  • Michigan beats Virginia Tech in Sugar Bowl, 23-20

    3 Jan 2012 | 10:14 pm
    Brendan Gibbons drilled a 37-yard field goal down the middle in overtime to lift Michigan to a 23-20 victory over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl on Tuesday night. The victory capped an impressive debut season for head coach Brady Hoke, who has led the Wolverines (11-2) back to prominence with a BCS bowl victory. Denard Robinson highlighted an otherwise unspectacular night with touchdown passes of 45 and 18 yards to Junior Hemingway. Virginia Tech (11-3) had more than double Michigan's total yards, 377-184, and had 22 first downs to Michigan's 12 but settled for four field goals in regulation…

    Oregon's incredible offense busted up Wisconsin and the record books on the way to the Ducks' first Rose Bowl victory in 95 years. Darron Thomas passed for three touchdowns, De'Anthony Thomas scored on runs of 91 and 64 yards, and the No. 6 Ducks earned their first bowl victory under coach Chip Kelly, holding off Wisconsin 45-38 Monday night in the highest-scoring Rose Bowl ever played. And it wasn't over until a video review confirmed the Badgers (11-3) ran out of time at the Oregon 25, out of timeouts and unable to spike the ball in time to stop the clock for a last-gasp fling.

Now that we're in the first full week with no college football it seems as good a time as any to take an introspective glance into our sport and think about what we could do to improve it. Make no mistake. College football is booming, but there's always room to tweak this grand old game for the better.

    The New York Giants will now move ahead and face the defending champion of Super Bowl Packers in the encounter that will take place on next Sunday. They are moving forward after putting down the Atlanta Falcons in the Wild Card Game of Sunday in an NFC. The skills and portrayal of the Giants were too much for the Falcons, which is evident from the 24-2 result of the game. Everyone was anticipating a good game, but at the end of the day it was quite a one sided affair. It is to be seen how the Giants handle their potential against the defending champions of Super Bowl next Sunday at Green Bay.

Maurkice Pouncey, the All-Pro center missed the crucial encounter with AFC Wild Card Game that was held on Sunday. It was always doubtful weather Pouncey would be able to play the game or not. His presence was questionable because of his left ankle injury that kept him out of action for the whole week. On Friday, it was officially revealed that he would not be available for the game against the Denver Broncos. Just like the…

When Tebow and the Broncos began their improbable run, opposing defenses did not know how to defend against the unorthodox quarterback who relies far more on his legs than on his throwing arm. Tebow even ran several option plays during the streak that were considered to be college-only blasphemy in the…

I chose proven blue-chippers—Disney and Pepsico—and gambled on some companies I use, like Domino’s Pizza and the company that owns Miller Lite. I know very little about finances and the stock market, and realized that buying and selling stocks would be much easier if you could invest in athletes, coaches, and teams. In some cases, you can. The Green Bay Packers are publicly-owned, though purchasing stock in the team gets you no tangible rewards. You could…

    The Big East Conference and Navy are expected to announce the addition of the Midshipmen in football only beginning in 2015. The move is just the latest in a round of expansion the league has undergone in the past three months. The Big East has already announced the addition of Boise State, San Diego State, SMU, Houston, and UCF to the league starting in 2013. The conference had extended an invitation to Navy late last year however the school didn’t believe that it could work out all of its scheduling issues before the 2013-14 season, like the rest of the schools. With the defections of…

    Ohio State hired Urban Meyer to resurrect its football program. (Kyle Robertson/Columbus Dispatch/MCT) With 26 coaching changes in college football, there will be a lot of new faces and several old ones on the sidelines in 2012-13. Here is a quick breakdown of each with a grade on the hire: Urban Meyer (Ohio State) Grade: A+ Buzz: To steal a metaphor from baseball, this one was a home run for the Buckeyes and it needed to be. Meyer’s presence restores some of the luster that Ohio State lost during the tattoo scandal the cost Jim Tressel his job. A aggressive recruiter, Meyer will restock…

  • BCS National Title 2012 Preview: a Rematch for the Ages, LSU to wash out the Tide

    Film history is littered with bad sequels to fantastic movies – Godfather, Caddyshack and The Matrix come to mind as examples of producers who didn’t know when to stop. You have no doubt seen this analogy heading in to the 2012 BCS Title Game between the LSU Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide but it has two flaws – 1) the original game was not entertaining nor played at a high level, and 2) there is always the chance we will get a “Wrath of Khan” or a “Dark Knight” followup. Defense. Honey Badger. Trent Richardson. The verbal stylings of Les Miles.

    Discover Orange Bowl:  Predicted Finish – Clemson 45 vs. West Virginia 35 Clemson tried to do it. They tried to have another epic meltdown late in the season just like they do every year. In fact, if they would have lost to Wake Forest, like I think they should have (they got lucky with some typically shoddy ACC officiating), they would not have made it to the ACC title game, and thus would not be in a BCS bowl. In fact, we probably would have seen the end of Dabo Swinney. But somehow, after back-to-back losses to close out the regular season, the Tigers managed to come out swinging…

    Allstate Sugar Bowl – predicted finish: Virginia Tech 19 vs. Michigan 24 What type of team is best suited to stop a running QB? I’d say a team that has arguably the best running QB in the entire NCAA; Michigan. Virginia Tech finally figured out that they could use their big 260 lb QB as a rusher by mid-season which got the Hokie’s stagnant offense clicking. But Michigan experienced a resurgence toward national relevance under new HC Brady Hoke, and they will know how to handle a QB with wheels. Tech will look to use their rushing attack and solid defense to control the clock. Look…

    Rose Bowl Preview:  Wisconsin vs Oregon Grasp this.  Oregon and Wisconsin are two of 12 teams since 1996 to score at least 80 touchdowns in a season.  In a season!  Now Oregon has done it twice along with Oklahoma.  Take your seat folks, please fasten your safety belts as this one could be a fast paced game that gives you a thrill ride like you have not seen in years.  The Badgers average 44.6 points per game.  The Ducks average 46.2.  The Badgers give up an average of 17 points per game while the Ducks yield 23.6.  Both teams are loaded and both teams have great offenses.  Both…
