College wasn’t a particularly enjoyable financial experience for a lot of students. For many, the most dreadful part of the week was hearing all the fun stuff your friends were about to invite you to do because you were going to have to tell them you couldn’t afford to go. So when I heard about […]
The landscape of college football has been littered with interesting and powerful stories this past week. On the heavy side of things, Texas Monthly’s report on Baylor and Art Briles’ silence over Sam Okwuachu’s sexual assault was an in-depth examination of how the culture of football has become a greater priority than the health and safety […]
Last Wednesday, a new batch of documents released in the case of former USC assistant Todd McNair case. Among the many items contained in the documents obtained by the Orange County Register were emails between several high-ranking officials and Committee of Infractions (COI) officers discussing the handling of this case in a rather shady way. […]
I write this commentary on alcohol sales at college football games on a picturesque, California Saturday. It’s just below 80 degrees, perfect to drink a beer on the beach. The only problem: alcohol of any kind is banned on the beaches of Southern California, the local municipalities’ response to beachgoers getting wasted and acting the […]
Friday Q&A returns from its brief hiatus, with a rather interesting set of questions. It’s certainly one of the more diverse Q&As hosted in this site’s brief history. If you would like your question answered, or at least addressed, tweet @cfbhuddle or @kensing45, or email [email protected]. @kensing45 your thoughts on the Gawker union and how […]
Big 12 Conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Wednesday that the league will not start a new round of conference realignment, despite carrying just 10 members. The last era of conference realignment threatened the Big 12’s very existence, with members departing for the Big Ten and SEC, and Texas leveraging its clout to ostensibly take the […]
The debut CFBHuddle.com Podcast is here, just in time for…the five-month point until college football season. Ok, so we’re still a long way out from fall, but spring football is enough to whet our appetites in the interim. The USC spring game last Saturday kicked off a campaign of promise and hope ahead of head […]
Quarterback Cody Kessler and head coach Steve Sarkisian talked about areas of progress evident in USC’s spring game. CODY KESSLER STEVE SARKISIAN The play of the wide receiving corps was the story of the afternoon, which is certainly a positive sign for Cody Kessler heading into 2015. Kessler is an early front-runner in the 2015 […]
Friend of the Site Aaron Torres wrote a hilarious breakdown for Fox Sports on why your rooting interests in this weekend’s Final Four should be firmly against the Duke Blue Devils. You likely don’t need me to tell you that Duke basketball is viewed as the villain of the hardwood, a role the program’s played […]
Those in high-profile sports have a unique platform to reach the masses, and USC athletic director Pat Haden is using his to impact societal change. Pat Haden announced Tuesday that he is taking a stand against Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s grandstanding by skipping the College Football Playoff committee meetings in Indianapolis. I am the proud […]
Your brain could probably stand a break from college basketball for a moment. What better way to exhale from March Madness than reading on the triple-option, Shawn Oakman, breakout Pac-12 players and more? Oh, so much more, in fact. Friday Q&A is picking up momentum in its third week. Yes, I know how much most […]
Yours truly participated in a roundtable discussion for The Student Section today, in which I tabbed Ohio State’s Cardale Jones as the Power Five Conference quarterback around whom I would build a program. Read on for my reasoning why, though with Big Ten and College Football Playoff championships to his name, it shouldn’t take much […]
Video of Oklahoma fraternity members gleefully singing a racist song surfaced over the weekend, leading to a prompt response from the university — and from Oklahoma Sooners star linebacker Eric Striker. @rustysurette Eric Striker pic.twitter.com/8peRCzBrI6 — IrishSooner (@IrishSooner) March 9, 2015 Oddly, there was more contrition coming from Striker and the Sooners football team as […]
Perhaps the most significant addition to Oregon football’s 2015 roster came a week after national signing day. Eastern Washington star quarterback Vernon Adams announced via Instagram Monday morning that he is headed to Eugene, where he will presumably be the front-runner for Oregon’s vacated starting quarterback job. Oregon it is! First off, I want to […]
Say what you will about Katy Perry’s brand of pop music, but her Super Bowl halftime show was not short on entertainment. The frenetic energy of her performance at University of Phoenix Stadium provided a fitting intermission to one of the most raucous Super Bowls ever. After her outstanding showing on College Gameday at Ole […]
