Kansas State Football is Back
The Kansas State football program is back. Not this year, but soon.
After three years away from the team, former super-coach Bill Snyder will return to coach the team next season.
Snyder was the captain and architect of one of the most impressive turnarounds of a program in college football history.
In his 17 seasons at K-State, [...]
Florida State Safety Gets Gramática’d
Florida State’s safety issues just got worse. While one safety is the epitome of smart and will miss part of Saturday’s game with Maryland due to a Rhodes Scholarship interview, another safety’s career is over after mangling his knee while celebrating an interception last week. (HT: SPORTSbyBROOKS)
You see, this genius didn’t hurt himself [...]

The BCS officially reached an agreement with ESPN for the Worldwide Leader to broadcast the BCS games for the next five years. The deal is reportedly worth about $125 million a year for a grand total of $500 million.

The Annual College Football Playoff Post
Since I began my career in the sports media covering the Arizona State Sun Devils on the radio in Phoenix, I’ve been as big a proponent of a college football playoff as anyone in the country. In my efforts to get this implemented, I drew up a college football playoff scenario that I still think is flawless.
ESPN in BCS Driver’s Seat
Fox Sports pulled its bid to air the BCS football games, taking a $100 million per year offer off the table. This move leaves ESPN as the likely only bidder, with an offer in the neighborhood of $125 million per year. Fox’s current deal expires after the 2009 season.
The negotiations are especially newsworthy [...]

Let me preface the rest of this by saying that I completely agree that there need to be more black head [...]
BCS Still Not Interested in Real Solution, Still Delusional

Oregon president David Frohnmayer said:
“We deeply respect the president-elect and we are glad that he is a fan of college football. We have the most [...]
Bad Call, Refs Cost Penn State Shot at National Championship
Penn State had their chance to play for a national championship, and had it taken away from them by a bad call.
After seemingly holding Iowa to a three-and-out with just three minutes remaining, Penn State was called for pass interference on a play that, according to the rulebook, was not pass interference.
On 3rd and 15, [...]
Michigan State Victims of Incorrect Call
Michigan benefited from an incorrect call, as they were awarded a touchdown on a play in which a player caught a pass and landed several feet out of bounds. The officials incorrectly ruled that since the Michigan player’s foot hit the pylon on the way down, it was a touchdown.
However, according to the NCAA [...]
Mike Leach Calls on Kicker Like He’s Kelly Leak
Texas Tech’s kicking unit could be called the Bad News Bears of the team, or even of the Big 12. It’s gotten so bad that their starting kicker this week may be a contest winner who the coach recruited after seeing just one kick.
The kickers Texas Tech have been using are hitting just 50 [...]
