Skip Holtz will try to beat the team Daddy Lou used to coach! How awesome is that?! So awesome that it's a network game! Oh, pretty much every Notre Dame game is on NBC, you say? Of course it is. Because that's how it was foretold. More »

Hopefully, the poor girl in the huge sunglasses got to finally suck down that funnel she'd been diligently training for all day. She seemed rattled. [YouTube] More »

For potential heart-attack fetishists, there's Illinois at Michigan State. For sadists, B.C. at Florida State or Minnesota at Purdue. For the righteous/godless, Western Michigan at Notre Dame. For college-football addicts, there's Missouri at Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at Georgia. More »

FSU's 14 forfeited wins puts Bobby Bowden a distant second in number of all-time D1 victories. The dignified thing to do would be to accept it, move on, and try to outlive outlast JoePa. That's not how Bobby rolls. More »

Texas beat Texas A&M 49-9 yesterday. They're now 11-1. But unless you were in Texas you had no idea this game was happening. Even I didn't think to check this score until late Thursday night. That's because I spent Thanksgiving with family. Included in part of my day was a trip to Ford Field to watch the Titans destroy the Lions in person. Watching a team get beat as badly as the Lions was kind of uncomfortable. Especially when your wife's family is mostly Lions fans. It's kind of sad. Don't get me wrong, as a Titans fan it was great, but the Detroit fans were so abusive of their team it was like watching a couple you know is about to be divorced get into a nasty verbal fight in a room full of people. You want to tune it out and enjoy your day, but you just can't. The infinite variety of unique and fascinating ways I heard the Lions cursed yesterday could fill a novel. And the entire time I felt like I shouldn't be hearing it all, like this was something that should be happening behind closed doors. Anyway, on to a weekend in college football where Oregon, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Virginia, and Florida State all have a chance to ruin their most-hated in-state rivals' season. More »

It's nice to report news when an athlete does something admirable. Florida State safety Myron Rolle interviewed with the Rhodes Scholarship committee in Birmingham, Alabama before flying to meet his team in Maryland to help them beat the Terps. And he won a scholarship in the process. More »

I suppose even the genius who schedules Thursday night games at ESPN is entitled to a mulligan. That's the only explanation for how Florida State at N.C. State ended up tonight's featured game. N.C. State is 2-4 and Florida State is 4-1. N.C. State has taken down William and Mary and East Carolina, Florida State has looked decent except for the offensive implosion against Wake Forest. But Wake is an ACC juggernaut who has beaten FSU three times in a row so we're supposed to forgive that flaw. FSU opened as a 12 point favorite over N.C. State and let's be clear, I'm not even going to pretend this is the most interesting game tonight. Because it isn't remotely close to as good of a game as BYU at TCU. Even if "Jeopardy!" stud Ken Jennings thinks BYU sucks. More »
