Marquess Wilson Exits Washington State With A Letter Alleging Mental And Physical Abuse From Mike Leach's Coaching Staff
Marquess Wilson, suspended indefinitely from an underperforming Washington State team by head coach Mike Leach this past week, is leaving the team. He was second-team All-American last year and tops the Cougars' all-time receiving yards list. Here's the letter he gave to the Visalia Times-Delta, in ...
Deshazor Everett's Name And His Interception To Beat Alabama Are Equally Fantastic
As subplots go, the Alabama-Texas A&M game had an unexpected one from the end of the first quarter through the tense final minute: an errant extra point. Up until the decisive few seconds, when a Bama penalty on an Aggies punt killed the dregs of game clock, there lingered the question of whether...
Everybody Get Naked: Lock Haven, Owners Of The Longest Losing Streak In D-II History, Won Today
And the fans tore down the goal posts because of it! Now the rest of football season is canceled. Just kidding, it was the last game. But it probably would have been....
Marqise Lee's End-Around-Reverse Is Your College Football Play Of The Day
Marqise Lee has earned his way to becoming one of the highest-profile receivers in college football, and it's plays like this that really set the Trojan sophomore apart from pretty much everybody else in the sport. Here's Lee unilaterally turning an end-around into a reverse and gaining 36 yards ...
An Angry Tommy Tuberville Got Physical With One Of His Assistants On The Sideline
By all accounts, a ranked Texas Tech team at home ought to be spanking the hapless Kansas Jayhawks on the football field. Alas, the score's a bit tighter than one would expect—24-17 as of this writing—and Red Raiders mistakes have made head coach Tommy Tuberville a very angry panda indeed. It's e...
"Bring Hockey Back": Your Roundup Of The Best Signs Behind The College Gameday Crew
An abridged Gameday sign roundup today, because the Gameday crew was on a boat—what, you can't honor veterans on land?—and there were, as far we could tell, very few college students there with rooting interests. Which made for some weird Gameday signs!...
Texas Honors Passing Of Coach Darrell Royal By Running First Play From Wishbone, Gains 47 Yards
Legendary Texas Longhorns coach Darrell Royal passed away at 88 this week, and his former team paid tribute to him with a helmet decal and midfield logo. Current coach Mack Brown announced, too, he'd honor the man who introduced the wishbone to major college football by running UT's first offensiv...
Your College Football Open Thread
Three weeks of regular season college football left! The process by which teams go from "disappointing start" to "wait-a-minute-are-we-even-going-to-make-a-bowl-game" was set in motion months ago, but this is when everyone notices, so there should be some excellent temper tantrums across university ...
Silas Redd And The Different Types Of Losing
When star running back Silas Redd transfered from Penn State to USC in July, it seemed like an eminently reasonable decision. Redd had come to Penn State when its football program was known for its immense fan base, for Joe Paterno, and for its recent resurrection after a few down years—in the five ...

Nick Saban Cutout Stolen From Gas Station, Returned To Gas Station; Nation Exhales
We can barely keep up with all the breaking Nick-Saban-cutout news. We were just processing the horrible reports—wondering how to tell the children, really—that a life-size cutout of the Alabama coach was stolen from a Tuscaloosa gas station early this morning. We were roughly two-thirds through Küb...

This was the entirety of the statement the school issued last night:...
Auburn Has A Private Security Firm Enforcing Players' Nightly Curfews
College football players are men. They're at least 18, so they can vote, they can serve in the armed forces, they can smoke, and they can roam the streets of America until all hours, doing whatever it is college kids do, so long as they don't do anything illegal. But not at Auburn, where the program...
"Just A Hunch": To Win What Might Have Been His Biggest Game, Darrell Royal Had Texas Do The Very Thing He Hated
Former University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal despised the forward pass. "Three things can happen," he famously said of throwing the football, "and two of them are bad." In 1968, Royal rolled out a scheme that allowed Texas's offense to be effective with minimal passing. The wishbone, as i...

Jim Mora Told His Assistants To Put Some Eyeblack On And They Went Way Overboard
Via SB Nation, Jim Mora asked UCLA's assistant football coaches to put on some war paint just before the game last night, and they…obliged. The Bruins tore Arizona a new one, so it worked....
Fun (?) With Sporting Events As Predictors Of Election Results
Desperate to know how this Tuesday's election will turn out? Uninterested in complicated mathematics that can predict the winner with a fairly high degree of accuracy? Superstitious or just simple-minded? Can we interest you in…a series of sports-related coincidences?! ...
Alabama Escapes Death (Valley): Angling For Three, A Screen Pass Goes For 28 Yards And Wins It
A great game that looked like an upset deep into the fourth quarter-if you go by point spread, was something of an upset even after the final buzzer-turned into another in a long string of Alabama victories, as the Crimson Tide won 21-17 and moved to 9-0 (6-0 SEC) on the season....
Idaho Football's Last Season In The WAC Is Not Going Great
Idaho petitioned the Idaho State Board of Education for the right to leave the WAC-which will likely cease football-related operations next year-and continue playing FBS football as an independent in 2013, joining teams like BYU, Army and Navy. The right was granted, and Idaho saved its football te...
