Could Nick Saban come back to College Football? Everyone knows the stories of college of professional athletes or coaches who try to step away from the game but keep finding themselves drawn back to it years, months, or even weeks later. This may seem odd to the common person who dreams every day of retirement and never looks back, but this is different. Coaches and players have to be obsessed with their sport to make it to the highest level. A football coach has to eat, drink, breathe, and dream about football 24/7 if they ever hope to make it…

Arkansas Football is looking to do something it has only done a handful of times in the last decade: make a bowl game. To do that, it is going to need to improve quite a bit on both sides of the ball, but more than anything, it will need to finish out games. Arkansas May Have Been the Best 4-8 Team in the Country Last year, the Razorbacks were 4-8, which, no matter how you spin it, is not a good record. However, when you look at the actual results, they were within one score of beating Alabama, LSU, and…

College Football is just over a month away, and now more than ever, the discussion about which team has the toughest schedule is relevant. Before this year, with a four-team playoff, a team’s strength of schedule didn’t really matter unless it finished 11-1 or better. Now with the Playoff expanding to 12 teams, there is a lot more room for discussion. Does a 9-3 team with a super tough SOS get in over an 11-1 team with a much easier schedule? That is what will be the biggest discussion this upcoming season, but what can be (somewhat) projected is which…

Colorado Football is back in the headlines as ESPN’s Paul Finebaum makes some strong remarks about Coach Prime’s program. Finebaum loves college football, but even more than that, he loves SEC football. This was made further evident during SEC Media Days when he said the following: “Anyone asking whether Deion Sanders and Colorado are close to the playoffs simply doesn’t understand the reality of the road. They are not going to the playoffs this year, and I’m not sure Deion Sanders is ever going to get them to the playoffs because I don’t think he has the patience to stay…

Last December, the biggest college football stories weren’t the bowl games, the players opting out ahead of the NFL Draft, or even the coaching moves around college football. Instead, most of the country was captivated by the transfer portal. Fans watched, hoping their top players wouldn’t be entering the portal while at the same time hoping for some big-name signings. This continued through January-June, but it may have finally ended. At least as much as it possibly can. Transfer Portal Doesn’t Ever Close (Not Really) Even if the transfer portal windows are inactive, the transfer portal never stops. There are…

The SEC is the best conference in college football, but with that also comes the most pressure. At most G5 schools, a coach can have a losing record for a few years before they are considered on the hot seat. In the Big 12 and ACC, a coach is given at least two years, and the Big 10 normally gives a year or two if they have proven to be great in the past. In the SEC, every year is a new year, and past success matters very little. Good Coaches Who Have Been Fired When we think of SEC…

Love it or hate it, there is no denying that Texas fans are very passionate about college football. Over the past 70 years or so, their iconic hand sign of ‘horns up’ has become a symbol in college football that almost every fan recognizes as quickly as someone giving a thumbs up or holding up the number one. With that, the ‘Hook’em Horns’ has also become quite popular for opposing teams anytime they do something big against the Longhorns. The Texas faithful have been very vocal and annoyed by it, resulting in penalties being thrown against the opposing team in…

Legendary head coach Jeff Tedford has announced that he will be stepping down from Fresno State amid health concerns. In a statement, he released the following: “It is with sad emotions that following my recent medical check-up, it is clear that due to health concerns, my family and I have made the decision to step aside as Fresno State’s head coach and allow someone else to lead the football program.” Jeff Tedford Has Stepped Away Before This isn’t the first time Tedford has had to step away from the game because of health concerns. In 2019, Tedford suffered from atrial…

The Baltimore Ravens just received some nice recognition. ESPN is releasing its Top 100 athletes of the 21st century (so far), and to this point, athletes ranked 76-100 have been released. These athletes come from all over the world and range from boxing to tennis to golf and the NBA. The Most Comprehensive List of All Time Making a Top 100 list is a challenging task to undertake, but going to the extent that ESPN has gone is something that has never been done, at least for these athletes over the past 24 years. Their criteria breakdown is as follows:…

Florida State and Clemson want to be out of the ACC, and their top preference is to play in the SEC or the Big 10. However, due to the lack of AAU status, the Big 10 seems uninterested. There were rumors that the SEC was not interested in the two schools, considering that they are already in the SEC footprint, but on Monday, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey put a nail in the coffin. Greg Sankey Opens Up SEC Media Days, Shutting Down the Debate SEC Media Days is the Super Bowl for SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. It is the only…
