“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.” Andy Dufresne wrote those words to his friend Red once he had crawled through a river of, well, you know how the movie goes. Buckle up, Husker fans, we’re in the river where we don’t want to be. Instead […]

A week after blowing out the Fresno State Bulldogs, giving a sense of security to Coach Jay Norvell and his staff that they may have something going, the CSU Rams were beaten again at home by the now bowl-bound Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, 31-19, which marked the official—and sudden—end of the Jay Norvell era in Fort […]

Buh bye bye, Billy. Hello . . . Brohm? The preordained dismissal in GatorLand was blissfully effectuated Sunday. As many expected, when the coach was booed off his home field. After a win. It is indeed the Season of the Witch. Four Top 10 Ls over the weekend. As for that other reference, the first […]

A true stinker. Purdue seemed to have little interest at Northwestern yesterday, if you watched one of the four quarters of the game you would probably agree. The Boilers have now dropped five straight since starting the season 2-0, albeit against lesser competition. An oldy but a goodie, here is depression by thr numbers, brought […]

There’s a big missed opportunity for The University of Georgia in not attracting a corporate sponsor that involves selling blood pressure medications, because the amount being sought after the last two Saturdays likely peaked, as Georgia won another stress-inducer, this time 43-35 over Ole Miss. At this point, some health care system in this great […]

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois’ newcomers look pretty good. International additions David Mirkovic and Zvonimir Ivisic delivered a promising performance to Illinois fans in the Illini’s 92-65 exhibition win over Illinois State on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Center. With the Illini missing three key players in Andrej Stojakovic, Mihailo Petrovic and Tomislav Ivisic, fans were […]

The Green Bay Packers narrowly escaped a let-down game, holding on for a 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals to move to 4-1-1 on the season. While there’s plenty to clean up, perhaps the biggest concern right now for the Packers on either side of the ball has been a disappointing level of play from […]

Talent – This is a deep team with rookies that might surprise NC State has six seniors (Lubin, Williams, Holloman, Copeland, Breed, Ebube), all but Breed are exhausting their eligibility this year and all are hoping to have seasons that cement their future professional careers somewhere. The Pack has two juniors (Deng, RS-JR Arceneaux), both […]

I should have seen this coming when Matt Rhule announced Nebraska was going with white jerseys and pants at his Monday press conference. The “surrender whites” have resulted in aesthetic failures both in terms of fashion and the scoreboard. Fashion is a nebulous factor; what’s beautiful in the eyes of some are eyesores in the […]

Remember last night? I’m trying not to. Feel like I got drunk and then someone hit me over the head with a brick. And then made me watch an Auburn football game. After the ugliest and wackiest series of drives I can recall in recent Mizzou Football history, the Tigers somehow walked away from Jordan-Hare […]

The Notre Dame football season is up and running — and we’re already putting holes in walls. Despite the loss in Miami, and against Texas A&M, the Irish still have a chance to bring home its 23rd national championship. The gang here at OFD is still pretty pumped to give you the best overall coverage […]

Good evening. My friend, @TalkinACCSports, seemed flabbergasted about the issues that face Clemson football. The coaching vacancies are overpopulated right now – so if you’re Clemson, I don’t think you make a move after one bad season. Dabo Swinney has built up a lot of goodwill. He was able to adjust the first time – … Continue reading »

Trailing 24-16 in set three with practically no momentum, Mizzou was staring down a 2-1 deficit with LSU on a roll. But Mizzou refused to quit, fitting off eight straight set points before eventually winning in extras 27-25. This propelled Mizzou to a win over LSU in four sets 25-19, 20-25, 27-25, 25-19. While the […]

Well, so Miami isn’t going to steamroll the competition this year on the way to their first-ever ACC title. Louisville brought the Canes crashing back to earth with a 24-21 win over Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday night. Now, Miami is down from near the top spot in the ACC, and in fact, […]

Notre Dame got off to a rough start in 2025, but they looked like they fixed a few things in a 56-30 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and then the 56-13 win on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks. They followed those two victories with two victories which covered massive spreads in a 28-7 win […]

On January 2nd, 2015, a family member of mine complained about Oregon running WR screens constantly and how it never works, “They only get 3 or 4 yards.” I plead the case that it’s a chess match – a metaphor that football is often compared to, trying to find strategic ways to out-flank your opponent.

Despite the blowout loss to Oregon, the Scarlet Knights have a very realistic shot to win their next game, as they have opened as 2.5-point favorites at Purdue next week, according to FanDuel. The Boilermakers share Rutgers’ 0-4 Big Ten record, with a nonconference loss to Notre Dame meaning that Purdue is 2-5 on the […]

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. However, after another uncompetitive loss, this time at home to a now bowl-bound Hawaii Rainbow Warriors squad, Colorado State figured that it was about time to pull the […]

“I SAID IT’S GREAT (bum bum) TO BE (bum bum) A GEORGIA BULLDOG! (repeat x ∞)” ~ Podunkdawg If you’re not hearing that in Podunk’s voice, then in all likelihood, you never met her. After a game like yesterday’s, it’s all I hear. She was ALWAYS a Dawg, but she was loud and proud after […]

FanDuel released its week 9 lines and BYU is an early 2.5-point road underdog to Iowa State on Saturday. The early line has fluctuated between a pick ‘em and BYU slight underdog since the line released this morning and will likely fluctuate throughout the week. The point total for the game is 49.5. The Cyclones […]

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. The supposedly different team I’ve watched all season must have stayed in the bye week, as the version I saw in Miami’s 24-21 loss was the one I’ve seen […]

Notre Dame was first pushed and then kicked off of the mountain with its 0-2 start to the Miami Hurricanes and Texas A&M Aggies. Just as the Irish did last year following the loss to Northern Illinois, Notre Dame has continued to beat down its opponent to claw its way back up the rankings mountain. […]
