Stephen Strasburg Debuts Tonight
I generally view televised MLB as a trip to the dentist's chair, but I'm not immune to the hype. And tonight the hype lands in Washington DC. The Nationals have already issued 187 media credentials - about the same as a World Series game, and they're anticipating a sell-out. One of many on the...
But they don't play anybody!
It's another run at perfection and the scheduling snobs have returned with their tired and boring argument that Utah doesn't deserve to be anywhere in the BCS picture because they just don't play anyone. This year, they actually do have somewhat of a case because the Utes have had a steady diet of...
And boom goes the dynamite
The 2010 recruiting day is over. Exhausted? I am. It was a pretty spectacular day for the Utes, who, according to Rivals, produced the 32nd best class nationally and tops for a non-BCS team. Speculation aside, I'm pretty excited about this class. If we're going on subjective rankings alone - it's...
Revisiting the 2005 Nebraska Recruiting Class
Remember all the excitement five years ago amongst Husker fans who follow recruiting? After years of subpar rated recruiting classes, Bill Callahan launched Husker football into the stratosphere of college recruiting. Tom Lemming of ESPN ranked them "No. 1, without a doubt." Rivals.com ranked...
Five questions entering the USU game
Certainly we have our doubts about whether these Utes are built for another great season. Unfortunately, we probably won't have an idea whether that's the case until week three (though we could know if it isn't the case). Which means these questions surrounding Utah will be mostly left unanswered...
Mandel: Texas-Florida Would Be The Ultimate Clash
SI's Stewart Mandel weighs in on why he thinks a Texas-Florida Rose Bowl would be the granddaddy of them all. Mark it down: On Jan. 7, 2010, the Florida Gators and Texas Longhorns will meet on a football field for the first time in nearly 70 years. The teams' anticipated showdown in Pasadena,...
Are the Utes overrated?
It's not a surprise the Utes are receiving a great deal of preseason praise, I mean, they did just finish the best season in school history. However, how much of that praise is realistic and can Utah live up to these lofty goals? To show that I am not completely biased as a blogger, I'm going to...
Marlon Lucky's Husker Finale
Thursday's Gator Bowl will be the final game in a Husker uniform for I-back Marlon Lucky. Still bothered by a turf toe injury, he's available to play though it's unclear just how the injury will affect his performance. I expect he'll start, but with the emergence of Roy Helu, it's unclear just...
Living up to the hype
When you're good, hype generally seems to follow. For Utah, we've seen various degrees of hype over the past several years and unfortunately, most of the time the Utes have failed to live up to all that preseason buzz. Hype builds often by the success of the team's prior year. We saw that in 2004,...
Heisman or "Who Gives a Crapsman"?
The Heisman Trophy is upon us this evening. I haven't been able to sleep lately - the excite being too much to bare. We know the four candidates that have been invited to New York: Darren McFadden, Chase Daniel, Tim Tebow and that pass-slinging quarterback from Hawaii, Colt Brennan. Tebow could...
