Is there any team in America that took a bigger nosedive than USC? From pre-season Number 1 to a 7-6 finish after getting bounced by Georgia Tech, 21-7, in the Hyundai Sun Bowl, the Trojans looked like they were sleepwalking. It sure didn't help that the team didn't seem very happy to be in El Paso. Either way, head coach Lane Kiffin had this message for the city of El Paso and USC fans.

A cold wind blows across a porch in Couer d'Alene, ID. The tall pines in the snowy mountains above stand vigil in dress whites sharp enough to put a Navy man to shame. But there is no light inside the house, no fire in its hearth. It sits empty, its owner still enamored of a warm desert breeze near another international border, still friends with the man who would fire him, still positive about th

Mostly, it was just cold for Mike Price and the UTEP Miners. Cold north wind, cold-blooded opponent, cold shoulder from the fans. Listed attendance at the Sun Bowl for UTEP's 31-24 loss to Central Florida was 25,483. Apparently, ticket-takers were counting shoes...

Coaches moving from the college ranks to the NFL tend not to work out. For every Jimmy Johnson success story, there are the disappointments of Barry Switzer (Johnson's successor in Dallas), Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz and Nick Saban—all extremely successful NCAA coaches who, for whatever reason, couldn't find the same level of achievement in the pros. This weekend's end-of-game incident between vete

Bomb threats have been made against the University of Texas and North Dakota State University, leading to both campuses' immediate evacuation of students and personnel. According to University of Texas spokesperson Rhonda Weldon, the school received a call shortly before 9 a...

It WILL be a big game. The Sun Bowl WILL have a better atmosphere for fun and tailgating. The Miners ARE healthy. But as the Miners kick off against the Sooners this Saturday night in the Sun Bowl,  there was one word you didn't hear from UTEP head coach Mike Price -- "win".

Andy Lyons, Getty Images College football is finally (almost) back! This is that magical time of year when every college football fan dreams of crisp fall days and really believes that his team will be “better than expected” this year. At least u ...
