COVID-19 has affected a lot of things so far, and I constantly worry that college football will be affected come the fall. What if there’s no college football?

It’s hard for me to believe that the semester is already coming to a close, and it’s even harder for me to believe that the turn of the decade is suddenly upon us. It’s customary for us to reminisce at significant milestones like the one rapidly approaching, observing who we were 10 years ago, and

Believe it or not, college football bowl season is merely 10 days away. There’s nothing quite like spending your Christmas break kicking back, drinking some eggnog and watching college-age dudes trying to salvage some extra meaning to all the work they’ve put in throughout the entire year. With 40 extra games of college football to

Leather couches in front of huge television screens? Check. A barber shop in the players lounge? Check. Don’t forget the mini golf course. Athletic constructions across the country have set the new standards of what it takes to own a competitive, top-tier college football program. Just take a look at our own school, which is
