I knew Mel Tucker spent the past year as Colorado’s football coach. I knew he coached with Nick Saban at Alabama. What I didn’t know until Michigan State hired him in Wednesday’s surprise announcement was the Saban coaching tree with a Mel Tucker branch sprouted from Michigan State.

“Thanks for everything you’ve done.” That’s what I told Mark Dantonio in the summer of 2015 when I brought him a copy of “Raye of Light” at the Duffy Daugherty Building. We chatted briefly, and I introduced my daughter. How shortsighted was I not getting a snapshot that afternoon? Thank you is all that needs …

Recently we wrote about what we did like about the 2020 ACC Football schedule. Now we look at what don’t like. Georgia Tech’s over-scheduling Georgia and Notre Dame were always going to be on Georgia Tech’s schedule, but what’s the point of having UCF there too?

John Lynch is a double-header guy, but his circumstances surrounding the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV are beyond fitting for the former football/baseball professional athlete and Stanford letterman in both sports.

Just a quick post for tonight… The 2019 College Football season ended with LSU on top and Clemson #2.

As we do with each ACC Bowl Team, we take a look back at a team’s game and look ahead. Clemson in the national title game was the last ACC school to finish their football season. It didn’t go well. LSU took care of Clemson 42-25. Clemson was a great team. LSU was a better …

Michigan State and Duke – respectively the preseason Nos. 1 and 4-ranked teams — again appear Final Four worthy. Their lineup rotations that endured early season hiccups are coming into sharper focus with conference play fully underway.
