Now <em>That</em> Was A Damn Football Game
We didn't know if Jameis Winston and Florida State could do it. That's not an impugnment of their talent, only a fact: These Seminoles, dominant on both sides of the ball, hadn't trailed in a game since September. But that's what practice is for, and every week, FSU runs a drill. The first-team offe...
Tim Tebow Predicted Florida State To Win 35-31
Just before kickoff, when tasked by Rece Davis to predict a final score in tonight's BCS Championship game, ESPN's Tim Tebow predicted the Seminoles would win 35-31. He was only off by one point....
Florida State Wins A Positively Bonkers BCS Championship Game
Florida State looked to be shit out of luck tonight thanks to a taunting penalty after a scoring drive. The Noles quickly bounced back and returned a kickoff to go ahead of Auburn 27-24. The final minutes were an insane back-and-forth, but Florida State hung on to beat Auburn 34-31....

By Any Rational Measure, FSU Is The Better Team. So What?
College bowl games are far too fleeting and superfluous to serve as the basis for any lasting conclusions, even about the teams playing in them. In fact, if the 2013-14 bowl season has taught us anything–and I'd really prefer that it hasn't, but if it has, in spite of itself–it is that attempting to...
An FSU Teacher Loses The Battle Against Football Culture
The most disturbing part of the scandal surrounding Jameis Winston—sexual assault allegations that the state attorney declined to bring to trial—was the reaction on campus. Threats, conspiracy theories, victim-blaming and witness intimidation. It was frustrating to those FSU teachers who figure coll...
Arkansas State's "Hide The Midget" Trick Play Worked To Perfection

Urban Meyer's Wicked Game
Urban Meyer was unable to lead the Buckeyes to an Orange Bowl win last night, falling 40-35 in an error-prone game that proved to be the first bowl loss for Meyer since the 2007 season. It's also a consecutive loss for the Urbz, something he'd only experienced three times previously in his career....
Ok. St.'s Final Possession Was Alternatingly Electric And Maddening
For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with t...

Tuscaloosa Police Scanner Broadcasts 'Bama Family Watching Sugar Bowl

At The 1960 Cotton Bowl, A Syracuse Win And A Nasty Racial Ruckus
In January 1960, an undefeated Syracuse team whipped Texas, 23-14, in the Cotton Bowl. [See rare photos from the game here.] But it wasn't especially pretty, as LIFE magazine reported in its Jan. 11, 1960, issue: ...
