Offensive Coaching Staff Taking Shape
Nothing is official yet, and nothing has been announced by the A&M athletic department, but it looks like Coach Sumlin's staff is beginning to take shape. Coach Sumlin is still interviewing people for certain core positions, like defensive coordinator, so we don't know who everyone is yet, but...
Athletic Department Makes It Official: Sumlin Is Our Man
Texas A&M and the athletic department finally made it official yesterday, announcing Kevin Sumlin as the new head football coach for the Texas A&M football program. Coach Sumlin comes to A&M following a 12-1 season where he led the University of Houston to a school record for wins in a...
Spurrier proposes colleges pay their professional football players
Steve Spurrier made a proposal at the SEC coaches meeting to pay players $300 per game for "expenses." You can read the ajc article here. Not everyone agrees, so it will not likely be done anytime soon. However, this type of idea sets me off on a rant every time I hear a coach speak out "for the...
How Cold are Big Ten Football Games?
Big Ten football fans are used to hearing about cold weather. Television announcers and sports commentators often use words such as frigid, tundra, cold, and frozen as descriptive terms for Big Ten football.

What If: A Hipster Came Over for an SEC Football Game?

Bleacher Report has an interesting comparison but neglects to mention that football national championships take one win whereas basketball national championships require six. If basketball were like football, the 2009 National Champion would have been from the Big East since the two top seeds were...
A look at football recruiting
I think many of us believe the Kentucky has upgraded their football recruiting. We see Brooks getting mostly 3 star players these days, but how do we compare with the rest of the SEC? Here are a couple of tables, the one on the left sorted by average "star" ranking and the one on the right...
OPEN SHOT: Around the Big Blue Nation
Not that much going on out there right now as far as big stories go, but here are a few things to talk about: Joe Crawford impressive at NBA pre-draft camp. Ramel Bradley not so much. I like these tidbits from John Clay, particularly the ones about Noah and Bobby Petrino. KSR has lots of...
Big 12 vs SEC
Before I get to the MU-KSU preview, I want to have some fun (i.e. distract myself a bit longer). CSTV.com's Carolyn Braff has some kind words for the Big 12 (the North in particular) and decides it's time to pit the SEC against the Big 12 to see just how much difference exists between the two...
