Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Cops Covered Up Jameis Winston Case, Accuser's Family Says

Kent crushed Ohio 44-13 in Athens tonight, but the highlight for all who tuned in for #MACtion was this 61-yard fake punt by Nate Terhune, a 6'4" 265 lb. defensive lineman who played up-back on the punt team and made the most of his opportunity—hurdling a Bobcat return teamer en route to the end z...
Clemson Marching Band's Nintendo-Themed Performance Is Amazing
Ohio State isn't the only school with a marching band that can pull off awesome themed performances.

Will Muschamp Left Bloodied After Scuffle With A Chalkboard
Florida lost to South Carolina 19-14 Saturday night, but it wasn't for a lack of halftime fire-up violence from coach Will Muschamp. "'I hit a chalkboard,' he said after the game. 'Dumb.'"...
Kansas Snaps Big 12 Losing Streak; Fans Toss Goalpost Into Lake
The Kansas Jayhawks had lost 27 straight conference games before beating West Virginia 31-19 yesterday. After the win, fans took down a goalpost and chucked it into a lake. The video's best part is the guy proudly holding the small piece of goalpost. So content with himself....
Eric Ward's One-Handed TD Catch Sparked Your Most Recent Gusgasm

The Illinois Student Section Is The Saddest
So much sadness for the Illini faithful these days. The latest insult came today as Illinois hosted Ohio State and it...it did not go well. The Buckeyes rolled 60-35 and the student section was so barren it couldn't even spell shit out with signs. ...
