I didn’t get my act together in time to launch this for Week 1, but no matter… it’s time for the 2nd annual Living Room Times College Football Pick ‘em Contest! We’ll start with Week 2, so for those of you would totally would have picked Jacksonville State over Ole Miss and North Dakota State over Kansas… sorry! Anyway, to… Read more »
If Boise State stays undefeated, I’ll undoubtedly be doing a lot of blog posts as the season progresses about the teams with a chance of eventually leapfrogging the Broncos (i.e., pretty much any unbeaten from a big-five conference), the potential one-loss teams who pose the biggest threat (the most obvious scenario is Florida losing at Alabama, then winning out, beating… Read more »
You thought the conference shuffle was done after BYU declared independence? Not so fast, my friend! One week after the season started, there is word of yet another shift. Are you ready for this? Cal-Poly and UC-Davis have announced they are moving their football programs from the Great West to the Big Sky conference.
Ole Miss really should have gone with Admiral Ackbar as its new mascot. He could have warned them that paying Jacksonville State $300,000 for a guarantee game in Oxford was… A TRAP!!!!!
My Twitter sidebar is once again not importing tweets properly because of FriendFeed issues, so my tweets during the Boise-VaTech game may not appear on the blog. You can read them at http://www.twitter.com/brendanloy, of course. Anyway, if anyone wants to comment on the game, you can do so here. GO BRONCOS!!! UPDATE: Tweets seem to be importing again, but who… Read more »
In the spirit of my post last year on opening day, I’ve tweeted some #fearlesspredictions for the college football season ahead. For now, you can view them in the sidebar at right. For posterity, I’ll also copy & paste them after the jump. P.S. But first, courtesy of @jadaily, a song for the occasion: It’s the most wonderful time of… Read more »
Desert News blogger Jared Eborn says that a source has informed him that talks between BYU and the WAC continue and that ESPN is still involved. BYU is apparently still commited to independence (which would jive with why they haven’t declared that they are staying in the Mountain West yet) and that the WAC is still a viable landing spot… Read more »
Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News added a late night update to his blog with some new info on the MWC/WAC conference shakeup and BYU’s next moves. First, there is the news that BYU has reached out to the West Coast Conference. The WCC doesn’t have football, so this would be the destination for BYU’s other sports if… Read more »
If you’ve been following the Mountain West-WAC drama of recent days, you really need to check out the Mountain West’s Facebook feed. (What’s below is just a small sample.) Funny stuff.
It’s been a crazy day for conference realignment, and I mean really, really crazy — we’ve been through basically the entire cycle of the Pac-16 / Big 12 drama, except with the mid-majors, and in the course of like 12 hours instead of a week-plus. Absolutely insane. I don’t know how it will all shake out, but I just want… Read more »
