Bob Griese is back after serving his one-week sentence for speculating on the gastronomic predilections of Juan Pablo Montoya - working today’s Iowa-Northwestern game.

Admirable move by ESPN to make a statement about the proper promotion of diversity in sports.  But last night, a graphics guy on Louisiana Tech-Boise State broadcast might’ve gone a little overboard […]

Before the season started, one particularly intrepid reporter for OREGONLIVE.COM noticed that Stanford coaches were enamored with fullback Owen Marecic, and that Marecic had also been playing well at linebacker in practice. That reporter, Ken Goe, said that Marecic “may play two ways next season,” despite the fact that making a man play 60 minutes […]

In case you hadn’t heard, it sounds like Ohio State is going to wear some throwback uniforms for their annual tilt with Michigan on November 21. We saw a blurry camera pic of the jersey yesterday and scratched our heads; it hardly looked like a throwback, just another future-tron white jersey that are all over […]

Ah, the old “My computer was hacked” defense. If I had a nickel for every time that one was used … um, do they have nickel slot machines anymore? Crap, what am I going to do with all this useless change? Brian Theriot, father of UCLA fullback Trevor Theriot, (both pictured below with Trevor’s mom, […]

Hey, remember how cool it was last week that Halloween came on a Saturday? And so that way everyone could wear their costumes to the game and what a blast we all had last week, right? Last week? As in a week ago?

(And why don’t YOU go get f**ked, pal?)

Lotsa rumors swirling the past few weeks in Central Ohio about the throwbacks Ohio State will wear for the Michigan game on November 21.

(1955 OSU Heisman winner and my ol’ pal in Columbus, Hop Cassady)
At the very least OSU did confirm the news this week, reporting that the unis are a tribute to the […]

I’m in awe this morning. Everyone is going nuts, upset at Marcus Jordan and dad Michael over Adidas dropping UCF in response to MRjr lacing Nikes last night.

(UCF readying for its ‘White’ Knight in Nike?)
But after talking to two prominent sports marketing execs this morning, all indications are that Nike will soon swoop in […]

Okay, we’re thinking of a football conference over by the West Coast, where one team enjoys a seemingly perpetual stranglehold on the conference, routinely running the table or slipping once to an opponent who had no shot at the title. Are we talking about the Pac-10 and USC in the Pete Carroll era (minus this […]

Part of the reinvention process that Tim Brewster has been helping the Minnesota Golden Gophers undertake - and lord knows they need it - is a return to their glory days of several decades ago. That means no more Metrodome; instead, they’ve got a brand-new open-air joint, TCF Bank Stadium, with state of the art […]

In the Big Ten’s best game of the week (and one of the best of the season thus far) on Saturday, Ohio State travels to Penn State in a top 15 clash that’ll effectively decide two of the top three places in the conference. It’s a rematch of last year’s epic battle in Columbus, where […]
