Saying the college football world has changed in 2024 is a great understatement. As a result, it’s probably a safe bet those elementary school lessons in mathematics and geography won’t be any help either.

It’s a rare event for me to be able to watch a college football game. Working in college athletics and also having been a sports reporter since the 1980s, Saturday’s have been filled other sports or watching a live Division III contest over the years. Watching a battle of two teams ranked in the top […]
Editor’s note: The value of sports cards is very subjective. The reality is that they are worth whatever price someone is willing pay. Collecting cards has never been about money or investments because that seems to remove some of the enjoyment of the hobby. Recently, a couple of friends gave me some baseball and football […]
The stage is finally set for the College Football Playoff. Saturday’s results of the conference championship games determined the field of four teams announced on Sunday that will play for the national title. Clemson (13-0) stayed in the top spot as the Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference crown with a 45-37 win over North […]
Win and you are in. For the Top 5 teams in the College Football Playoff rankings, that is all that has to be done as the season begins its final weekend. Big 12 champion Oklahoma (11-1) has already won because the conference doesn’t have a title contest. The No. 3 Sooners are now just waiting […]
There are always many questions heading into a weekend of college football. One will be answered on Thursday, while a marque match-up may present more questions on Saturday. Ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25, Baylor (7-0, 4-0) visits Kansas State (3-4, 0-4) on Thursday for a Big 12 contest with a new starting […]
College football fans might forget Corn Elder’s name, but it’s likely that one of the strangest moments in the history of the game will be etched in everyone’s memory. Edler was the guy who finished the 8-lateral, 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as Miami upset No. 22 Duke 30-27 on Saturday, Oct. 31. It […]
Two of my favorite sports movies are “Hoosiers” and “Rudy.” No need to go into get detail about either of those films. “Hoosiers” celebrated a high school basketball championship in Indiana. Even had a few friends that served as extras in the 1986 drama, so it was fun to see them. Released in 1993, “Rudy” […]
Notre Dame and Temple are the only two ranked squads that square off this weekend in college football. No. 9 Notre Dame (6-1) travels to No. 21 Temple (7-0), which is one of three members of the American Athletic Conference that is currently undefeated. Irish Head Coach Brian Kelly is impressed with what Temple Head […]
There is only one Top 25 match-up this weekend, but three unbeaten American Athletic Conference teams have intriguing contests. No. 15 Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1) is at No. 24 Mississippi (5-2, 2-1) for a Southeastern Conference battle after both teams remain ranked despite losing last week. Mississippi Head Coach Hugh Freeze hopes his team can […]
