At the end of the first round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, the defending NFC champion Chicago Bears drafted tight end Greg Olsen.

Seriously, Arkansas Fans Are Insane

Following College Football, One Stadium At A Time
So here's a novel concept: Some 23-year-old kid named Dave has made it his life's goal to visit all 119 Division I-A college football stadiums before he turns 30. (It is important to aim high!) It's called Project 119, and he has of course set up a site to document his travels....

They Have A Love For Nick Saban That I Can't Comprehend
Fifty-one thousand is a lot of people to show up to a college football scrimmage, and before yesterday, that was the all-time Alabama record.

Apparently, The Weather Was Warm In LA This Weekend

Wild Times In Fayetteville
So you know last week, when all that information about Arkansas coach Houston Nutt came out thanks to a resourceful fan?

Joe Tiller Has Had It Up To Here With Your HTML

Ever Wonder Who Houston Nutt Talks To? Today's Your Lucky Day!

Legendary college football coach Eddie Robinson died last night at the age of 88.
