Washington State Fan Punches Washington Tight End Austin Seferian-Jenkins
The Cougars beat the visiting Washington Huskies by a field goal in overtime in front of 30,000 fans Friday night. As you can see at around the :13 mark on the 45 yard line in the video above, the overtime win was apparently not enough for one fan who was out for blood....
It's Official: Somehow Florida, Of All Damn Teams, Was Thoroughly Underrated This Year

Did Penn State Coach Bill O'Brien Call His Team "A Bunch Of Fuckers" In His Post-Game Interview?
Penn State closed out a difficult season with a memorable overtime win against Wisconsin, and a choked-up Bill O'Brien spoke fondly of his team in the post-game interview on ESPN2.

Losses By Oregon, Kansas State Ensure All-SEC Title Game
Welp, it happened. Kansas State, once thought unbeatable†, loosed the SI-cover-jinx-aided mother of all bedshits Saturday.

Reports: The Big Ten Wants Maryland And Rutgers
Pat Forde and ESPN are reporting that serious talks are afoot to fold Maryland and Rutgers into the Big Ten. Not only would that create a 14-member conference that'd surely be the biggest Ten in the world, it would reopen the scabby wound of major conference realignment. The ACC, the Terps' current ...

After Blown Call And Ensuing Freakout, One Journo Wonders If Penn State Football Should Have Received The Death Penalty
I think you'd probably have to call Chris Otto brave. Not because the sports editor of the York Daily Record is taking a principled stand, or because his opinion is correct, but because he's doing it knowing exactly what the public reaction would be. (Take a look at his Twitter mentions for a taste....
