National Championship at the Half: Back to Even

The National Championship Game’s first half certainly delivered. Clemson and Alabama are deadlocked at 14-14 for the first national championship stalemate since Oklahoma and Florida went into the locker room deadlocked at 7 in 2009. We got ourselves a ballgame… Two more quarters to glory. Make it happen. #ALLIN https://t.co/cLxtXktBPQ — Clemson Football (@ClemsonFB) January 12, 2016 […]

But imagine, if you will, a college football world wherein the most spectacular finishes got the Steve Harvey treatment. On second thought, why imagine when I can give you just that! “Fourth-and-five, the national championship […]

Robert Nkemdiche Continues A Very Strange Season for Ole Miss Football

Everything about Robert Nkemdiche’s last few days is peculiar, which fits right in line with Ole Miss football’s 2015 season. Nkemdiche was charged with possession of marijuana following a 15-foot fall from an Atlanta hotel window. Rumors of Nkemdiche using synthetic marijuana circulated, thanks primarily to Fox Sports’ Clay Travis — rumors Nkemdiche summarily denied […]

Re-Rock The Vote: Heisman Snubs Remembered

Saturday, one of either Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey or Deshaun Watson will join the most illustrious and exclusive club of college football as Heisman Trophy winners. For the runners-up, supports may well argue their inclusion on another roster comprised of some of the sport’s all-time greats: that of notable Heisman snubs. Each of this year’s […]
