Beats an NCAA logo image, right?!
With no on-field football activity to address, there’s been a flurry of stories breaking down historical and real time troubles schools are having following the five inch thick NCAA bylaws.
On one hand, I want to think the amount of rules and the depth of their specificity is too much for [...]
Much better than coaching 7th grade basketball.
Before any of you think we have this much pull, I was fortunate enough to coach basketball with Paul back in the mid-90’s when we both lived in Iowa City. We were in our first year of coaching and the school put us in charge of the “B” [...]

Spielman’s porn ’stache will be inducted in 2010
Finally, Chris Spielman has been elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.
He becomes the 28th Buckeye to receive the honor and I can’t stress enough how happy I am personally to be able to post the news on our site. Besides being my favorite Buckeye of all [...]

In case you don’t get 1460 The Fan which is likely if you live outside the outerbelt, Herbstreit and Spielman had a great back and forth yesterday as they discussed this Saturday’s clash.
With tongues somewhat in cheek, the two didn’t paint a pretty picture when discussing the Wolverines and what they expect to occur in [...]
If a dog is gonna bite…
If you consider yourself among those that think DeVier Posey should be seeing more balls, you may get your wish this weekend. Due to the vicious hit Dane Sanzenbacher took last weekend, he’s not listed on this week’s depth chart and you have to assume we won’t be seeing [...]
