Overview For the first time in quite awhile, there may be more than one independent team that could have a good season. Navy could be even better than the team that beat up Missouri in the Texas Bowl last season, and Notre Dame may finally be recovering from what was a rollercoaster ride to...

Overview Unless you’re an alumnus or alumna of one of the schools in this conference, then you probably don’t care much about it.

Tiger Woods is struggling, Johnny Cueto is kicking, and Darrelle Revis is still holding out. With all that is going on in the sport-o-sphere, I’m kind of sad that I’m not covering any of it. However, I’m excited to be close enough to the start of college football to be giving my predictions, and...
