Breaking down why TCU’s Gary Patterson deserves his AP Coach of the Year Award… and why his most distinguishing move occurred off the field.
Well-Deserved Recognition
Another BCS-busting first for the Horned Frogs of TCU–Gary Patterson has been named the first non-BCS conference Coach of the Year by the Associated Press.
The irony of that being [...]

So the NCAA college football regular season is finally over. Before I’m called out on the veracity of that statement, yes, there is one game remaining, Army-Navy. Often an afterthought, the traditional service academy rivalry game does indeed have bearing on this year’s post-season; if Army wins, the Black Knights will have the [...]

Hmmm…
Zzzz…
Some weeks simply not much happens. I channel surfed vigorously, trying to find a game worth watching (and I receive a lot of channels). A very few games that I had a passing interest in (if only because of their Bowl Championship Series implications) were on the air (er, cable… er, Uverse fiber-optics), [...]

Not so during Week 8, when only two such match-ups existed, and one of those was [...]

After a couple of blah weeks, the college football season picked up again this past weekend. Several Top 25 showdowns along other games of national or at least conference rivalry interest made for some interesting watching.
And. at the end of it all, the first BCS standings!
Not that I’m thrilled about the Bowl Championship Series–as [...]

‘Twas the day before Sunday, and all through the land, not a creature was stirring, not even the fans.
That’s kind of how last Saturday felt in college football. Slow. Very, very slow. No major (Top Ten) upsets. Only a handful of ranked teams in the back half of the polls went [...]

After two weekends during which upsets absolutely abounded, Week 5 of the NCAA college football season was sadly disappointing. Of course, in a week in which only twenty of the Top 25 ranked teams played, the odds of a top tier team going down are greatly diminished.
Nobody was more thankful to have the week [...]
