WKU Accidentally Recovers Onside Kick

Western Kentucky’s putting a real beatdown on MTSU today, and things got even worse for the Blue Raiders when the Hilltoppers’ attempt at a squib kick ended up in WKU hands. We’re mostly surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often....

410-Pound Baylor Tight End Has Great Moves, Catches Touchdown Pass

LaQuan McGowan is a 6’7”, 410 pound tight end for Baylor. That’s impressive enough, but consider the move he puts on a Kansas defender here to find the end zone and give the Bears a 38-7 second quarter lead....

Auburn Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn announced yesterday that he had dismissed wide receiver D’haquille “Duke” Williams from the team.

Myles Jack Will Be Just Fine

Two weeks after a season-ending injury, UCLA junior linebacker Myles Jack has announced his withdrawal from school and his intention to enter next spring’s NFL draft.

Arizona State Reminds Fans: We Don't Trust You To Not Use Blackface, So Please Don't Paint Your Faces

The Hell Are You Doing, ESPN?

UCLA's Kicker Inadvertently Tackling A Guy With His Helmet, In Extreme Slow Motion

UCLA kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn got blown up while serving as the Bruins’ last chance to stop a Tim White kick return. But Arizona State didn’t take the kick to the house, because Fairbairn’s helmet brought White down. It’s Pac-12 after dark, at least on the east coast....

Washington State Tries Fake Punt, Gives Up Touchdown Instead

Washington State’s still holding onto a narrow lead over 24th-ranked Cal today, but this thoroughly ruined fake punt put the Bears back in the game. We don’t blame the Cougars for trying the fake—4th and 1 at midfield is prime time to go for it, really—but punters are not running backs....

Foul-Mouthed Indiana Heckler Profane, Repetitive

Fans watching today’s Ohio State-Indiana game couldn’t help but notice a foul-mouthed heckler standing near one of ESPN’s crowd microphones. He carried on for several minutes in this profane fashion, though he really should work on finding some new material....

Texas Player Tweets About Transferring During Halftime Of Blowout

TCU is currently sleepwalking through the second half of a seismic blowout over Texas in Fort Worth.

Reporting Is Ugly

I spent one Christmas knocking on the doors of the parents of murdered children. The families were gathered around the trees in their living rooms, sobbing loudly or sitting quietly in shock. I asked grieving mothers to describe their dead boys. What were they like? What will you miss most about the...
