College Athletic Departments Blow Millions On Fancy Stickers

The LSU Tigers lost tonight to Wake Forest in basketball while their football team was scoring a bunch on Texas Tech.

D.J. Chark’s at the end of his second year in an LSU uniform, but it took until tonight’s Texas Bowl for him to ever touch the football in a real game. We’ll expect he touches it plenty in the future after taking his first touch 79 yards and for a touchdown....

How Not To Run A Fake Field Goal
The New Mexico Bowl, one of the more mediocre matchups out of approximately one million mediocre bowl matchups this year, is on and popping.

UMass Basketball Player Motivated By Mom Shutting Off His Phone's Data
UMass guard Trey Davis hit a slump in the team’s recent schedule, with a .263 shooting percentage in the Minutemen’s three last losses.

This summer, Kevin Sumlin dismissively quoted the hoary old football platitude that “if you have two quarterbacks, you really have none,” bragging that with Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray on his team, both young, former five-star recruits, the Aggies were in pretty good shape. He maybe shouldn’t have t...
