“Twas the Night Before College Football…”
And all the degenerate college fans and cappers could not sleep. Face it, this is my Christmas time. Most have been waiting like me, for months, and with less than a day from opening night, I will analyze this year's opening Thursday night games.
For opening night, we have ...
Quick Predictions for the Major Conferences – It’s Capping Time Next!
It's time to start capping games, so I am just going to quickly give my predictions for the major conferences. I will be capping and making predictions for Thursday games later today. "It's the most wonderful time of the year...."
SEC Oh, how the powers have shifted from the east ...
A&M to SEC Means End of an Identity
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. We’ve all heard that saying a thousand times. Heck, down south it might as well be our 11th commandment. Which is why it pains me that Mike Slive doesn’t seem to subscribe to the maxim.
If you’re an SEC fan you know the model ...
What to Expect When Everyone’s Expecting
Every fan base has them and every fan base thinks the other fan bases are unrealistic. We’re talking expectations, of course, and they’ve reached a point of diminishing returns in college football these days.
There’s just no way to keep college fan bases happy any more, not long-term. Take Texas coach ...
Previewing The Mountain West Conference – Welcome Boise?
The MWC said goodbye to two very good football programs last year, in BYU and Utah. What they gained may be better than losing those two. Boise State enters in to what could become one of the new great rivalries in college football, with the Broncos and TCU. ...
No Boise Means the WAC will be Wac(ky)
The WAC used to be very easy to predict in terms of Boise State winning the conference each year. Well, the "Smurf Turf" takes it's act to the Mountain West, and the leftovers will make this conference very interesting to watch this season. I think there are four ...
Trying to Predict The Wide Wide World of the MAC
The MAC is a half-step above the Sun Belt when it comes to making predictions and capping football games. This year may be a little different though. It seems to me that you have the "haves" and "have nots" in both the East and West Divisions.A couple of ...
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 ...
College Football Futures – Good or Bad?
I am not a big fan of future bets, especially in football when injuries can really hurt a season. There are even more factors that come into play when you are talking about college football futures - schedule, mental fatigue, overtime losses, etc. Basically, I am giving every ...
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 ...
