Last Straw: CSU Fires Jay Norvell After Loss to Hawaii, 2-5 Start

Well, this is an article I didn’t think I would have to write after that blowout win against Fresno State last week, least of all this soon.

Well, I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what I witnessed through my screen on Friday night between the Miami Hurricanes and the Louisville Cardinals.

Now more than ever, let’s not get too comfortable

For a sport that is known to be so physical, the game of football is really a mental one at the end of the day. You can have all the on-paper talent in the world, but without the right mentality, it doesn’t mean anything throughout a full season. (If you don’t believe me, just ask […]
