He was released from his WWE contract this spring.

While it seems like field storming is becoming more common, and maybe it is, remember that students are only in college for a few years and many of them only attend a few games during that time. While we can say "it seems like it happens all the time these days and it isn't special anymore,"...

Thanks for sharing. One thing jumped out to me: Play-By-Play: Jac Collinsworth Ugh.

I didn't say they were identical, in fact, I acknowledged that their styles are different. But in terms of substance, they are the same. They say nothing. Any reporter who follows the team has a "pretty good idea" which players have been out, who left the last game with an injury, who's been...

I was at the game, so I don't know if this was discussed on the broadcast, but I believe that Illinois only had 10 guys on the field for the punt, with two deep and just eight on the line. Might be wrong, but I think that may have been part of what gave Crawford a favorable look.

Quick search shows that Oregon was installed as a 3 point favorite as far back as May 27.

Really? Look at the article you cited. What did Schiano say that updates the fans or the press (or the opponent) about any injured player. Schiano said exactly zero about which players are injured, which ones might play and which ones won't. All he says is that the injured players will get...

If my memory is correct, that opening line for Oregon-Michigan is from last summer, long before the season started.

I love the stadium architecturally and am envious of the huge tailgating fields. But you are spot on, the crowd was pretty quiet. Student section never filled up or got into the game. It was Dad's weekend there and, given that they haven't really been a football school historically, it never...

Not sure how that would work in practice, but not a horrible idea. Who do you envision them playing? You aren't going to get a major conference school the likes of which would normally demand a home-and-home arrangement (i.e. schools on our future schedules like Mississippi State, California...

Height checks out.

Ted Roof (DC under Brewster for a year) has been fired as DC at UCF. Here's his resume: 1987–1988 Alabama (GA) 1989 West Georgia (LB) 1990–1993 Duke (LB) 1994 UMass (OLB/DL/RC) 1995–1996 UMass (DC) 1997 Western Carolina (DC) 1998 Georgia Tech (LB) 1999–2001 Georgia Tech (DC)...

I'm in, looking forward to the trip. Can't help with any pregame spots for an 11:00am kick. I'd suggest wandering through Grange Grove. I have had good luck finding friendly folks who will offer you a beer or some food. Friday night or postgame, I'd recommend Ko Fusion or Hamilton Walker's...

I think his AD did have him prepared. He told him "if a question comes up about this stuff, don't say anything, just let me handle it." And that's what Franklin did. He just forgot to add "and don't be a dick about it." I guess you can blame the AD for that, but he shouldn't really have to...

Not really sure what you are arguing against. I am not opposed to the crossover games and agree that they would be popular. The issue is with your draft idea. Yes it would generate viewers, but so would an announcement show without the powerball aspect. And even if the powerball concept...

Can't help you with Georgia, but Minnesota has Alabama on the schedule for 2032 (home) and 2033 (away). We'll see if those games actually get played.

I just looked today. Last year they announced the dates at the beginning of November.

No, it is absolutely not bound to happen either way. Duke doesn't play Illinois or Michigan State every year, but they do almost always play: a blueblood, a ranked team or a ranked blueblood. In 24 years, they have played IU, MSU and OSU five times each and Illinois and Wisconsin three times...

I can see them going for the idea of a show announcing the games, but I don't think that they would leave the actual matchups to chance. The whole point is to generate games that will attract the most eyeballs, they don't want to risk a whole slate of Purdue vs. Alabama and Ohio State vs...

My memory on this is fuzzy, but I believe that an NFL coach did this a few years ago. Sent out 13 or 14 defenders to stop the play and burn the time. Response was a rule change where now it's a pre-snap penalty if the defense has more than 11 in the formation with the play stopped before it...
