few’s earliest coaching days. Western Oregon’s new head coach, Ryan Orton, is the son of Doug Orton, the high school coach who hired Few for his very first coaching job at Creswell High School in the mid-1980s. Few ran the freshman team […]
Detailed. Accountable. Relentless. Touch. Toughness Those are the words Fran Brown’s program lives by and while some of you would debate this, I think that even in the last four games that Syracuse has held up to those standards….the first one though has been lacking and it’s killing the Orange. Syracuse was blown out as […]

Not long ago, the possibility of Penn State’s trip to Ohio State would be a #1 vs. #2 match-up seemed likely – perhaps inevitable. However, what was forecasted as the biggest game of the regular season has lost its luster thanks to the Nittany Lions 0-4 start in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes will be […]
Betting Line: Ohio State -20.5 | O/U 44.5 Both Ohio State and Penn State got the week off prior to their matchup in Columbus this coming Saturday. The Buckeyes have won each of their first seven contests in convincing fashion, while the Nittany Lions, who were once national championship hopefuls, sit at 3-4 with four-straight […]
Much of the blame (that’s not already attributed to the coaches) for UNC’s poor start to the season has been laid to rest at feet of the offense. And rightfully so; UNC’s offense ranked 132nd out of 136 FBS Division 1 schools in yards per game coming into the matchup against Virginia. They only fare […]
You know the scene. A coach stands there in the sideline, the game is already well in hand. Unfortunately, it’s not this guy’s hand. He’s losing this one, and there’s nothing he can do about it. “Phil Fulmer’s special elastic buffet pants!” you exclaim, “what must that poor guy be thinking?“ As usual, I have […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Holy Fuck Purdue! Knights 27, Boilers 24 With the ball and a chance to either win or play for overtime, Purdue chose to instead fumble in its own territory, letting Rutgers kick a field goal for the win. BoilerUp89: Purdue and finding new and exciting ways to lose […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies got a big win yesterday over a solid Illinois team and in attendance were several official visitors the Huskies are trying to nab heading into the December early signing period. Here are a look at some of the official visitors as well as some big names in the 2027 […]
The Notre Dame hockey season is well underway with new head coach Brock Sheahan, and are now sporting a 3-2-1 record to start the year. Robert Morris was the second of a pair of two game home series with out of conference foes… and the Irish just missed the sweep. From the ND press release:
Give South Carolina credit. I had wondered coming into the game how much juice they’d have left, having lost two straight and four overall. There isn’t much left for them to play for other than pride, but they showed some last night and had Alabama squarely on the ropes. It was their Homecoming game so […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had their sixth straight loss of the season on Saturday, losing 21-7 to the No. 6 Oregon Ducks on the road. After being shut out in two uncompetitive games against the Iowa Hawkeyes and No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes, it was a much different attitude from the Badgers on Saturday, as the […]
SEATTLE — After losing to the Washington Huskies on the road, the Illini fall to 5-3 on the season, a record that will likely put them out of reach of making the College Football Playoff. The narrative surrounding Saturday’s game was that it was a playoff elimination game, meaning that if either the Illini or […]
After one of the most enjoyable second halfs in my history of being an Aggie football fan, Texas A&M enters the bye week at 8-0 after a 49-25 thrashing of the LSU Tigers in Death Valley. Here are some of the numbers that tell the tale. Salient Stats #BTHOmizzou!
Heading into the Penn State game next week, there’s a lot to feel good about on both sides of the ball. We’re spending our bye week revisiting some of the team’s best plays through the first seven games this season. Offense Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is widely considered the best player in college football, while […]
There is nothing from this game that is worth taking the time to write about. Unacceptable. Inexcusable. Embarrassing. The worst performance of the P.J. Fleck era. Au revoir. Let it rip in the comments.
The Miami Hurricanes (6-1) covered the spread in a 42-7 win over the Stanford Cardinal (3-5) Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium. The ‘Canes are still alive for the postseason even after a 7-7 halftime tie against a ‘bottom 30’ Stanford squad. The Canyonero Keys for Miami theme was to caveman the Cardinal to death. […]
Late late on Saturday night/early on Sunday morning, I was looking for information on when Miami-SMU would be played. In this search, I went on the ACC’s official website, and came across some information which is good to pass along. Following up on this, with all games placed and published officially on the ACC’s website, […]
The season hasn’t officially started yet and we don’t have a really good grip on who Tennessee will start. Fortunately, this guy from Rocky Top Insider does, and Ryan Schumpert thinks this is their starting lineup Sunday night: Notably, Okpara is the only returning starter. Both Gillespie and Boswell are transfers, as is Jaylen Carey. […]
Today was a first for me. Yes, I am sure you all want to hear about it. At halftime I took my dog to the track to run around. I took some headphones with me and I ended up walking around the track and I listened to the first half of the third quarter on […]
As of week 8, 2025, Oregon is coming off back-to-back weeks in which their opponent hit a field goal from 50 yards or more. Do you remember the last time Oregon hit a 50+ yard field goal? Andrew Boyle hit from exactly 50 yards last season against Michigan State. In the last ten and a […]
For the second week in a row, the Tar Heels had a chance to win the game late and were right at the edge of the goal line with it in their hands. Also for the second week in a row, they failed to get across the line, causing their opponent to win. For the […]
Good morning, Canes. Let’s start the day the right way. Miami blows out Stanford 42-7 Miami exorcised some of the demons from last week’s loss with a resounding 42-7 blowout of Stanford. This game had a bit of a slow start, but once things got rolling, Stanford was no match for Miami in any area […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough 21-7 loss to the No. 6 Oregon Ducks on Saturday, struggling to gain momentum offensively on the road in a tough environment. However, it was one of the defense’s best performances of the season, as the team held a top-10 offense to just 21 points by mitigating the overall […]
