25. Utah Utes You can always expect the Utes to ramp up the running game to run behind a powerful offensive line. The passing will have question marks even with their returning quarterback Troy Williams, who will have to be better in the passing game if he wants to lead the Utes to possible chance at the Pac-12 championship game. ...

When discussing a redemption story, most want to only talk about the beginning and the end. They want to focus on that singular moment that caused “the fall” and jump straight to the completion of the comeback. What North Carolina did can not only be looked at as one of the greatest redemption stories in sports history, but shows just how much... Read More

April 5, 2016 jjrob15 National Championship, NCAA, NCAAB, North Carolina, Villanova0 comment

In what turned out to be an exhilarating title game, Kris Jenkins became a tournament legend by hitting a buzzer beater to give Villanova its 2nd national championship in school history. Just one possession prior, Marcus Paige hit an improbable game-tying 3-pointer that knotted the game at 74. But for a college basketball season characterized by wacky unpredictability, the final sequence was a fitting... Read More

The Minnesota Gophers were coming off a big win, beating the Ohio State Buckeyes by two in overtime. As talented and as dangerous as the Golden Gophers are at home, they’re not quite the same team on the road. Still, many were looking forward to seeing the second leading scorer in the nation and the first in the Big Ten... Read More

Clemson or Alabama, who’s leaving a champion?

January 10, 2016 Jamaal Moore Alabama Crimson Tide, Clemson Tigers, College Playoffs, National Title game, NCAA0 comment

Since the College Football Playoff initial rankings first aired on November third, Clemson and Alabama seemed to be on a collision course to meet for the National Championship. They’ve made it come to fruition through an inspired and unrelenting focus, moved by two different motivations. The Clemson Tigers are good, fast, quick striking and feeling quite disrespected. The underdog card is the... Read More

Wisconsin Basketball Coach Bo Ryan Calls It Quits

December 18, 2015 Owen Riese Bo Ryan, Greg Gard, NCAA, Tony Bennett, Wisconsin0 comment

There’s been a changing of the Gard in Madison. (pun intended) After Wisconsin’s win Tuesday at the Kohl Center, Bo Ryan held his usual press conference. However, very few knew this would be his last. The Badgers had just defeated Texas A&M – Corpus Christi in a typical finals-time game, ugly basketball, but a win nonetheless. Once at the podium,...
