Every time I think that college football season is over, I find myself getting sucked back in by some major breaking news.At first, it was the news that Pete Carroll was leaving USC (some would say ahead of the NCAA posse) to take the job as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.Okay, fine. It would... Continue Reading →
A Painful Way To End
My heart ached for Texas last night.Not necessarily because I wanted them to win (I did, though. I had them and the over last night in my picks pool), or because I think Nick Saban is a bit of an insufferable human being (I do), but because of the pain that their two quarterbacks went...

BCS Doomsday scenario
So last night's Fiesta Bowl was a solid defensive struggle, and Boise State came out victorious over TCU 17-10.For some folks, the game was an absolute snoozer, although if Texas and Alabama play the exact same game, it is hailed as a great defensive struggle for the ages.I still believe that neither school was really...

New Year’s Resolution and a (slightly) new direction
A new year has dawned.A new decade has arrived.And it's time for a new direction here at Pigskin Punditry.Ostensibly, I started this blog with the best of intentions and the hope that it would be a place where I would rant and rave about college football; the good, the bad and the in between.Well, previously,...

Terrelle Pryor Said What?
So I am sitting in the ESPN Zone in Anaheim last weekend having breakfast and watching the Ohio State/Navy game. I looked up at the screen when Ohio State took the field and blanched a little when I looked at Terrelle Pryor’s eye black strips. Does that strip under his left eye say “Vick?” What?...

One Final Thought On LeGarrette Blount
I've been travelling all day, so I haven't had a chance to comment yet on the news of Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount's season long suspension.The suspension effectively ends his career, as he was a senior.It's an ignomious conclusion to his career. The stat line is absolutely horrific.Eight carries for negative five yards.And one sucker... Continue Reading →
How Do You Solve A Problem Like LeGarrette Blount?
It was a decent game on the Smurf Turf in Boise State, although it was quite a sloppy victory for the Broncos.But the real action took place after the game, as Oregon Ducks star running back LeGarrette Blount punched Boise State defender Byron Hout.Now, Hout did push Blount in the shoulder and shouted something in...

2009 Preseason Picks
As loyal readers should now by now, the Pigskin Pundit is not a big fan of preseason polls or rankings.I am a fan of making predictions, however.Except when I forget to include them in my opening column. Fortunately, that's why I also have the blog.(Although now that the blog feeds into Bleacher Report, I think... Continue Reading →
Mizzou Cuts Ties With Promising Frosh QB
Having spent a good deal of time drinking in Columbia, MO (much of it underage), I consider myself fortunate to have had the common sense to not get caught.Then again, I wasn't a freshman vying for the backup QB spot.After Blaine Dalton's second arrest on Friday morning, head coach Gary Pinkel swiftly dropped the hammer,...

Michigan Revelations Speak To Larger Issue
ESPN's Adam Rittenberg has a good point with this blog post regarding the allegations coming out of the University of Michigan football program.Part of the issue regarding the remuneration of college football players centers around the fact that being a football player is a full time job.Yes, the NCAA mandates that players can only spend...
