Texas has backed out of the proposed home-and-home series with Minnesota. Originally set for 2015/16, the series was dropped after lengthy negotiaions failed to resolve a breakdown over video rights. The two athletic departments couldn't come to an agreement over how the schools could use the...
Interesting College Basketball Saturday
I counted 96 games. That's what you do during 2:00 am baby feedings. You count shit. Sometimes literally. Anyway, with that many games there's always going to be a few that catch your interest and here are some games that have caught mine. Minnesota vs. Michigan State 11 central. These two...
Mack Brown Coaching Tree May Lose A Branch

Week 3 National Wrap Up- Shoot Me
"Shoot me." Seconds after Michigan State’s Charlie Gantt caught a pass from holder Aaron Bates and scampered to the endzone for the game winning touchdown that was all that I could think of to say. A short 48 hours later I still feel the same way. It was a brutal way to end an otherwise mildly...

OFD 2010 Preseason Preview- Big Ten
Our preseason preview moves on to the Big Ten. Here are links to the first three installments on the SEC, Big 12 and ACC if you missed them. If we are going to call the Big 12 the Big 12-2 I suppose we can start referring to the Big Ten as the Big 11+1. Does it matter? I personally feel like the...
The Notre Dame Rivalry & Opponent Index (Part 2 of 3)
In part one of the Notre Dame Rivalry and Opponent Index, we only scratched the surface of the teams involved in this collection. Hopefully, we all learned something. Who knew Carnegie Tech was such a thorn in Knute Rockne's side and gave the Notre Dame legend nearly 17 percent of his career...
