Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller’s Super Bowl 50 MVP is now to college football what 1986 train-wreck Cobra is to cinema. The dreadful Sylvester Stallone actioneer was loosely based off a novel by Paula Gosling entitled Fair Game.

Baseball season is right around the corner, with pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training camps in the coming week.

UTSA football and new head coach Frank Wilson make for a perfect pairing. Since the program’s inception, UTSA has always been a gusher waiting for the right leadership to tap it. The hiring of Larry Coker as UTSA’s first head coach in 2009 gave the Roadrunners immediate name recognition; at that point, Coker was just […]
Feel better, USC fans? Less eager to see Kevin Sumlin exit College Station or Charlie Strong leave Austin, Aggies and Longhorns?
