Now that the pros have finished up a “Who Dat” passion play worthy of Shakespearean longevity, it’s time to get back to the business of college football – or more pointedly, the business of college football in the spring. That’s right, my friends, despite the real sense...

Winter is continuing to pound away at many parts of the country as we welcome February, but with all-star games being played and the hint of spring practice starting to whisper its promise of optimism on the wind, let’s take a look back. It’s never too late to learn something from 2009 that...

Well, that was quite a bowl season wasn’t it? In what can only be called a “shocking development,” or, if you’re my wife, a “disgusting” development, I intentionally watched an extended amount of all 34 bowl games this season. Sure, it’s was big sacrifice –...

Wild and wacky, that’s the only way I can describe some of this bowl action over the New Year’s weekend, but there it is – wild and wacky. If you’d told me that Houston ’s Case Keenum would throw six picks against an Air Force pass defense that was statistically very good...

So, the bowl watching appetite whetted yet? To be sure, the early bowls have offered some snoozers, but they’ve also offered up some interesting performances – some from people you’d expect; others from out of left field. That’s what makes the bowl season so interesting; you just...

With the bowl season about to really get rolling, it’s time to get fantasy football rolling again. With that in mind, a couple friends and I took a quick evening break to draft some teams for the games through Dec. 31. There were three of us, so we each have two teams. No, no, there’s not...

And we’re back…with the final eight bowl games given a thumbnail look-see. The one thing to remember about bowl games is that it’s almost like starting a new season for the teams that play after Christmas. There’s been a decent break after the regular-season finale, followed...

And we’re back. Part 2 of our bowl preview series offers a look at the bowl games after the Christmas holiday. There are some good matchups, some intriguing storylines and even some games that make one raise an eyebrow and say, “mmmm.” We’ll break them down for you right here...

The final full weekend of the college football season delivered up plenty of offense for fantasy owners lucky enough to choose the right combination of running back, quarterback and receiver. Oh, there were some good performances by tight ends as well, so we should leave the big lugs out of the offensive...

Well here we are, the last full weekend of college football. Sure, there are championship games on the horizon and other assorted rivalry battles to be played out, but for all intents and purposes – this is it. If you’re in the playoffs or at the end of the line and you’ve got a hole...

Anytime I can write the name of Freddie Barnes down, I’m pretty happy. In fact, this week’s column has a lot of repeat offenders as offenses seemed to come alive in week 12. Let’s take a look at who excelled and who sucked it up a bit was we head to the waning weeks of the 2009 college...

It’s week 12 and the homestretch is upon the fantasy realm. Rather than deliver the usual fantasy picks via position, we’re going to take a little different tact this week. If you’re like me, the playoffs are upon you and with some byes still on the schedule or players hurt or just...

Some new names popping into the studs and duds galaxy this week, though in keeping with tradition we have our Freddie Barnes and Case Keenum tribute bands warming up for their weekly concerts. We also have a nice collection of dual threat quarterbacks go big this week, including a double-threater who...

Week 11 is upon us and the time has come to start making the drive toward the playoffs. Often, that will be accomplished by one-week waiver wire wonders – guys who only need to kick tail for the week you pick them up to help your overall cause. Here are a few names that could do just that this...

I don’t know about your league format, but in the multiple leagues I’m in, Houston quarterback Case Keenum is the top point producer in all of them. The guy has gotten to the point where if he throws for “only” 420 yards, everyone is disappointed. Why isn't this guy getting...
