Colin Cowturd

How I despise ESPN’s radio programming, and though they won’t give a turd, I am exercising my right to change the channel. There was a time when that’s about all I was listening to, and then Cowherd made the “Tornado Bait” comment and I was a little nonplussed, not really ticked off, but it was [...]

Lightweights Show Mettle

Arizona St and Boston College showed, for the first time this season, that they’re not pushovers. Yes, they’re both undefeated, but between the two of them they had only played a smattering of worthwhile opponents. That changed somewhat Saturday, with ASU beating Cal and BC beating Virginia Tech–in the final minutes of the game, no [...]

FanU

Okay, I’ve signed up for the FanU sports-specific social networking site, and I am not only underwhelmed but mildly aggravated. It’s an interesting concept, but they’re shoving their sponsor (Alltel) in my face at every turn. That idiot ‘Chad,’ the Alltel spokesperson (who is supposed to be the cool one in those commercials) is automatically [...]

The Super Conference College Football Top 25 Poll

These are the top 25 teams of the NCAA (unaffiliated) Super Conference according to wins. Note: The teams in this poll do not adhere to the tenets of the Super Conference scheduling system which ranks teams based on schedule equality and wins alone so therefore these standings are purely speculative based on the inherent inadequacies of their current schedules. For [...]

Super Conference Primer
The idea is simple, really, and it would cure what ails college football today. No more would a Utah or a Boise State vie for an undeserved BCS game just because they went undefeated in the regular season. And, with the increased level of competition the title game would not be in question. Teams in [...]

How to Fix the BCS

I know I’m in the minority here, but I am not a proponent for a playoff. People argue that college football is the only major sport without a playoff, and they’re correct, unless you count the season itself, which winds out like one long playoff to reach the championship. No, a playoff isn’t needed in [...]

Best College Football Team Ever?

What’s the best football team ever? Well, statistically since 1915 no team has won more games than the Crimson Tide. Woot! And what would I love to see now? Nick Saban win some games so that in 2015 I can repost this message and say that Alabama is the winningest program in the last hundred years. [...]

Why Oregon vs. South Florida isn’t a bad thing

In this new age of parity in college football isn’t it about time we get to see some new faces (who actually deserve to be in the Big Game)? Don’t try to sell me on Hawaii, who want recognition for being undefeated but haven’t played, and will not play, any remotely competitive teams through the [...]

BCS Football Championship Prediction

So much grumbling about South Florida being ranked #2 when it should be OSU at #1 that has us bitter (us being college football fans). I keep hearing gripes that the game, if these two teams were to win out and play for the National Championship, would be lackluster and wouldn’t draw much of an [...]

Ten Reasons Some College Football Teams Need To Update Their Uniforms

As an Alabama fan I use them a lot to make some arguments because they are a traditional power who have gone through very few uniform modifications over the years. Here’s the list:

Alabama’s New Look (for one game)
Bama played a game in ‘06 with an slightly modified jersey which sported a Houndstooth collar to commemorate Bear Bryant’s 315th [...]
