FEAST WEEK OVER, ACC/BIG TEN EVENT NEXT
November 29, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
It was a beautiful week of basketball—but Feast Week was only the beginning. We’ve got four months left, people—starting with the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this week. It was supposed to be an early-season match-up between the nation’s top two teams—but Michigan State fell to a scorching Connecticut team in the Maui Invitational. So we’ll have to settle for a top-10 battle in East Lansing. Duke couldn’t have been more....[MORE]
THANKSGIVING WEEK BRINGS RIVALRIES
November 24, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
Although the show is not always a true indication of the biggest game in college football, 90% of the time or more the pregame show College Gameday packs up for the biggest showdown available on that week's slate of games. If you had any doubt about the weakness of national showdowns the past two weekends, all you have to do is see that Gameday went to Columbus to watch an unranked Penn State....[MORE]
FEAST WEEK HIGHLIGHTS LOADED HOOPS SLATE
November 22, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
Texas Southern played at Oklahoma and lost by 30 Thursday night. The Sooners might finish in last place in the Big 12, but that score was no surprise, right? The surprise came yesterday, when the 0-3 Tigers — who finished 17-16 last year for their first winning record in seven years — won in Corvallis and sent another crushing blow to Craig Robinson’s perplexing Oregon State program. OSU is now 1-2 this season and also....[MORE]
BEST TEAM IN THE LAND IS IN TEXAS (AGAIN)
November 17, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
Under the guidance of Mack Brown, the Texas Longhorns have flirted with and have achieved the mantle of best team in the country multiple times in this decade. In a year when the Longhorns have precipitously dropped from the national title game to perhaps no bowl game (and the Cowboys endure a legendary terrible season), the eyes of Texas have turned to a most unexpected location for football greatness: Forth Worth....[MORE]
24-HOUR MARATHON HIGHLIGHTS HOOPS WEEK
November 15, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
If a college basketball season begins and nobody’s around to see it, did it still happen? This is a deeply philosophical question that I don’t expect an answer to. It’s also a question that every single college basketball writer and blogger has asked this weekend, so much that it’s gotten to the point where I’m sick of reading about it. We get it: the beginning of the college basketball season isn’t very exciting for most people....[MORE]
FROG NATION RISES UP, BCS PICTURE CLEARS
November 11, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
The showdowns for Boise State and TCU turned out to be clunkers as both made huge statements against quality teams in Hawaii and Utah. Although the statement victories were impressive enough, the biggest boon to both of these teams was happening simultaneously in Baton Rouge. The Mad Hatter Les Miles was up to his usual tricks, sneaking his way past an Alabama team that seems a lot more mortal than they looked....[MORE]
HIGH-MAJOR PREVIEW, PLUS WEEK 1 GLANCE
November 8, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
By now, I’m sure you’ve seen all the predictions. Legitimate news outlets like ESPN, Sporting News, CBS and Fox Sports have released pre-season rankings for major conferences since September, and illegitimate news sources like, well, this one, release them all as well. I’m not trying to change the world with my predictions today—I’m just trying to get my predictions on record so I can throw them in your face in March....[MORE]
RESULTS ARE IN ON INDEPENDENCE
November 4, 2010
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
Over twenty years ago, the Big Ten conference made a landmark vote to expand from the 10 members they had continuously since Michigan State joined in 1950 to 11 overall members. The top two candidates at the time were Notre Dame, a longtime possible conference member, and Penn State, as the Big Ten preferred to not snipe a team away from another conference. Penn State jumped at the opportunity when....[MORE]

By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
In one week, college basketball begins. So you’d better start studying up. Here’s your 2010-2011 Mid-Major Preview. Despite a misstep against Cornell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Temple tore through the Atlantic Ten during the regular season last year enters 2010-2011 as the class of the league once again.
