The Big Ten has announced a one-game suspension for Minnesota’s Logan Cooley stemming from a hit in last night’s 5-2 Minnesota victory over Michigan .
Cooley was assessed a five-minute major for cross-checking at 6:35 of the second period last night for a hit on Michigan’s Eric Ciccolini. Cooley was initially escorted off the ice, but after video review, Cooley was brought back and just given a five-minute major penalty with no...

Well, it’s time to say goodbye, folks. The road goes on forever, but it looks like this party might be coming to an end. Well, this is it. This is officially it. As I’m sure you know by now, For Whom the Cowbell Tolls is set to be shut down due to a business decision that was made above our heads.
After tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 30, this site will be done.
And that’s pretty sad, all things considered. This chapter of the Mississippi State blogosphere is coming to a close. This was once the g...

There is no more rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami Redhawks. Just take a look at the student sections from last Saturday’s game if there is any doubt. Maybe back in the 90’s or early 2000’s when Miami fielded competitive teams and Cincinnati was just starting to navigate their football program, this rivalry meant something to the fans of both schools, but this game is about as important to both fanbases as K eeping ...

Football is religion. For most of the country, football is a way of life, something that people eat and breathe daily. Places in the south like Starkville, Gainesville, and Fayetteville look forward to six Saturday’s every year, and this weekend, I found out how truly religious every fan in Arkansas is about their Hogs.
I’ve wanted to go to a SEC game for as long as I could remember. Seeing a game with 75,000+ fans all cheering for their lifelong team is...

I know what I said...shut up. I wasn’t all that wrong. Ok fine...the PTSD from past events was too much for me.
I was wrong, but not by a whole lot.
Oklahoma State started slow, but a Tom Hutton - Brennan Pressley gem gave the defense the opportunity it needed to flex a little muscle. One safety and a quarter later OSU was well on its way to a comfortable blowout and I suppose some exorcizing of the demon of the untimed down.

Let’s check on Cowboy football recruiting with summer coming to an end. With summer ending and the season beginning, now is as good of a time as ever to check in on how recruiting is doing. This class will slide back from recent recruiting finishes because it will be a smaller class, but there is no reason for panic or concern.
Oklahoma State signed the No. 30 and No. 29 class in the nation, respectively, for the class of 2021 and 2022, t...

The Cincinnati Bearcats are in for a tussle with the SMU Mustangs this season. New head coach Rhett Lashlee has a cadre of offense weapons coming back. QB Tanner Mordecai was the leading passer in the American Athletic Conference last season, averaging better than 300 yards per game while tossing 39 touchdowns. Wideout Rashee Rice is an NFL go-to guy in the making. The Mustangs have plenty of excellent WR talent alongside Rice too.
