Dear Charlie, It's not you, it's me. Actually...it is you. But this is something we need to do, and I hope we can do it amicably. I want to start by saying, "Thank you." You're a Notre Dame guy...
Writers and broadcasters put words in Jimmy Clausen's mouth when they recount how he predicted national championships on that April 2006 commitment day at the College Football Hall of Fame...
It's all about ego. If Charlie Weis truly loved Notre Dame as he says he does, would he put his aside for the betterment of the Irish? I am not a Weis-hater...
I think I speak for all Notre Dame and Pittsburgh fans when I say, "Yes. We want a little zing in our zang-zang." Like most college cities, we could do without Big & Rich. But if Fowler, Corso, Desmond, and Herbstreit come along, we'll deal with it...
The Southeastern Conference sticks together. Spend an entire holiday season attending West Coast bowl games, and you'd never hear a Pac-10 pride chant...
Lucky Number Seven has a special place in Luck of the Irish lore. Three Notre Dame All-Americans have donned the number seven jersey. So did one of the school's seven Heisman Trophy winners...
Think of bowls as businesses. They conduct campus recruiting just like Accenture, Google, and Matt Leinart. And if you were CEO of the Sugar Bowl, you'd be actively pulling for Notre Dame and Alabama to win out...
College football often boils down to coaching and quarterbacking. But if 2009 has taught us anything, it's that the former is a whole lot more important than the latter. Winning teams across the country are overcoming their quarterback play...
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Remember back in August when Florida LB Brandon Spikes accused the Sooners of playing dirty in the BCS title game? Here were his exact words : "Compared to Oklahoma, you won't find anyone (as dirty)...
The rash of citations and arrests for alcohol-related issues had reached unprecedented levels. School officials were actively combating the notion that Iowa football was facing an epidemic, and head coach Kirk Ferentz's seat had never been hotter...
He had delayed NFL millions—made the most improbable decision in college football history—and this was Sam Bradford's reward...
"He's not doing good," Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy said on Monday when asked how All-American wide receiver Dez Bryant is handling his ineligibility...
The implications of this game are astounding and range from BCS Championship hopes to future recruiting hauls. I've also written about what Saturday's showdown means for Charlie Weis' future...
There's a perception among Notre Dame fans and detractors alike that head coach Charlie Weis must beat USC this weekend to preserve his job...
Desperate to make amends for its 1-6 bowl performance and reverse its reputation as a degenerating football conference, this is not where the Big Ten expected to be...
Who's failing more frequently: The AP pollsters or the coaching staffs at top-ranked programs? A top-five team has fallen each-and-every week of this 2009 college football season: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, USC, and Ole Miss/Penn State...
Saved by Kyle McCarthy, again. As he's been every week, Notre Dame's senior safety was the team's leading tackler against Michigan State, and his third interception in as many games saved the season and Charlie Weis' job...
Based on what we know of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, how would he handle the Derrick Rose situation? Come on, humor me. Hypothetically, a No. 1 NFL draft pick is found to have falsified his SATs...
Manageable. Ugh. It's like describing a blind date as "nice." Sure, Notre Dame's 2009 schedule is "manageable." The Irish are independent. They, like everyone else in college football, want to play seven home games...
While reading Ivan Maisel's recent article about the returning crop of Heisman candidates in 2009, I couldn't help but be struck by the disparity between what college football and basketball offer the casual observer...
The only thing that will last longer than Sunday's fifth set at Wimbledon is the memory of another epic gentlemen's final...
What's Up with Pete Carroll? It's not that headlines are associating his football program with what's going on within USC basketball. It's that USC basketball is making headlines, period...
This side of the BCS, there isn't much to complain about in college football. If you're fortunate enough to be employed by, involved or associated with the game, life doesn't get much better...
Florida's Most Anticipated Matchups As much as we'd like to see it, Urban Meyer and Lane Kiffin aren't going to get down in a three point stance anytime soon. That's Pete Carroll territory...
Top 10 College Football Jobs Look, just because we're jealous Doug Marrone got it, doesn't mean we have to leave Syracuse off this list of the best head coaching opportunities...
