CFB Huddle Q&A returns with a bang. Big kudos to this week’s respondents, who served up some fun questions, starting with the worst uniform in sports history. From worst to best, Q&A also takes on the best sequels in film history, and gets a little bit more into the David Shaw satellite camp comments. If […]

Georgia, Open Records, and The Façade of ‘Truthiness’
For the life of me, I can’t understand why any Georgia fan is happy about Senate Bill 323. Before I break into the psyche of Georgia fans — fraught with despair and sadness — let’s back up a bit and examine this stupid, good-for-nothing law.

Georgia Is Now Just Like The Rest of Them, and That’s Sad
The day Georgia AD Greg McGarity handed Mark Richt his walking papers was the day Georgia fans lost the high ground on moral authority. Perhaps they never had it, as the sausage-making process in college football is ugly even for those programs who try to avoid being heartless. One of Richt’s endearing qualities as a […]
NCAA Tournament Teams Suited for College Football
Every March, the NCAA Tournament attracts casual fans whose sports interest typically resides elsewhere for the other 11 months of the year. For college football fans, some of the teams that made the 2016 NCAA Tournament might seem foreign. This year’s Field of 68 featured 14 universities with Football Championship Subdivision programs, including 2015 FCS […]
#TBT: A Notre Dame Comeback for The Ages
Zach Auguste’s 19 points and 22(!) rebounds powered a Notre Dame comeback in Thursday’s ACC Tournament quarterfinal against Duke. The Blue Devils led the Fighting Irish by as much as 16 in the second half. What a comeback! Notre Dame rallies from 16 down to beat No. 19 Duke 84-79 in OT behind 19 & […]
Hiring Lovie Smith Shows Illinois is Trying, and That’s A Good Thing
At least Illinois is trying. That was the thought that hit me when I heard the Illini fired its head coach after only seven months on the job and hired Lovie Smith. Before we get to my initial thought, let’s back up a bit and explain what happened at Illinois over the last decade — though […]

Gus Malzahn, Not Kevin Sumlin Will Feel The Burn in 2016
Auburn and Texas A&M enter the 2016 season with buyer’s remorse, and thanks to risky investments both programs face the likelihood of a coaching search unless things change drastically.
It’s Impossible To Just Stick To Sports
Stick to sports. Three simple words that every writer in this industry will hear at least once in their life. The instructions are as simple as the people issuing them: You’re free to use your own Twitter account for anything, so long as it involved sports. Having an opinion is totally acceptable, but it has […]

Don’t Change The Rose Bowl Because of Playoff Ratings
The furthest thing from my mind as I strolled the golf course doubling as Rose Bowl Stadium’s parking lot on New Year’s Day 2016 are TV ratings. I navigate through throngs of Iowa Hawkeye fans. The black-and-gold clad masses, be they acquaintances or total strangers, toasted each other all around the Brookside Golf & Country […]

It’s Hard Out Here for Coordinators
Coordinators operate as college football programs canaries-in-the-coal-mine, or Uncle Elmer’s trick knee just before a tornado. Abrupt dismissal of a coordinator often suggests impending trouble, or damage control amid ongoing turmoil. The relatively short shelf-life of most coordinators is reflective of today’s win-now college football landscape, albeit at warp-speed. This week alone, four programs coming […]
