Jackson State To Sue Grambling For Boycotting Its Homecoming Game

The Grambling football players' decision not to travel for Saturday's game left its opponent in a lurch.

Giant Pigeon Spies On Oregon Football Practice

Why Did The College Wrestling All-American Shoot The Duck?

This story is a couple of weeks old, but it somehow escaped the attention of our Ducks Desk.

Grambling Football Team Ends Boycott; Situation Still A Mess [Updated]

Oregon Fan Really, Really Didn't Like The Ducks Wearing Pink

Oregon Coach Sorry For Calling Out Mike Leach's "Low-Class Bullshit"

Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday set the FBS record for most pass attempts in a game on Saturday in a blowout loss to Oregon.

The BCS Standings Are Out

Despite Oregon being No. 2 in both the Harris and Coaches Polls (and the AP poll), the computers give the slimmest of edges to Florida State. That puts the Seminoles in pole position for the BCS Championship, but winning out probably won't be enough....

Check Out Oregon's Pink Uniform Schemes

The Oregon Ducks steamrolled Washington State 62-38 Saturday night, and they looked aesthetically pleasing doing it, donning pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It must be fun to play on a program with an infinite uniform budget. Even coach Mark Helfrich wore a pink polo....

Auburn Upsets Texas A&M In College Station

Despite what looked like a fairly painful shoulder injury, Johnny Manziel did return to the game and was effective almost immediately.

Clemson Bro's <em>College GameDay</em> Hijinks Enjoyed Best In Super Slow-Mo

College GameDay headed to Clemson for the second time this season, which meant an extra-taxing experience on the collective creativities of fans in the Greenville-Spartanburg area. Fortunately one of them decided to use his body, rather than a sign, for laughs. ...

Man, College Was Awesome: Your Clemson-FSU <i>GameDay</i> Sign Roundup

It's once again time for the Saturday afternoon tradition of oak-tag-and-sharpie bons mots. Today we are back in Death Valley where Clemson hosts Florida State this evening on ABC.
