For those in the SFN community catching back up today while watching college football (and/or maybe nursing a nasty hangover), here’s a few things you may have missed: *The SFN Forums are BACK! Click here to head on over and peruse the topics being discussed. It’s still being tinkered with, so please leave a comment […]
College Football
Open Football (Crap Bowls and Week 16 NFL) Thread
Pac 12 looks pretty good in early action. The late action…is only of interest to those in “bowl confidence” pools (as is true with me, though I will still likely fall asleep). Saints at Panthers is obviously the weekend’s money shot.
The NCAA Has To Grant More Autonomy To Power 5 Conference Schools If It Wants to Survive
A sea change is quietly happening in college sports, and it is one that could alter the fabric of how university sports are played. In the din of recent football upsets: Alabama losing to Auburn and knocking it out of a chance at a third consecutive national championship, Ohio State losing for the first time […]
Off-Topic: 2013 Off-Season Coaching Changes
It’s been highly speculated since the beginning of the season that 2 or 3 of the biggest jobs out there could be opening at Texas, USC, potentially Nebraska and Florida. If any combo of those jobs end up open the dominos could fall throughout the the college football landscape. USC has already fired Kiffen and […]
Worst Punt Ever
In the last few seasons, we have seen some really bad punts. And several of these have gone viral, thanks to Twitter and Youtube. But there are some that are a cut above (or is that below?) in terms of claiming the title of “Worst Punt Ever.” I give you the El Toro Bowl, Arizona […]
CFB Championship Saturday Thread
The Sooners of Oklahoma outlast Okie State in Stillwater, thus the winner of Texas/Baylor takes the BIG12’s BCS berth. Nice job Cowboys. – SEC Championship – 4pm – CBS Mizzou vs Auburn (+1) PAC12 Championship – 7:45pm – ESPN Stanford vs Arizona State (+3.5) B1G Championship – 8pm – FOX Ohio State vs Michigan State […]
RIP, BCS
Here’s a nice, short summary of the history — drama, really — of the BCS and its short-lived predecessors the Bowl Coalition and Bowl Alliance, and how it’s changed the landscape of college football over the past 20 years (AL.com): The Bowl Championship Series, age 16, dies Dec. 8. It was born in the SEC […]
November 23/24 Open Football Thread
There’s one good game (TAMU at LSU, CBS) and one snow game (Stormin’ Mormons at Gold-headed Catholics, NBC) on right now. Enjoy! Don’t forget two key games later tonight – Mizzou at Ole Miss (7:45, ESPN) and Baylor at Okie State (8:00, ABC). Beloved Pey Pey and crew invade the Massholes in the Sunday night […]
Rest of Weekend Open Football Thread
It’s all a prelude to PeyPey putting an end to the Chefs fluky undefeated season. But there are several good games in the 3:30 window – Okie State at Texas (Fox), Georgia at Auburn (CBS), Sparty at Nebraska (ABC/ESPN2), Miami at Duke (ESPNU). Stanford at USC (8:00, ABC) could also be watchable.
November 9 Non-Dumpster Fire Football Thread
We have to wait until 4:00 EST (ESPNU) for our weekly ass beating. Duke is a 9-10 point favourite. Duke football! The 3:30 window is loaded with sh-t games, so you won’t miss much wallowing in black humour with your SFN buddies. Speaking of football, I promised my (mostly British) cohorts on my regular Everton […]
