We Are Witnessing History
What is a "Great Coaching Rivalry", in your opinion? Is it a rivalry between great coaches, like the one between Darrell Royal and Frank Broyles? Or is it a great rivalry with close, exciting games, such as between Joe Paterno and John Cooper? I was pondering this, because this is the 12th year...
Penn State Was Right to Fire Joe Paterno
The wins will survive, obviously. Six undefeated seasons, two national championships, three Big Ten titles, etc. His philanthropy will survive. They're not going to take his name off the library.

Todd Grantham, Chas Henry, and the Controversy at the End of the Georgia-Florida Game
All right, I still just wanted to lie around, feel sick, and mope for a few more days, but, like Al Pacino in "The Godfather, Part III," I’ve been pulled back in by circumstances. I am speaking, of course, of Todd Grantham’s "choke" gesture, which some quarters of the blogosphere deem to be the...
