Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah is among a short list of players worthy of early-season Heisman talk, but ESPN college football analyst and race-baiter advocate Lou Holtz doesn't even know the Cornhuskers star's name—inserting, instead, something we're sure he finds appropriately "Ay-rabbic."...

When college football teams fail to meet expectations, fans tend to turn to an old stand-by: Our coach is an all right recruiter, but he just can't coach. This is the narrative behind, for example, Will Muschamp's downturn at Florida. On the other hand, coaches who significantly exceed expectati...
Houston Lost To UCF On A Heartbreaking Play At The Goal Line
