Corn Flakes: Olympic Photo Finish and Big Red Preview Sells 3500 Tickets
| Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images What have been your favorite events to watch at the Olympics? The Olympics have not disappointed!

As a kid, I was glued to the equestrian events and my poor horse was expected to up her game for a couple of weeks. Events that I... |
Friday Flakes: Who is Going to Kick Field Goals for the Huskers this Fall?
| Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images A couple days ago we learned that last year’s field goal kicker, Tristan Alvano, has undergone surgery on his groin and is actually not on the 120 man roster going into fall camp. Last year Alvano went 9/15 on field goals and made all of his extra point attempts. He also made a 55 yarder against Purdue. It sounds like he should be back sooner than later and Special Team’s coach Ed Foley said that he’s already kicking but just... |

Greg Schiano was a winner his first time at Rutgers, and they’ve shown improvement over the “Buttgers” days that culminated in a 21 conference game losing streak from 2017 through 2019.

Purdue Boilermakers 2024 Football Preview
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images A rough schedule and key holes in the lineup help explain why Purdue is picked to finish last in the Big Ten in 2024. Two years ago, Purdue won the Big Ten’s west division and played in a New Years’ Day bowl game. But then Jeff Brohm fled the Big Ten to return home to Louisville and the ACC, with former Illinois’ defensive coordinator Ryan Walters taking over in 2023.

The Fraudulent History of Amateurism And College Football
| If you believe college football is being ruined because amateurism is dead, you need to watch this. I continue to make videos about college football history. Deep history.
