    QVC unexpectedly enters sports industry in the least unexpected way

    In a frustrating world where the broadcasting rights for every sport are seemingly reshuffled every week and media deals govern schools, you may expect some team to one day suddenly depart their current network and jettison themselves to some random channel you’ve never heard of. But, the thing is, you usually dismiss that as a…

    ESPN’s analytics predicting Indiana to win over Michigan

    The Indiana Hoosiers are having a remarkable season so far, currently sitting at the top of the Big Ten with a 5-0 (2-0 in conference) record. Depending on what happens in Nebraska in a few weeks, Indiana could easily go for a record-breaking 10-2 season. But what if they went 11-1? The idea of an…

    Editorial: Coyotes win as entire Portland State team falls to whooping cough

    On Saturday, South Dakota and Portland State decided to cancel their football game due to an outbreak of pertussis (commonly known as whooping cough) among the PSU team. Noticed how I said cancelled. That’s right. Apparently, this was a mutual decision. Before I give my take on the matter, here’s a bit of background. They…

    Horse Guillotine: Stephen F. Austin State drops 70 points in 1st half against NAIA team

    Axe ’em, Jacks! Week 1 of college football kicked off Thursday, as many teams played teams in lower divisions as them as a warm-up for what’s ahead.

  • Opinion: The Panthers suck so much that I replaced them with the Birmingham Stallions in Retro Bowl

    Opinion: The Panthers suck so much that I replaced them with the Birmingham Stallions in Retro Bowl

    2-15. Not many can claim a record as truly pitiful as the 2023 Carolina Panthers. Only 16 teams have done worse than this, including my own St. Louis Rams (obligatory Fuck Kroenke), and coincidentally, the ’01 Panthers. And the last few seasons haven’t been much better. 7-10, 5-12, 5-11, 5-11 again, 7-9 – the Panthers’…

    Editorial: Mizzou could easily go 12-0 in the regular season

    (Note: This article is almost entirely opinion-based, and at times, makes zero sense. KU fans, turn back now.) I have a poster hung up above the gray recliner in my bedroom. Adorning said poster are the logos of twelve college football teams – Murray State, Buffalo, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Massachusetts, Auburn, Alabama, Oklahoma,…

    Sweeping changes across the college football world as Texas, Oklahoma, and more change conferences

    July 1st. Realignment day. A time of great change and opportunity (unless you’re Oregon State or Wazzu). This is a significant moment in college football, as it marks the burning of bridges, the ascension of new schools, and the (unofficial) destruction of a power conference. As of today, Oklahoma and Texas have left their longtime…
