Texas A&M Has Added Fine Print To Those Conference Championships It Invented Over The Summer

Some College In Minnesota Painted Its Midfield Logo On The Wrong Yard Line

An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions

Is Da'Rick Rogers About To Set An (FCS) Receiving Yards Record? [UPDATE: No]
Da'Rick Rogers has hit a couple pot holes in his college football career: he committed to Georgia, but went back on that commitment and drew the wrath of the Bulldog fan base.

The Ohio University Marching Band Doing That Gangnam Style Thing Is Actually Pretty Good
I wanted to hate it, you know? Hot viral microshare reblog blah blah blah. But I also wanted to hate the actual video, and that's obviously the shit, so what can you do? These stupid nerds rocked it.

He didn't get fired because he stopped Dabo Swinney for speeding, he got fired because he posted about it on a message board later after feeling that he needed to "clear the air."
