Today, I caught the tail end of Jack and Jackie Harbaugh (father and mother of the Harbowl brothers) doing a press conference to a room packed with ravenous reporters. Apologies to my Ranters for not catching the whole thing. (Hoping to go to Beyonce’s tomorrow so stay tuned folks). Much thanks to Gatorade for getting [...]
The Tampa Bay Lightning set out on a mission to upgrade their defense this past offseason. They did just that, adding two veteran defensemen in Sami Salo and Matt Carle, who haven’t disappointed. Obviously joining a new team is never easy but both players, especially Salo, have handled the transition quite well. A former Vancouver [...]
The Seattle Mariners have been adding bats this offseason like they were going out of style. While many perceived that to mean that the team was happy with the projected rotation heading into 2013, it may have just meant the team was biding their time and looking for the right deal. With pitchers and catchers [...]
If ever the Indiana Pacers needed to win an NBA home game, it was Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons who had a reason to be distracted. Indiana had lost three straight on the road and returned home to face a Pistons team that found out Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye would not be in the [...]
The Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines tragicomedy as “a drama or a situation blending tragic and comic elements.” In my opinion, nothing could better describe the Manti Te’o hoax and the national freaking out that has gone along with it. This is both a comedy and a tragedy, and sadly it’s only been treated as a [...]
Rough times have hit Champaign once again as the Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped four out of their last five games heading into a major opportunity against the 13th ranked Michigan State Spartans. Meanwhile, Sparty is hitting their usual mid season stride as their highly touted big men Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne finally seem like they [...]
According to USA Today, students from Sandy Hook Elementary School will be singing America the Beautiful during the Super Bowl XLVII pregame show. Alicia Keys is set to sing the National Anthem following the students. The NFL is flying 26 students and their families down to New Orleans this week in order to prepare [...]
The week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII has been quite exciting for members of the Baltimore Ravens considering all of the questions surrounding Ray Lewis being linked to PED. However, the argument can be made that Joe Flacco has found himself in a more difficult situation after making inappropriate comments about his feelings towards [...]
Last week, Philadelphia Union midfielder Brian Carroll was named the captain for the 2013 season. Last season, he was the captain for a few games while Carlos Valdes was playing for the Colombian National Team. Carroll is the right choice for captaincy. He is a great leader on and off the field and has the [...]
Now that the Oregon Ducks season has come to an end after their big win over the Kansas State Wildcats in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, all of the attention will be focused on whether or not Chip Kelly will bolt for the NFL. The Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills have each expressed interest [...]
Now that the Oregon Ducks have defeated the Kansas State Wildcats in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Oregon head coach Chip Kelly will be one of the most pursued head coaches to make the transition to the NFL for the 2013 season, as the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills have already expressed interest. If he [...]
After finishing with just one loss during the regular season, the Florida Gators seemed like a team capable of competing for the National Championship at one point–especially with a steller defense. With a matchup against the Louisville Cardinals in this year’s Sugar Bowl, the Gators seemed like they would have no trouble on Wednesday considering [...]
There was plenty of criticism surrounding this year’s selection of the Orange Bowl involving the Florida State Seminoles and the Northern Illinois Huskies–mainly because most college football fans believed the Huskies didn’t deserve a BCS bid compared to other teams like the LSU Tigers or Georgia Bulldogs. While the potential was certainly there for Northern [...]
After he was fired by the Arkansas Razorbacks last April following the controversy surrounding him dating an employee in the athletic department, Bobby Petrino is back in the college football world–just don’t expect him to be competing for a National Championship anytime soon. Petrino agreed to a four-year deal to coach the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers [...]
After all of the anticipation, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner will be announced as the three finalists come down to Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel, Notre Dame Fighting Irish linebacker Manti Te’o, and Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein. With all due respect to Klein, it’s safe to say that the award will most [...]
It’s been an interesting week for Tyrann Mathieu as the former LSU Tigers star will apparently enter the NFL Draft in April–which brings up the interesting topic about whether or not he’s ready to handle the big leagues. In my mind, the Honey Badger doesn’t seem ready to be able to handle life at the [...]
Here’s a look at the top five players for 2012 Heisman Candidates Week 14: 5. Ohio State Buckeyes QB Braxton Miller It’s been quite the year for the Buckeyes in their first season under Urban Meyer as Miller topped off the undefeated season with a big win over the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. Miller completed [...]
It could be an interesting next couple of days for the LSU Tigers after rumors emerged about the Arkansas Razorbacks making a five-year, $27.5 million offer to head coach Les Miles. With the team announcing their plans to not have John L. Smith as head coach after this season, did they really think they would [...]
There have been plenty of exciting story lines throughout the 2012 season in college football as the race to be named the Heisman Trophy winner seems to take a different turn each week. At this point, it’s clear the award will most likely go to either Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel or Notre Dame Fighting Irish [...]
