What to watch this weekend (Oct. 24-25)

October 23rd, 2009 by Chris Humpherys

This Saturday’s college slate gives us a quick breather from the top-ranked, head-to-head matchups we’ve seen so much of lately.

September 7th, 2009 by Chris Humpherys

We have all been there.

If you’re a college football fan and you bleed your school colors, then you’ve experienced it. You’ve painted your face. You’ve worn your lucky shirt, shorts and undergarments on game day.
