I'm not worried about the Beavers - unless they are in my creek and at work. I've seen too many openers where I had elite football fairies dancing in my head, only to realize that Ohio State had a long way to go. The NCAA has cut practice time, so it is really hard to get a team fully ready...

I might be jaded by some recent experiences, but I would never underestimate the ability of parents or grandparents to go into a parallel reality in order to protect them from the painful truth that their beloved little boy is really a (fill in the blank with whatever is bad). But this thing...

This.

I have been a Burrows fan since I saw him play in HS. He had something like 60+TDs and 1 INT his senior year. I saw him, with my own eyes, throw 40 yard passes on a rope on time - and that induced some "wows" because you don't see that in HS ball that often. I also saw him run and scramble...

I hear you. I'm not going to spend hours looking up and interpreting statistics that will probably do nothing more than expose me as a liar. I like to try to simplify the complex, so with this it sounds something like this: basketball is a sport that relies on skill and athleticism; it is a...

You can't create an incorruptible system, especially when there is so much money flowing through CBB, but there are things the NCAA can do to make it better. The definitions of "amateurism" and "student-athlete" need to reflect the circumstances of 2018, not 1918. Getting rid of one and done...

Who was that team that played Sparty today and what did they do with my Buckeyes?

Today's news from Texas helped me with some perspective - I hope. But I had a lot of stuff rolling around in my strange head last night. My first thought was the game was an example of how powerful a positive force momentum is when you have it going for you, and how devastating it is when it is...

Actually, all of BN owes me a thank you. I won that game. For Clemson and Oklahoma I made my sacred Mexican been dip and we know what happened. I considered just altering the recipe, but decided to forego it altogether, and the results speak for themselves. Lol. You're welcome.

So glad our guys pulled it out. For 3 qtrs Penn St was riding unicorns and pooping rainbows. I thought we were going to lose to this new way of playing football. Hint to Urban: find a soccer fairy sitting in the student section who can kick the damn ball through the end zone from the 35. Seems...

When I see stuff like that, it always reminds me of Mike Tyson's quote when he was knocking everyone out in the first round: "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth." We tend to treat our assumptions about sports in general, and CFB in particular, as true because we assert them...

I don't care about Penn State. They are an irritant. I recognize that they are a quality team with a good coach. Considering that I expected them to be dead for a decade or more after the NCAA sanctions, I find it amazing that they find themselves where they are, and I give them credit for...

I think Ohio State is much improved, but because they have faced Army, UNLV, Rutgers, and Maryland we still don't know whether the offensive problems are fixed for when they face an outstanding defense or whether the DB's can hold up against a good offense. That judgment will be made after the...

I love me some Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt. Give me that every week and I'm good. Give me Beth Mowins when I'm bad and need punished.

I feel bad for Nebraska. Their coach is Magoo and they are a shell of their glory days. And they know it will probably get very ugly this week. But if I were them, I'd look at the Oklahoma film and understand that Ohio State is not that far removed from that dog shit performance, and that...

That turtle soup tasted good for dinner.

My uncle lives in Lexington and is a big Kentucky fan. When Cal was hired, he asked me, "How long until the program is on probation?" Everyone (with a brain) has known what is going on since Cal got there. You sign half of the top 10 players every stinking year, and they are all coming...

There is a basic economic law and human nature at work here: there are about 15 kids or less in the country every year who can affect a team's chances of winning a national title with their talent. You have a low supply, but there are 30-40 schools who can potentially win a national title with...

I am really looking forward to this game. Assuming we get the yips out of our offense and the DBs come along, the roles are reversed from last year. Ohio State loses early like PSU did last year, and they can just work on themselves without the pressure of national expectations. Penn State...

I'd settle for a nice margin of victory achieved by some nice secondary play and an offense that moves the ball efficiently. But 6351-0 works for me too.
