The Miami Hurricanes won 42-7 on Saturday night over the Stanford Cardinal at Hard Rock Stadium. The spread varied anywhere from 31ish down to 28.5. It was a win and a cover for the Hurricanes. But, for me, the old motto of “good teams win, great teams cover” doesn’t quite hit home for me after […]

Yeeesh. Listen, I’ll gladly take the W and nod along with the “found a way to win it” crowd. But this game did very little to assuage the nerves I wrote about after the Mizzou win. These close games feel unsustainable (though, I also said that a few weeks, and a few wins, ago). I’ll […]

It was late heartbreak for the Wildcats on Friday, as an 87th minute penalty from Mitar Mitrovic gave No. 13 Michigan a 2-1 come-from-behind victory. The win leaves Northwestern in a tie for last place in the Big Ten standings. The ’Cats sit on only five points after seven games. Meanwhile, Michigan’s victory propels it […]

Let’s throw some quick love to the Iowa football twitter account. Got to hand it to the Iowa media crew. They have crushed for the last three weeks, going back to the Wisconsin game. Absolute fire from those people. To the game! I really thought this would be close. Minnesota allowed 294 yards per game […]

Let’s go back to third-and-12, with 9:18 left in the fourth quarter. Northwestern is on Nebraska’s 36-yard line, with all the momentum on its side after coming back down 21-6 to tie the game. Mac Uhlein intercepted Cornhusker quarterback Dylan Raiola on the previous drive, and the ‘Cats had a chance to take the lead […]

Going into the season, many thought the Nov. 1 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State would be a clash of top 5 titans. Instead, an unranked 3-4 Nittany Lions team heads to Columbus next Saturday. Here are five things you need to know about Saturday’s matchup against Penn State. 1. Eight-game winning streak Ohio […]

Gonzaga’s exhibition against Western Oregon comes with a direct line back to Mark Few’s earliest coaching days. Western Oregon’s new head coach, Ryan Orton, is the son of Doug Orton, the high school coach who hired Few for his very first coaching job at Creswell High School in the mid-1980s. Few ran the freshman team […]

Detailed. Accountable. Relentless. Touch. Toughness Those are the words Fran Brown’s program lives by and while some of you would debate this, I think that even in the last four games that Syracuse has held up to those standards….the first one though has been lacking and it’s killing the Orange. Syracuse was blown out as […]

Not long ago, the possibility of Penn State’s trip to Ohio State would be a #1 vs. #2 match-up seemed likely – perhaps inevitable. However, what was forecasted as the biggest game of the regular season has lost its luster thanks to the Nittany Lions 0-4 start in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes will be […]

Much of the blame (that’s not already attributed to the coaches) for UNC’s poor start to the season has been laid to rest at feet of the offense. And rightfully so; UNC’s offense ranked 132nd out of 136 FBS Division 1 schools in yards per game coming into the matchup against Virginia. They only fare […]

You know the scene. A coach stands there in the sideline, the game is already well in hand. Unfortunately, it’s not this guy’s hand. He’s losing this one, and there’s nothing he can do about it. “Phil Fulmer’s special elastic buffet pants!” you exclaim, “what must that poor guy be thinking?“ As usual, I have […]

The Notre Dame hockey season is well underway with new head coach Brock Sheahan, and are now sporting a 3-2-1 record to start the year. Robert Morris was the second of a pair of two game home series with out of conference foes… and the Irish just missed the sweep. From the ND press release:

Give South Carolina credit. I had wondered coming into the game how much juice they’d have left, having lost two straight and four overall. There isn’t much left for them to play for other than pride, but they showed some last night and had Alabama squarely on the ropes. It was their Homecoming game so […]

The Wisconsin Badgers had their sixth straight loss of the season on Saturday, losing 21-7 to the No. 6 Oregon Ducks on the road. After being shut out in two uncompetitive games against the Iowa Hawkeyes and No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes, it was a much different attitude from the Badgers on Saturday, as the […]

SEATTLE — After losing to the Washington Huskies on the road, the Illini fall to 5-3 on the season, a record that will likely put them out of reach of making the College Football Playoff. The narrative surrounding Saturday’s game was that it was a playoff elimination game, meaning that if either the Illini or […]

There is nothing from this game that is worth taking the time to write about. Unacceptable. Inexcusable. Embarrassing. The worst performance of the P.J. Fleck era. Au revoir. Let it rip in the comments.

The Miami Hurricanes (6-1) covered the spread in a 42-7 win over the Stanford Cardinal (3-5) Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium. The ‘Canes are still alive for the postseason even after a 7-7 halftime tie against a ‘bottom 30’ Stanford squad. The Canyonero Keys for Miami theme was to caveman the Cardinal to death. […]

In this search, I went on the ACC’s official website, and came across some information which is good to pass along. Following up on this, with all games placed and published officially on the ACC’s website, […]
