Last week I said that Colorado’s football program was a “bad situation.” I didn’t know it at the time, but calling their program a “bad situation” may qualify as understatement of the year.
Today Sacramento State defeated the Buffaloes 30-28 in Boulder Colorado. Maybe I should have called it a “catastrophic situation?”

The Purdue football program has had a hard time grabbing the national spotlight over the past few years. In fact, the last time the national media took a real interest in the Boilermakers, Drew Brees was the quarterback.
However, don’t let the lack of coverage fool you into thinking Purdue doesn’t have anything to offer. Some pundits have said that Purdue is set to have a fairly decent season in 2012, and considering the fact that they dispatched Eastern Kentucky by a score of 48-6, they might be right. While a beat-down of EKU might not sound like much of an accomplishment, a quick look at how some other teams fared in their opening games against a “cup cake” opponent and suddenly a 42-point victory sounds pretty good.

During his September 4, 2012, press conference Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban went off on the media (see video above). This is nothing new for Coach Saban and members of the media cannot be shocked.
As for the substance of Saban’s comments, I am not sure he was wrong.

A few weeks ago I wrote that things were starting to get ugly at Maryland. What ugliness was I referring too? One, the new Terrapin football uniforms; and two, the fact that starting QB C.J. Brown would be missing the 2012 season due to injury.
However, what I didn’t know at the time was that Maryland would be turning out some ugly wins as well.

The 2012 season is underway and NOTHING is going right for the Colorado Buffaloes.
After growing tired of being the Big 12’s whipping boy, the Buffaloes packed their bags and moved west to the Pac-12.
The 2011 season was the Buffaloes first in their new conference and they received anything but a warm welcome. Finishing 3-10 overall, and 2-7 in Pac-12 play, the Buffaloes’ 2011 record was worse than their final 2010 Big 12 record (5-7, 2-6).
College GameDay will be at Texas A&M’s first SEC game against the Florida Gators on September 8, 2012!

Apparently we can’t have an opening Saturday of college football without branding almost every game played. Are big-time non-conference match-ups such a thing of the past that they will only happen with corporate sponsorships?
