Ten Dollars To Burn: The Most And Least Accurate College Football Preseason Magazines
OMG FOOTBALL SOON (seriously -- Big Ten Media Days are in the last week of July and fall practice is scheduled to start in the first week of August). Until then, we're still in prime preseason magazine territory on the 2011 calendar. Most of the mags are your standard, boilerplate issue with...
Steele, Perkins, WVU, Hawaii, and the Rest of the News
As of Monday morning we have a mere 89 days until the Irish kickoff the 2011 season against South Florida. The players are back on campus for the summer sessions and while we wait for some news about workouts and how rookies are adjusting to life in South Bend, here's some other stories to chew...
Who Said That BC Athlon Quote? and the Big Finish
Brian: One of the fun things to do after purchasing Athlon Sports’ College Football 2010 National Preview is to thumb through the team previews and check out the featured quote for various programs. For a team like the Eagles, the quote the editors select is almost always either something...

Rock M Roundtable!
It's the Buffalo Week edition!!!1 - Obviously we're not going to go into a huge discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the Buffalo Bulls. Methinks that would be rather pointless. So I'll ask this instead: should Nebraska have hired Bo Pelini or current UB coach (and former NU great)...
Athlon Sports Pre-Season - Nebraska #18
Athlon Sports is releasing their Pre-Season Top 25 on a daily basis.Nebraska comes in at #18, which is probably about where I'd put them if I had to rank them. They do predict that we'll be back in the Big 12 Championship game, which is also what I'd expect for next season. Given receiver Maurice...
