Week 7 National Wrap Up- That Didn’t Take Long
Exactly one week after sliding into a #1 ranking that was vacated by Alabama, Ohio State ran into some problems of their own in Madison. So it would appear that when the polls start rolling out here in a few hours that Oregon could slide into that #1 slot despite the fact that they were idle this...
Week 7 National Preview- Who Falls Next?
Last weekend we saw Alabama fall from their #1 perch after being upset by South Carolina. This weekend new #1 Ohio State travels to #16 Wisconsin, unranked Texas visits #4 Nebraska and #13 Arkansas visits #7 Auburn. So who falls next? Below are the games that I am most interested in this week....
Dressed To Impress: Examining the New Uniforms of 2010
A few weeks ago I took a look at this year’s new Nike Pro Combat uniforms burning corneas and exploding HD televisions all over the nation. Needless to say, I thought this year’s crop from Nike (with some exceptions, e.g. Oregon State) was a giant puddle of pathetic design on par with the...
Week 3 National Wrap Up- Shoot Me
"Shoot me." Seconds after Michigan State’s Charlie Gantt caught a pass from holder Aaron Bates and scampered to the endzone for the game winning touchdown that was all that I could think of to say. A short 48 hours later I still feel the same way. It was a brutal way to end an otherwise mildly...

Has your significant other been on your case about being glued to the television the past two Saturdays? Don’t sweat it, the powers that be have got you covered this weekend. The early games are pretty bad and the mid afternoon games aren’t much better. You can get caught up on things around...
Week 1 National Wrap Up- Buy Games Can Be Dangerous
Week one is in the books and if nothing else it was entertaining. There were a handful of good games and several buy games that floated by in the standard boring fashion. A couple of teams did manage to get caught looking which always makes for quality entertainment so long as it isn’t your team...
Week 1 National Preview- Buy Games
We can finally start discussing some actual games! Each week during the season we will take a look around the country and discuss what we see as the games of interest. While the Notre Dame game is automatic there are several other matchups each week that we will keep an eye on for one reason or...
2005 vs. 2010: Which Notre Dame Schedule Is Harder?
Five years ago Notre Dame was breaking in another new coach and looking to reassert itself as an elite program after nearly a decade of tumultuous ups and downs on the football field. Today, it’s a similar story as Brian Kelly enters his first season in South Bend looking to do the same thing his...
The Notre Dame Rivalry & Opponent Index (Part 3 of 3)
We've got the bulk of the teams done, but there is one more installment to complete the Notre Dame Rivalry and Opponent Index. In part two we saw Notre Dame's domination over Minnesota and Alabama in relatively small series', while Syracuse and Tennessee both have tied the Irish overall. Notre...
OFD 2010 Preseason Preview- Pac 10
After taking a look at the SEC, Big 12, ACC and Big Ten I am confident that we are in for a wide open race to the BCS in 2010. As we press on to the Pac 10 that assessment remains the same. No BCS conference appears more primed for chaos than the Pac 10 does is this fall. There appears to be...
