Predictions for the Sun Belt Conference
Every day for the next two weeks, I will break down each conference and give some predictions and who to watch for in those conferences. I will obviously start from the bottom, so the unexplainable Sun Belt will be featured today, and the equally crazy MAC, will be featured tomorrow.
When it comes to the [...]
Can a Veteran Vanderbilt Team Open the “Dores” under New Head Coach James Franklin?
Let me be perfectly clear, I love college football, but to say writing about Vandy isn’t much fun on any level. Bobby Johnson did a fine job at Vandy, but his timing to resign last year, was at best comical. Enter former Maryland OC, James Franklin, as the latest to drag Vandy out [...]
Breaking Down the 2011 Tennessee Vols – Can Derek Dooley’s Impact Happen Already?
It’s almost football time in Tennessee, and that means year two of the Derek Dooley era on Rocky Top. Before I get into where I see this team going potentially, breaking down some of the early season spreads, and the over/under on total of wins; I just want to say after all Tennessee fans [...]
Lies, Thighs, and 40-times
Here’s the link that we were talking about on Sports 180. Remember, never, ever, ever believe the size listed for a big-man in college basketball or the 40 time given by a university for one of its football players.
Kiffin Press Conference Recap

If only Lane Kiffin would have lead off his USC press conference with a jab like that. Kiffin seemed very excited in his press conference and mentioned multiple times that USC was his dream job. Kiffin called USC [...]

After doing some research this morning, I am not as sure about Ingram. I mentioned earlier this week that I know three Knoxville voters that are picking [...]
Why They Should Do Away With the Coaches Poll
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier proved that the coaches poll was a joke when he used vote Duke in his top-25 poll and plenty of other coaches made similiar dumb decisions in this year’s ballot. Florida State’s Bobby Bowden voted Georgia 25th in his last ballot and Louisiana-Monroe coach Charlie Weatherbie left No. 13 LSU off his [...]
Suh Among Five Heisman Finalists
Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Alabama running back Mark Ingram and Stanford running back Toby Gerhart are the five finalists headed to New York for the Heisman Trophy. I seriously doubt Suh has a chance, but he is the most dominating player in college football. I know of [...]
College Football Coaching Rumors
Â
Before we get to the juicy rumors of the day, let me address the latest Phillip Fulmer news. The former Tennessee coach says he is interested coaching Louisville and Notre Dame. I will borrow a saying from former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy and say that there is less than a zero percent chance that [...]
