Duke's Daniel Jones Gets Compared To Peyton Manning, Officially Enters The Pre-Draft Hype Cycle
Duke quarterback Daniel Jones lit up the Temple Owls in the Independence Bowl today, throwing for 423 yards and five touchdowns while leading the Blue Devils to a 56-27 victory. Jones, who is exactly the kind of quarterback—a very tall white one—who tends to get football analysts and commentators in...
Towson's Solomon Uyaelunmo Throws Down Two-Handed Slam Into Wrong Basket
About halfway through the first half of Towson’s game against La Salle on Saturday, freshman forward Solomon Uyaelunmo saw an open lane to the basket, dribbled once and (kind of) dunked the ball with both hands. Unfortunately, the reason the basket in question was so open was because it belonged to ...
Urban Meyer To Unironically Co-Teach A Class On Character And Leadership At Ohio State
All appears to be forgiven in Columbus as Ohio State has already announced a plan to keep retired coach Urban Meyer on campus. In an interview with 10TV’s Dom Tiberi, Meyer revealed that he will be co-teaching a course on character and leadership at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business. He will b...
Maryland Releases Videos From Offseason Workout Where Jordan McNair Died
The University of Maryland has released surveillance video and other footage from the football team’s offseason workout on May 29, 2018 that resulted in the death by heat stroke of football player Jordan McNair. The surveillance videos add little to the story, and the parts of the videos that contai...
Dedric Lawson's Game Shouldn't Work, But It Does<em></em>
The Kansas Jayhawks under Bill Self have been so consistently good that their dominance of the Big 12 may be getting a bit boring. But if there’s ever been an especially dull Kansas squad, at least at first glance, it’s the one that’s been on the court so far this year. The Jayhawks look incredible,...
Unbeaten Buffalo May Not Be Big-Time, But They're No Fluke<em></em>
The Buffalo Bulls continued their undefeated season on Tuesday night, moving to 11-0 on the year with perhaps their most impressive win to date. After a rough start that saw them down nine early on, the Bulls rode a late charge and defeated Syracuse at the Carrier Dome 71-59. Along with an overtime ...
Disgruntled Villanova Freshman Jahvon Quinerly Apologizes For Fake-Hacking His Own Instagram
Jahvon Quinerly’s freshman season with Villanova has jumped off the rails quickly. The former five-star recruit has seen his playing time steadily decrease over the course of the young season, and he logged 48 of his 69 minutes this season in early-season blowout wins over Quinnipiac, Canisius, and ...
Stupid Rules Prevent Former UCLA Player From Winning Free Car After Winning Promotional Contest
College basketball promotional contests have a way of displaying the athletic ineptitude of fellow classmates or visiting alumni to the delight of an observing crowd. But every now and again, someone will show up to dominate the competition in way that’s just as exciting....

Hugh Freeze: "[Jesus Christ] Is The Only One I've Ever Met Who Can Handle My Junk"
Disgraced former Baylor AD Ian McCaw and fearmongering reactionary legacy kid Jerry Falwell Jr. introduced Hugh Freeze as Liberty University’s new head football coach on Friday. Everyone had a great time. Here were the best parts:...
Zion Williamson Is Human
Zion Williamson had 18 and 12 and Duke won 84-54 on Wednesday night—which would have been impressive if they hadn’t been playing the Hartford Hawks (apparently a real college basketball team and not, like, a D-League franchise). As per usual, there were powerful, highlight-reel dunks from the Blue D...
The NCAA Will Never Give UCF A Chance
The College Football Playoff bracket was set yesterday—pitting Alabama against Oklahoma and Clemson against Notre Dame—and for the second year in a row, the undefeated UCF Knights are nowhere to be found. Just as they had to settle for the Peach Bowl against Auburn last season, UCF will play LSU, a...
Iggy Brazdeikis Is God's Honest Truth
Wednesday night’s game between North Carolina and Michigan featured two of the most hyped freshmen of this college basketball season, and both of them played for the Tar Heels. There was UNC’s starting point guard Coby White, a five-star from the state with great hair who has come into a Top-15 pr...
College Basketball's New Ranking Metric Is Already Just As Weird As RPI
Before this season, the NCAA announced that they were killing RPI—the long-maligned metric for determining who should make the NCAA Tournament—and replacing it with a new metric called NET. The move, on its face, was a good one: RPI was a terrible ranking system that only factored in winning percen...
Two Arkansas Football Players Suspended For Flirting With Opponent's Cheerleaders Instead Of Warming Up
Arkansas football coach Chad Morris announced today that defensive backs Kamren Curl and Ryan Pulley would be suspended for this week’s game against Missouri over some high school football-ass behavior. The pair apparently spent some time before last weekend’s embarrassing 52-6 loss to Mississippi S...
How Good Is Michigan?
An early shock in the young college basketball season happened just outside of Philadelphia last night, as the Michigan Wolverines went to Villanova and absolutely crushed the defending national champions, winning 73-46 in a rematch of last April’s title game. It’s extremely early in the year, and b...
Patrick Ewing Said "Nuts" On National TV And Giggled
The mighty Georgetown Hoyas downed Illinois in an 88-80 thriller last night to improve to 3-0 in the season. Second-year head coach Patrick Ewing praised the team in his post-game interview, calling out freshman James Akinjo for showing some “nuts,” before catching himself and revising his statement...
Suit: Ex-MSU Staffer Says He Didn't Try Covering Up Sexual Assault, Was "Mentoring Student Athletes"
A former Michigan State football employee whose contract wasn’t renewed after police said he investigated a sexual assault complaint made against several football players without reporting it is suing the university. In his lawsuit, filed on Monday, Curtis Blackwell says that Michigan State ended hi...
Cal's Defensive Turnaround Is A Marvel<em></em>
Two seasons ago, the California Golden Bears had one of the most abominable defenses in the country. Cal allowed opponents to score an astonishing 42.6 points per game (the second-worst in the nation among FBS schools), rack up 518.3 yards per game (fourth-worst), and rush for 272.9 yards per game (...
Mike Gundy Blames Transfers On "Liberalism" And "The Snowflake"
Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy, a man who knows exactly when to turn the volume up on his wacky good ol’ boy persona in order to keep people from realizing he might be losing his touch, is doing just that....
Zach Smith Is Having Another Meltdown On Twitter
Former Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith—who was fired this summer after an alleged history of domestic violence against his ex-wife, Courtney, came to light—is back to melting down on Twitter in an effort to prove, I suppose, that the reports about his anger issues are totally inaccurate. Today...
