College football has started in earnest, and we've already had a ton to talk about: top teams getting blown out, the SEC going all SEC on the rest of the country and star players easing into the season.
There is always a buzz surrounding the first weekend of college football. In years past, we usually were treated to a ton of cupcake games mixed with a couple of neutral-site matchups.
The coordinator job in college football is usually a temporary one. If you are good, you quickly get scooped up for bigger jobs. If you are great, you end up with a head coaching job somewhere.
The beauty of college football is that there are so many playmakers of all sorts, that each week we are treated to a variety of great performances. Whether
Most people think of college football as a stream of spread offenses and gifted running backs. This year, defenses could take back some of that star power.
College football is here again! The pageantry and traditions that we look forward to year after year are back, and so are some of our favorite players.
The college coaching carousel went on a wild ride after last season. Jimbo Fisher left Florida State for Texas A&M. Willie Taggart then bolted Oregon after one season for the Seminoles.
The 2018 NBA Draft is over, but the war rooms of all the 30 teams are still moving and shaking. While 60 players just found out where their first NBA home will be, many others just became undrafted free agents and general managers from all over the league are working phones trying to get that diamond in the rough.
In this day and age, it is difficult to truly say someone should have balked at a chance for a professional basketball career and instead stayed in school.
The NBA Draft Combine begins on May 16. It is a pivotal event for the dozens of college players who have declared for the draft but haven't signed with agents.
We are down to four teams vying for the 2018 NCAA Tournament championship — four completely different teams that got to this point in four different ways.
Here we are at the Final Four. The stage is literally bigger (hello, Alamodome!), and the stakes are high. While the tournament has been fun so far, this is championship-winning time.
All four schools in this year's Final Four have tasted the height of college basketball success. Each has won the NCAA Tournament — some did it long ago (Loyola-Chicago in 1963) while others are back once again (Villanova in 2016).
What another wild week of basketball! Half of the twelve games were decided by five points or less and the final game went in to overtime. Both of Villanova's games were decided by double digits, but both were tough contests most of the way.
What a wild first week of the NCAA Tournament. We had it all! Buzzer beaters, upsets, big time performances and people shredding their brackets all over the country.
There aren't too many things in sports that can match the excitement and chaos of the first two full days of the NCAA Tournament. Thirty-two games tip off with college kids from every corner of the country facing off in eight arenas spread all across the nation while we, the fans, sit in awe.
There are two main themes during the NCAA Tournament: the road to the Final Four and Cinderellas shocking the nation and busting brackets. Cinderella can take on various forms.
The brackets are out, and now you are sitting in front of a computer screen or with a pencil and a printed version of your bracket trying to figure out who to pick.
One of the best things about the NCAA Tournament is we get introduced to some great players and great stories. That includes stars we will see playing in the NBA one day as well as those mid-major studs who you may not have heard of before.
March Madness is one of the few events that truly connects the past with the present and future. As every new tournament begins, each team feels the validation of a good season but also has visions of making a huge statement in the dance.
NCAA Tournament history is filled with great performances that for a few weeks in March captivate us and place players into the national spotlight. Yet for every Danny Manning, Steve Nash, or Steph Curry who go on to big things at the next level, there are guys whose stars shined brightest during March Madness.
This past weekend, the NCAA displayed its preliminary bracket, which consisted of the top four seeds in the four brackets. There were zero mid-major schools among the 16 selected.
It may seem like the dog days of the college hoops season, but while the weather is cold outside, the play is heating up on the hardwood. Conference season is going strong, and we've already had some big games go down with a bunch more the rest of the way.
With the college football season ending with a walk-off touchdown pass in overtime by a backup freshman quarterback, it's time to turn our college madness focus from the gridiron to the hardwood.
When we get to the New Year's Six bowl games, we are seeing the best of the best. Not only do they include the two bowl games that comprise the first round of the College Football Playoff — this year, the Rose and Sugar Bowls — but four other bowls that match up the best of the best.
