10 things I hate about you….College Football
10 things I hate about you….College Football There isn’t much I hate about college football, the world’s greatest sport. Well, other than the offseason, which already seems months old.

For the love of the game – College football
For the love of the game – College football Despite what your thermometer says, spring has arrived, at least if you believe the practice schedule at Miami, Stanford and a few other campuses. The 2009 season has begun, and if you’re like me, the seven weeks since the BCS National Championship Game felt as if…

Coaching from press box not a popular option
Coaching from press box not a popular option By thinking outside the box, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis may go inside the box.

Guest Columnist: Should we privatize big-time college athletics?
Guest Columnist: Should we privatize big-time college athletics? Academics or athletics? That is the historic question big-time state universities must address. Athletes are exploited; admission standards corrupted and taxpayer resources diverted. The NCAA plays catch-up with its regulations while recently giving an OK for colleges to contact prospects in grammar school! The general public seems…

Harrell’s Folly: Spread O in the NFL
Harrell’s Folly: Spread O in the NFL From Andre Ware to Alex Smith, the NCAA has been throwing system quarterbacks in pass-heavy, shotgun schemes to the NFL for decades, and the NFL has been chewing them up and spitting them back out the whole time.

Tigers’ focus on Gators
http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/featured/40205682.html LSU can add a twist to the state’s Mardi Gras party today by beating Florida to clinch a share of the Southeastern Conference championship.
