Blue Chip of the Week: Antawn Jamison
What can you say about the return of Antawn Jamison apart from, “Thank God!” and “About time!” Jamison missed the first 9 games of the season with a shoulder subluxation, but [...]

Two-a-day practices in August, offseason conditioning, the basics. What do they have to do with this week's Ohio State-Michigan game? Simple, Michigan must do the little things correctly. With six straight conference losses and a bowl birth on the line, Michigan must return to the basics.
1. Run Blocking
In the six [...]
The late 1960’s and early 1970’s marked the heyday of what would become the ultimate showdown in college football—appropriately referred to as “the game".
In a decade which signified Bo Schembechler’s initial head-coach season at Michigan in 1969, and ended with Woody Hayes last year as head-coach for Ohio State, the" [...]
This is the reason why they play the games, correct? You play all season long to get to the point where you have that one game that defines your season. Win and you are playing for the Big 12 championship. Lose and you are left pondering all the “what if’s” [...]
This is Iron Bowl week in Alabama.
The Iron Bowl is the yearly rivalry game between the University of Alabama and Auburn University.
It is the annual brother versus brother, sister versus sister, husband versus wife, father versus son, mother versus daughter in state rivalry game.
There is no other rivalry games in [...]
Thanks to Tully Corcoran, Topeka Capital-Journal, for the Jayhawk preview.
1. Pre-season talk had Todd Reesing in the Heisman mix, but he has struggled the past few games. Was that because of an injury or something else? What intangibles does Reesing bring to the [...]
Yes, there's an OSU preview coming.
The Essentials WHAT #15/16 Michigan v. Houston Baptist WHERE Crisler Arena WHEN 7:00 ESTMichigan will probably come out with the same lineup they played last game: Darius Morris at the point, Laval Lucas-Perry at guard, Manny Harris and Zack [...]
With one game remaining in the regular season, at this point every Penn State fan has one thing on their mind, and that is what bowl game will their Nittany Lions end up. When the season begins, every college football team has the same goal, and that is to make [...]
(Without Chan Gailey, Tech never lands Morgan Burnett. Think about that.)
Ah, rivalry season. It's the greatest time of year.
The Jackets will spend the first weekend of this wonderful stretch on their first real bye week (it's sort of fair to count long week after the Miami game).
But a bye week [...]
On Saturday, Virginia Tech will be hosting NC State in Lane Stadium for what will be the last home game played for some of the Hokies top players. Cody Grimm, Kam Chancellor, Sergio Render and Stephan Virgil are among the group, and are looking to make one last memory on [...]
Since Notre Dame signed the contract with NBC to broadcast every Irish home game to the entire nation in 1991—yes, it’s been that long—these games have become marathons, usually lasting well over three hours and sometimes approaching the four-hour mark.
There have been periodic references to this trend in the media, [...]
After an extremely up and down season for both teams, Purdue and Indiana finish their seasons this Saturday at 3:30 PM in Bloomington, Indiana.
Indiana began the season winning their first three games, but they have lost seven of their last eight games and have nothing left to play for but [...]
Ach: this one is late for no reason other than I forgot to post it yesterday. In keeping with our "you can't have one with the other" theme of late, Jamiemac of Just Cover appears but we forgo an Ohio State blogger on the premise that even if they' [...]
Firstly, let me just say that I will be happy if either team wins (BLASPHEMY!), given what happened to UCONN this year.
With the dawn of the UCONN game roughly 24 hours away, I can say that I am nervous about this one. UCONN fields a very competitive team that has [...]

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer decided to celebrate his team's 4-3 overtime win (in which he scored the game-winning goal) against the Tampa Bay Lightning [...]
What an absolute garbage weekend for college football. The #1 and #2 teams are ducking competition and there is no showcase games whatsoever. This might be a good Saturday to run errands. Hell even the normally interesting Michigan vs. Ohio State game is completely irrelevant. The Buckeyes [...] From the beginning of his tenure as head coach at the University of Kansas, Mark Mangino has had many obstacles to overcome, most importantly turning the fortunes of a perennial loser.
For starters, he inherited practice and game facilities that did not measure up to premier programs in the Big XII. [...]
On the eve of UCLA's biggest regular game of the season the LAT has a feature on the MJD. Following excerpts give us a glimpse of classic MJD:
So when a cluster of New York Jets fans taunted him before Sunday's game at the Meadowlands with a singsong chant [...]

Then the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?"
II Samuel 3:38
It had been my intention this evening to bring you the national games of interest. After presenting my SEC picks last night [...]
Personnel notes: Smith replaced Williams for the whole game, and the linebackers were always Ezeh and Mouton. On (rare) obvious passing downs Floyd came in for Smith. I think there may have been a few plays where Floyd subbed in for Woolfolk, too.
Formation notes: Michigan spent the whole game in [...]
