Every year in every team sport, we take the time to find out who the Coach of the Year is — but rarely does anyone figure out who is worthy of the title Worst Coach of The Year.

This season, one of the leading candidates for that ignominious title which I just made up has to be Southern Illinois’ Chris Lowery.

You remember the Salukis, [...]

When the college football season started, University of Michigan Head Coach Brady Hoke made some very arrogant comments at Big Ten media day. He said “we’re not rebuilding,” and “we’re Michigan” a few times. He proved right, and us media types wrong as he was selected as the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year [...]

You could make a case that Wisconsin had the greatest running back and quarterback tandem in college football history. Quarterback Russell Wilson broke the season passer rating record, and tailback Montee Ball tied the season record for touchdowns. The Badgers were the first [...]

Letter From an OSU Fan to Penn State Fans

“Dear Penn State Fan/Alumni,

You don’t know me. Sure, we may have seen each other once or twice at a road game or a tailgate, but aside from a passing glance, and an occasional hello, we are strangers. Heck, we’re actually more like enemies. After all, I’m a fan of The Ohio State University – tOSU, or O$U as you might[...]

Can’t leave college football alone the game needs me. Biggee Smalls once said that he raps about the ghetto because that’s what he knows. And…”if I worked at McDonald’s I’d be rapping about Big Macs and fries.”

You write and talk about what you know and live. And I know Big Ten football. “Banks is chilling, what more can I say, we killing ‘em.”

Enjoy the lyrics quote from each artist at the end. It links to that specific song. [...]

Sandwiched in between last weekend’s emotional prime time upset of nationally ranked Arizona State nad next week’s Big Ten opener versus hated in-state rival Northwestern, today’s contest against MAC opponent Western Michigan certainly had a “trap game” feel. And given the Illini performance in the first half, it certainly looked that way for awhile (think [...]

Now that Texas A&M is in the process of destroying the bloated spawn of the Southern Conference, most people seem to think a free-for-all is going to ensue as the Big XII has its death throes. And as any Wall Street scum will tell you, when a huge institution is burning to the ground and the market is generally more and more depressed by the day, that’s when it’s money-making time [...]

We are 43 days and counting from the Brady Hoke era in Ann Arbor. How do you think Coach Hoke’s first year in Ann Arbor will be? Hopefully better than Rich Rod’s 3-9 abomination. But I sure am pumped to see my boys in Maize and Blue run from the tunnel and touch the banner on September 3 against Western Michigan, it has been a long off season since the ugly 52-14 defeat in last year’s Gator Bowl against[...]

The Purdue Boilermakers will open the college basketball season on Nov. 11 when they host Northern Illinois in the first of two rededication games in conjunction with Mackey Celebration Weekend. The game will mark the official celebration of the three-year, $99.5 million renovation that represents the most comprehensive and significant facility undertaking in the University’s [...]

Winner of the 1995 Heisman Trophy, Ohio State‘s Eddie George is the latest in the lineage of Buckeyes ball carriers to enter the College Football Hall of Fame. George helped the Buckeyes to an overall 38-9-2 record, and a 24-6-2 mark in Big Ten play, where Ohio State never finished lower than second during George’s [...]
