Every 2025 Conference USA Championship scenario

Entering the final week of the regular season, not a single conference championship race is settled. Conference USA is one of the more simpler races to follow. Heading into Week 14, there are still three contenders alive in the 12-team league — Jacksonville State, Western Kentucky, and Kennesaw State — and only two games are […]

FEAST WEEK, DAY 2: 2 FEAST 2 FURIOUS

Another day in the life of the Big Ten in FEAST WEEK: Rutgers sucks, USC’s mediocre, everything else…eh. FEAST WEEK DAY 1: RECAPS Players Era Festival I’m increasingly angry about this tournament—not specifically because Michigan routed San Diego State and ran up the score, but specifically because the nature of “18 teams playing a fucking […]

Three keys for Northwestern football against Illinois

Northwestern enters its game against Illinois after securing its sixth win of the season and earning bowl eligibility. It’s a huge accomplishment for NU, but the team is not satisfied and will look to build on that momentum and bring home the HAT.

David Braun HAT Game Week Presser Notes

Thanks to a gripping comeback victory over Minnesota, David Braun’s Northwestern Wildcats are going to a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Yet despite being the only coach in program history to make two postseason trips in his first three seasons, Braun is refusing to rest on his laurels. Here’s what Northwestern’s […]

Week 14 Big Ten Power Ratings

Ah, yes, it’s finally here. The best week of football for the Big Ten, rivalry week. Where every game has a trophy and every midwestern family has bragging rights on the line. Nothing beats watching Iowa beat down on Nebraska on Black Friday, then rolling into The Game 24 hours later. Almost anything can happen; […]

OTM Open Thread 11/25: Cold Stove

Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! With Thanksgiving around the corner, MLB’s offseason is defrosting with the turkeys. The Mets and Rangers made a one for one major league trade and the Mariners brought back Josh Naylor, but apart from that, there hasn’t been much movement. Maybe today’s the day we get a nice appetizer before […]

New Podcast Alert, Some Thoughts on Caleb Williams, MNF Musings, and Other Bears Bullets

The Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week always feels like a Thursday. What’s up with that? Even though the NFL Draft isn’t top of mind right now, I am still curious about (1) where the Bears are picking and (2) who they could target. Hence, I am starting to put my eyes on more mock drafts. Chicago’s football team targeting an edge defender makes sense . But it is going to take some time for my mind to get a grasp on the concept of the Bears drafting in the 20s. I didn’t watch Monday N...

Kylee Kitts and Ohio State’s fourth-quarter surge

On Monday, Ohio State women’s basketball defeated the Belmont Bruins 68-56. A comfortable win by a comfortable margin. Look deeper and the game was no sure bet for head coach Kevin McGuff’s side. For the first time in the early 2025-26 season, the Buckeyes had to play important fourth quarter minutes and it ended with […]

Game Thread: Michigan State Vs. East Carolina

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Week 13

Week 13 sealed the fate of a few teams with Fresno State and Hawaii out of the conference title race after suffering losses to Utah State and UNLV. Boise State kept their title hopes alive with a rejuvenated offense, and San Diego State is almost a lock to make the conference championship game after taking […]

Nebraska vs Iowa: Why EVERYONE Hates Iowa (And Why This Game Matters)

Nebraska vs Iowa: The Annual Torture Session We Call a Football Game There’s something uniquely awful about Nebraska vs Iowa. It’s not just that we lose these games—it’s HOW we lose them. Iowa sits there with 10 points, waiting for us to make a mistake. And we do. Every single time. Last year? Dylan Raiola […]

Blessed & Honored: Jackson Ford Visits Penn State

Kevin Brown Flips to West Virginia Four-star offensive lineman Kevin Brown flipped to West Virginia last week: Brown’s dad was an offensive lineman at West Virginia, so this flip is hardly a surprise.

Let’s run through another 2026 NFL Mock Draft. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. Tennessee Titans: LB Arvell Reese – Ohio State The Titans took their quarterback last year. This year, they address the other side of the ball with the top defensive player in the ...

Beyond the Box Score: Scripted

How many more ways can we describe an Eli Drinkwitz going on the road and/or going against a Top 10 team and losing a close one? It’s getting pretty repetitive, eh? And how many more ways can we describe any Missouri football team travelling to Norman, Oklahoma and getting beat? It’s the 20th-straight time we […]

Duck Tape: Film Review of Oregon vs USC

Once Oregon scored to go up 42-27 with only 5:22 left the rest of the game was excluded as garbage time. At that point USC was in desperation mode to not only score but do so quickly, while Oregon was primarily concerned with running clock. Because the punt return touchdown took the place off an […]
