Winners and Losers from College Football Week One
After a fantastic and exciting first week of college football, I wanted to give my opinion of the top 5 winners and losers. I know there are three more games, but unless I see something that surprises me, I think I’ve seen enough to post.
WINNERS
1 – CHRIS PETERSON and his Boise State Broncos
To me, [...]
Week One Analysis and Plays
As mentioned in an earlier article, the fact that I went 3-0 last night means that I will tread lightly on Saturday. There is some value out there, and I think there are also some soft lines, so we will see what happens.
Louisiana @ Okie State
Louisiana may be the worst team in the FBS, [...]
The Seminoles are Back
There is a struggling football powerhouse that is quietly building a very strong foundation. This football program just gave their Hall of Fame coach a win in his last every game at the university. The Florida State Seminoles haven’t won 10 games since 2003, but this is going to change very soon. Now that he [...]
Harrison Barnes Picks UNC
Roy Williams just beat Mike Krzyzewski again. Highly-touted basketball recruit Harrison Barnes announced today that he will play basketball for UNC next season. Barnes picked the Tar Heels over Duke, UCLA, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa State (he played ball in Ames). The 6-foot-7 swingman is considered the top-rated recruit in the country. This would have been [...]
Five Burning Basketball Questions: ACC Style
1) Who will replace Tebow Hansbrough?
Tyler Hansbrough was one of those four-year players that seemed like he played college basketball for ten years. If you think of UNC basketball the past couple of years, you still think about Michael Jordan and then you think about Hansbrough. He was a unanimous selection for the All-ACC team [...]
Is Duke Built to Make a 2011 Final Four Run?
Mike Krzyzewski is one of the best coaches in the history of sports, but look at some of his recent statistics:
The Blue Devils haven’t made it to the Final Four since 2004.
Last year’s Sweet Sixteen appearance was the school’s first since 2006.
Duke is 2-7 against UNC in the past nine games.
This year’s team lacks depth [...]
Forde Votes Miami #1
ESPN’s Pat Forde might be the only person that is an expert on college sports, the Kentucky Derby and Ashley Judd. His Forde’s Dash is always a must-read, but he is off his rocker in his latest article. Forde admits to voting Miami No. 1 and has Florida third. Miami has been one of the [...]
Duke Is Not Good At Football
OMG Duke’s awful. They got housed by FCS Richmond last week. They’re losing to Army 10-7 at the time of this writing. We love David Cutcliffe, but his team’s really digressing. QB Thadeus Lewis is a proficient 5 of 16 for 60 yards in the game. Cut may challenge UVA’s Al Groh for ACC futility.
Spoke too [...]
Meet The Next Eric Berry
Everybody is talking today about the thrilling Miami victory over Florida State on Monday night. Miami was led by sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris. The young quarterback threw for 387 yards while scoring three touchdowns in the 38-34 win over the Seminoles. Harris has a bright future, but there was one player on the Seminoles that [...]
FSU/Miami Preview
With how bad the ACC looked over the weekend, is tonight’s Florida State/Miami game even worth watching? The answer is yes as this is still a very good rivalry and both of these teams need to start the season on a good note. Both of these teams could struggle this season and there is a [...]
