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 –...

If you remember back a couple weeks, I got together with a few buddies and we did a quick draft of players on bowl teams heading into the first half of the bowl season. Well, we couldn't reconnect for the Jan. 1 games and beyond, but the results are in for those early games that we drafted for. The...

The report card. It’s every schoolchild’s brag paper or trash can liner. For the record, I never really looked forward to this day; every parent has high expectations, right? Now, I get to hand out a few grades (Insert evil laugh). A+ Peyton Manning: Four 300+ yard performances in the first...

The waiting is almost over. Fall camps are starting to come into view and within the next 10 days, many college football programs will start kicking the tires on their 2009 model. It's an exciting time for coaches, players and fans, a time of optimism and plenty of vague and unrevealing coach-speak...

It's time to take a look at the Mountain West Conference, a collection of teams that routinely delight in rattling scoreboards and throwing down big-time statistics. As always, the format is simple – 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 QB and 1 Def. And yes, no kickers. Let's see what kind of team our...

And here we are, ready to explore the Western Athletic Conference through the joys of a mock draft. As a reminder, over the next few weeks we'll take a look at what a mock draft might look like within the different major football conferences. The format is simple – 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 QB and...

There are few things as opinion-creating in fantasy sports as the mock draft. I’ve participated in hundreds of them over the years, both college and professional and they never fail to deliver good comments, insightful thoughts (well, most of the time) and passionate opinions. In the end, isn’t...

With the growth of collegiate fantasy football, the focus on individuals continues to grow as many formats now feature individual players rather than unit play. But there are still purists out there -- players who don't fancy the individual, but continue to have an affinity for that good old tried...

I’m just a regular guy that knows about as much as the next cat when it comes to sports. But sometimes I think people put so much emphasis on sports that they tend to overlook some of the day-to-day stupidity that continues to terrorize our planet. So I’m here to clue you freaks in on the...

That didn't happen...

Talk about entering the dead zone. The time period between the end of spring practice and the start of fall practice seems like a gaping chasm for college football fans, broken up only by the unwelcome arrival of police blotter material, injuries and perhaps an NCAA investigation announcement. Real college...
