“He was angry. He was mad.” How James Franklin got on Marcus Freeman’s bad side and how Notre Dame’s head coach turned that into fuel. Just so happens, the Irish needed every last drop to make their first national title game in a dozen years. nytimes.com/athletic/60516…

Very sad to hear. Lou was an incredible, helpful resource for Penn State football history. Enjoyed our chats about the glory days of 1920s CFB

I spent a lot of time and crunched a lot of different numbers to try to answer this very important question: What's the worst program that peak Nick Saban could have led to a national title? Michigan State? Louisville? Oregon State? Kansas? nytimes.com/athletic/64511…

Everything that happened last year — the flag-planting, the fight, Ohio State’s national championship — reinforced Michigan-OSU as cfb’s top rivalry. No matter how much the sport changes, The Game keeps its edge. “It is a true, natural hatred.” nytimes.com/athletic/64668…

Working with Scott on this was the perfect type of college football nostalgia rabbit hole I love Rivalries are the backbone of college football (along with quibbling with things like rivalry rankings). Amid all the change, they’re always there (for the most part).

As college sports continue to look and act more like the pros, here's a question: How much would Ohio State football sell for? What about Texas? Texas Tech? We used real pro franchise transactions as a guideline for every P4 CFB team. What we came up with: nytimes.com/athletic/65005…

Is James Franklin overrated or underappreciated? I dove into that question. Not sure I found an answer but one thing is for sure: We're primed to be talking a lot about the Penn State coach this season. nytimes.com/athletic/65557…
