Wake Forest Kicker Shanks Field Goal After Forgetting He's Part Of The Field Goal Unit
“Practice makes perfect” is certainly a mantra Wake Forest kicker Nick Sciba adheres to.

Notre Dame Was Never Special And Never Will Be
Leave it to Notre Dame to take a cheating scandal (if the skylarking of college athletes can even be called a scandal anymore) and somehow use it to buff its own halo. No one does exceptionalism and shabby gentility quite like the Domers, who were always less exceptional and a little shabbier than t...

Fat-Guy Quarterback Scores Fat-Guy Two-Point Conversion
Ordinarily we only get to see a fat guy score because of a mistake—an interception at the line of scrimmage, a fumble into the hands of the nearest lineman who rumbles for the endzone—but Notre Dame has provided a game-changer: 340-pound nose tackle Louis Nix. That's him, intentionally lining up as ...
Somebody Took Over Manti Te'o's Old Twitter Account And Is Reviving His Old Tweets—Including Those To Lennay Kekua
Just when we thought things on the Manti Te'o/Lennay Kekua front were over, they got weird again.

Manti Te'o Says That If He Were Still Embarrased By The Whole Fake Girlfriend Thing, He Wouldn't Have Come To The Combine
