Pac 12, Big 10 Enter Into A Sports Alliance
Starting next year, the Pac 12 and Big Ten will begin to feature games between all 24 teams in the two leagues in every sport -- including football. The cooperative agreement is a way for the leagues to derive some of the benefits from expansion without actually having to do the heavy lifting. The...
What is Jim Delany up to?
There was a bit of news the last few days that hasn't really gotten a lot of play and I am curious what you lot think about it. JIM DELANY WANTS TO PAY PLAYERS TO PLAY FOOTBALL AT MICHIGAN!!!! OMGZ! Well, at other schools too. And he is only paying an additional $8.22 a day. In the past Jim...

My fellow Texas fans: Please set aside your animosity and neurosis for a brief moment and revel in all that is good about the holiday spirit and the bowl season to come. For there is still football to be played. If that is not enough, Andy Williams will join us for a song later, plus Shields...
Backyard Football -- Big 10 Style
Wrigley Field in Chicago will host its first college football game in 72 years Saturday when Northwestern (7-3) plays Illinois (5-5). It was set up last April, and both sides signed off on the setup, which has the field running from the 3rd base dugout to right field. Then Wednesday they let the...

The Big 10 announced its divisional spit this afternoon, and as expected, they put Michigan and Ohio State on opposite sides. When Nebraska joins the league in 2011, the Big 10 + 2 will have a conference championship game, addressing the problem of having their champion finish their season in...
jones Top Ten 2010 Season Preview
Ponder South Carolina. I use "ponder" as a verb here, not as reference to some mythical Conroy-esque small southern town. To be precise: meditate with me on the South Carolina Gamecock football team; for I believe they are the greatest program the sport has ever known. The ‘cocks—whose fans sport...
Farewell To The Huskers, Part 1
I see this as a three part series dealing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Part 1 will discuss the roots of NU’s success, Part 2 will discuss what went wrong in the Big 12, and Part 3 will discuss what the future may hold for the Huskers. First off, let’s salute Nebraska for what it means to college...
The New Big 12-2: How Does It Stack Up?
Big 12-2 Weakness I took the last five years of performance (final AP rankings), threw out Nebraska and Colorado, and found myself raising an eyebrow. I'm using rankings because forced rankings against peers, however flawed, at least assigns a useful hierarchy. Some observations: - Since 2005,...
