WILL THE BCS GET ANOTHER MULLIGAN?
October 28, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
This week brings the last weekend of October and lots of Halloween parties with college football on in the background. However, this is no week to ignore college football, as the undefeated team club is trimmed to a thin 7, which is a little smaller than average for seven weeks into a season. However, the potential is there for many different outcomes. One only has to review the past three seasons to see when the BCS....[MORE]
HOOPS PREVIEW: 2010-2011 LOW-MAJORS
October 25, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
My first column of the year is always the most controversial. That’s because it’s always a preview of the “low-major” conferences—and to fans of these leagues, “low-major” is the dirtiest, filthiest slur you could ever utter. It’s just a classification system, people. I define low-majors as perennial one-bid leagues in the NCAA Tournament. Mid-major leagues are in contention for at-large selections, and the high-majors are....[MORE]
WOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILD PLAY FOOTBALL?
October 20, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Sometimes an issue boils up without anyone noticing and then breaks out with one big week or month. As Rutgers defensive tackle made a head-first stop on an Army kick returner this weekend, the issue of concussions and the increasing violence of football took prominence once again. Eric LeGrand just happens to be the unlucky player who may never walk again after a spinal cord injury at the neck paralyzed him from....[MORE]
HOW TO DEFINE A DIGITAL-AGE DYNASTY?
October 14, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Over the course of decades and generations, college football has had some great teams and more than its fair share of memorable moments. Some teams and programs go a step further and become dynasties. While it is never easy to see a dynasty in progress, when you look back at history they stand out clear as the digital display on your smartphones. One of my fellow sportwriters Ivan Maisel posed a question this week....[MORE]
MANY LESSONS LEFT TO BE LEARNED
October 7, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Five weeks into the 13 week long college football season, it is painfully clear that some coaches and conferences around the country need to learn their lesson. Lesson number one comes right at the top of the polls as Alabama is proving once again why they are the only real elite team in the SEC and in the country at large. Put the toughest conference schedule in front of the Tide, and they roll on through like it is not even....[MORE]
GAMEDAY REPORT: BATTLE FOR THE ILLIBUCK
October 2, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Welcome to another edition of Gameday Report, coming to you today from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Today's battle pits two old rivals for the Illibuck Trophy, as Ohio State visits Illinois. This game would sorely test the Buckeyes perhaps for the first time although Miami did get close in the third quarter. When the Buckeyes lost their field general and the man behind 90% of their offense up to the third quarter....[MORE]
GAMEDAY PREVIEW: OHIO STATE AT ILLINOIS
October 1, 2010
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
It may be hard to believe, but Ohio State and Illinois are old rivals that used to be a heated as Michigan and Ohio State. The action on the field has also been very close over the years, with Illinois always being a thorn in OSU's side over the past decade. The two times Illinois has won the Big Ten title and gone to the BCS in the past decade, they defeated Ohio State in Columbus to do it. This year's battle will be in Memorial....[MORE]
