The draft scene in Nashville was bizarre and wondrous, a little New Year's Eve celebration mixed in with Music City honky-tonks.
NASHVILLE -- The NFL clearly spares neither expense nor square footage when it comes to its annual draft. But tucked away behind swaths of black cloth, just off to the right of the massive main stage for the draft, is a tiny room where possibly the most fervent work is done.
The college football season is officially over. But that won’t stop some of us from watching Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s post-national championship
So this year’s College Football Playoff Semifinal games were great. Right, guys? OK, maybe not great. Actually, not even good. But like any hard-fought contest, there were highlights and lowlights — just enough for us to put together some super semifinal superlatives for your postgame pleasure.
The weather outside might still be frightful, but fear not because the College Football Playoff preview we are about to break off for you is super delightful.
Instead of a final week of my Games of Note column, I have decided to spice things up with a college football championship preview — superlative style because I firmly believe there is a game for every occasion and also because in the Bay Area, we just dance a little differently (lightweight Mac Dre reference).
And it all comes down to this: the final regular-season countdown. It's my last chance to boss you around and tell you which games to watch before they all make the must-see list.
“Damn the wheel of the world, why must you continually turn over?” Leslie Knope said that once in an episode of "Parks and Recreation," but I like to think it applies to our current college football situation.
I was wrong about LSU beating Alabama. There I said it. Are you happy now? Sure the Crimson Tide entered the game a favorite, but no one, I mean no one, could have predicted Alabama would completely shut the Tigers out.
Now that we have become accustomed to the craziness that is college football each weekend, this past Saturday offered a lot less shock value. Sure, Texas
I can’t believe we are just five short weeks away from the end of the regular college football season. Thank you, guys, for sticking with me on this crazy journey.
Well college football, you did it – now everybody is officially mad. Cue Drake’s “I’m Upset,” and put it on repeat until next weekend because the word upset is now a college football vibe — for some fans it’s a noun, but for the rest it’s a dirty little verb.
This college football season can be defined by only one word so far: epic. And Week 6 kept with that theme, giving us an absolute track meet of a Red River Rivalry game with Texas outlasting Oklahoma 48-45 and ultimately determining that the Longhorns are back — like Backstreet Boys back.
College football in Week 5 was kind of a mixed bag — some games fizzled out before they even really started, some games never got off the ground and only a handful offered true edge-of-your-seat entertainment.
If you are still feeling a Week 4 college football hangover, don’t worry. You are not alone. The collegiate gridiron itself was a little tipsy with near upsets from teams like Army and Iowa, an insane comeback from the Stanford Cardinal as well as program history made by Old Dominion with its 49-35 win over No.
We are officially one-fifth of the way through the college football season. And while for some of us, it already feels like a lifetime of games we can’t get back, nothing has happened that can't be undone.
Week 2 of the college football season left us feeling all warm and fuzzy after watching both Kentucky and Kansas snap decades-long streaks. The Jayhawks 31-7 victory over Central Michigan ended a 46-game road losing streak dating back to a September win at UTEP in 2009.
Week 1 of college football has come and gone, revealing some teams' true colors but also confirming things we already knew to be true. We learned that
College football is back. Like Herm Edwards back. Like Chip Kelly back. And while this first week’s slate of games is short, just four tantalizing morsels of collegiate gridiron goodness, it still marks the beginning of all that is good in the world.
In the college football world, summer means one thing: preview time. Whether it’s an examination of your favorite player, a sneak peek at your preferred team or an in-depth guide to the conference of your choice, the months before kickoff are flooded with first looks.
