Lane Kiffin abandons Ole Miss and his playoff team

      December 1, 2025 /

      Rece Davis sums it up pretty well here. Lane Kiffin abandoned Ole Miss and his playoff team. Sure, the calendar and rules are screwed up in college football, and anyone who is coaching a playoff team would have to abandon them if they want a “better” job. But that’s still a choice, and that’s exactly what Kiffin is doing here.

      Along the way he also decided to basically gaslight Ole Miss and their fans. This notion that he could stay there and coach the team while also preparing to build a roster for their rival in the SEC is just absurd. And then he tried to lay blame on them for not letting him coach the team.

      Finally, Kiffin kept referencing prayer and “God” as he made this decision. There are few things more ridiculous than using your perception of God as a justification for a selfish act. It’s pathetic.

      Kiffin is a good coach, and LSU will be fun with him there. Let’s see if he’s good enough to actually win a National Championship, or if he’ll crash and burn there as well. Most people will be rooting against this cocky, self-absorbed hypocrite. But that’s sports.

      Ohio State handles Michigan to finish undefeated regular season

      November 29, 2025 /

      Ryan Day took quite a beating last year in the media and with certain fans after laying an egg against Michigan. Of course, he shut up many of his critics as the Buckeyes played angry and went on an epic run in the College Football Playoff to win Day’s first National Championship.

      Still, four straight losses against Michigan hung over Day’s head. This year, Day and the Buckeyes entered the game as the better team, just like last year. But it was clear from the beginning that Day wasn’t going to play conservatively. Julian Sayin came out throwing, but he tossed an interception on his second pass of the game.

      But the Buckeyes didn’t buckle under the pressure after falling behind 6-0. Sayin threw a touchdown to Jeremiah Smith and then later threw a TD bomb to Carnell Tate. The running game was also working with Bo Jackson and the other Ohio State backs. Ohio State outgained Michigan 419-163 as they controlled the game in a 27-9 victory.

      Meanwhile, Bryce Underwood, Michigan’s $10 million freshman QB, finished the game going 8-18 with just 63 passing yards!

      In the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes went to the ground game as their offensive lines just dominated the Michigan defense.

      After the game, the Ohio State players celebrated of course, but they didn’t bother planting a flag. They know they expect to win this game, and Day was clear he wanted them to win with humility.

      Todd McShay discusses Mel Kiper

      November 15, 2025 /

      Here’s a fantastic clip from Todd McShay’s new podcast and YouTube channel where Todd McShay discusses Mel Kiper. McShay is very fond of Kiper, and the two of them established a very close bond over the years. They also drove each other a little crazy, and that led to some great televsion at times.

      McShay explains the craziness and quirkiness of Kiper’s personality, and how Todd leaned into it both on air and off. He also explained how McShay is a great person and incredibly kind to everyone. It’s quite a tribute.

      And finally he explains why Kiper has not been on the new podcast, and he explained that ESPN basically won’t allow it. He even got into how Kiper is now paired with Field Yates, and how Yates has been thrown into the draft prep world from the fantasy football world. Yates is good, but they can’t recreate what they had with Todd and Mel. McShay isn’t afraid here to say what he thinks.

      Dodgers wins epic Game 7 in Toronto

      November 2, 2025 /

      What a wild game!

      In a Game 7 for the ages, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Toronto, securing their ninth championship and becoming the first team to repeat since the 2000 Yankees.

      Trailing 4-3 entering the ninth, the Dodgers mounted a stunning comeback, tying the game on Miguel Rojas’s improbable solo home run off closer Jeff Hoffman with two outs—a blast that barely cleared the wall and forced extras. The Jays, who had dominated much of the series with strong pitching from veterans like 41-year-old Max Scherzer (clutch in relief) and rookie phenom Cade Yesavage, couldn’t close the door despite leading for most of the night.

      The Blue Jays had so many chances to win this game, but it slipped through their hands.

      This seven-game epic, featuring an 18-inning Game 3 marathon, cemented the 2025 World Series as an instant classic.

      Miami trips up against SMU

      November 2, 2025 /

      So Josh Pate will get roasted for this. Several weeks ago on hos podcast, he chirped about how Miami was “different” this year, even looking more impressive than Ohio State.

      Well with Miami losing to SMU for their second loss of the season, Pate looks foolish as the Canes are now on the bubble for even making the playoff.

      Miami hadn’t played a game outside the state of Florida, and they wilted with this road test at SMU. Many like Kirk Herbstreit called this game out as an upset special, and Miami obliged.

      Miami has looked very impressive at times this season, but we’ve seen Mario Cristobal teams wilt before, and Mario if often part of the problem. Talent only gets you so far. Also, Carson Beck started throwing interceptions, and that hurt them again today.
