9:06 Ladies and Gentlemen we are off and running this morning. Becks is decked out head to toe in Crimson Cream and already getting fired up. I must say he seems a little bit subdued compared to years past. I think its the hard partying from last night but I have a feeling it will get rowdy upon the first sighting of Colt Mcoy. Sitting in on the action today is Doug Becker, Justin’s dad, and me. Should be fun. …
Do you believe in miracles??? Ok so maybe it wasn’t the 1980 Olympic hockey miracle, but bang The Snooze anyway!!!!!! …
In EmptyBackfield’s on going attempt to preview the 2009 season, today we are going to learn about the new Head Ball Coach’s(HBC) at some of the major programs in College Football. It seems every season almost some part of every program’s fan base is screaming for a coaching change. “Their” coach has no idea what he is doing, can’t call plays and never blitzes at the right time. However, what most people fail to realize it is not a walk in the park to fire the old head coach(which these days brings a 7 figure buyout) and bring in that “new snazzy offensive coordinator” who has ZERO head coaching experience.

Is the rivalry competitive - If it is less of a rivalry and more like John Matrix blowing heads off in Commando then its not a real rivalry. Take for example USC and Notre Dame. These two teams play every year but it has become such a lopsided rivalry we could care less. (okay, we always like seeing ND get worked but you know what i mean.) …
College Football fans look forward to several days throughout the year. The first game day, the big game vs. a rival, National Letter of Intent Day, Spring Game and the day the Phil Steele preview hits the shelves. ”The Bible” as some have dubbed it is out in Northeast Ohio and I have a copy sitting next to me as I speak. Want to know what Phil has to say about the upcoming 2009 season??? …

Texas HBC Mack Brown shows his true colors while visiting the troops overseas. What is it with these Big 12 coaches and their allegiances???
I am a college football nut. A Bucknut to be exact. I worship my Buckeyes, no matter how overrated or slow they are. But if we can all agree the Big 10 has not been up to par the last few years, can we also all agree on the other truth in the room no one seems to be mentioning…wait for it… …
Recession? Struggling Economy? Those words mean little to the Big 12 conference who will distribute a record $130 million between its universities. …
