53 Veer Pass
"53 Veer Pass" It was a simple instruction from a coach on the sidelines to his Quarterback. The circumstances swirling around them were anything but. While Darrell Royal had the appearance of outward calm amid the chaos that was unraveling 41 years ago to the day in Fayetteville, Arkansas the...
Don't Bet On It!: Week 14 College Football Forecasts for the National Games of Interest and Around the SEC
A pitiful 4-3 mark in last week’s SEC predictions dropped me to 52-13 for the season in conference forecasts, while a middling 3-2 ledger in last week’s national games of interest doomed me to limp into the final weekend of the regular season sporting a 36-22 record in non-SEC prognostications....

Review: The Game of the Century - Michael Corcoran
