Well folks, we made it. Another season of college football nearly in the books. The only thing left is to determine one true champion. If y’all endured the grind of two absurdly boring New Year’s Six games, or (hopefully) just caught the highlights, you already know who’s playing. Alabama bested Cincinnati, impressing on the viewing ...

Yo, yo, and hello college football fans. Hope you had a marvelous Christmas/Hannukah/Diwali/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice! Normally I start things off here with some meditative intro about the week’s games or life in general, but we’ve got a schedule to keep, and a ton of games to preview, so we’re gonna get right into it! Peach Bowl ...

Welcome to the holiday season, folks! This weekend, most of us will be decking the halls and hanging with friends and family.  There’ll be joy, gift-giving, mistletoe, a sumptuous dinner, and snow (if you’re lucky).  There’s a reason Bing Crosby (or Frank Sinatra, one of them, whatever) calls this the Most Wonderful Time Of The ...

Then, I sat at a feast of a different kind last Saturday, as Rivalry Week delivered in a huge way. Watching Michigan finally get a dub ...

What’s your favorite cut of meat? (I promise, this will eventually go in a college football direction.) There’s really no wrong answer. So many animals have tasty meat. And being hunter-gatherers, us humans have figured out so many ways to serve the humble animal muscle that it’s ridiculous. (Unless you’re a vegan, in which case, ...

Every true college football fan knows the feeling. As November winds down, every fan feels some trepidation. An itch in the pit of your gut you can’t solve. A fever you can’t sweat out. (That last sentence was for Dan.) Rooting for a team that’s excelled? Nerves mount as you hope the squad finishes strong ...

Part of growing up is knowing what you don’t know. When you’re a kid, you learn by observing and asking. Originally, your knowledge just comes from your home life. Then you go to school and talk to your friends and maybe pay attention to class. Greater perspective means you know more. As the circle you ...
