Action Jackson Preview, Week 14
Our Big Game is coming up, but it’s sadly one of the more meaningless ones to watch this week. All times PST. Thursday Rutgers at Louisville, 4:30 PM, ESPN. Brian Brohm’s going to have to earn money the hard way. Saturday MAC Championship: Central Michigan vs. Ohio (Detroit), 8 AM, ESPN2. Where only gamblers care. […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 13 (Cranberry Sauce)
With Cal off and a regular season collapse nearing completion, I won’t pay much attention to general football this week. Okay, that’s a lie. But I’m exhausted from readying the offseason posts, so I’m going to sit on my ass and chow down, just like everyone else. I might check in for a special Thanksgiving […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 13 (BCS Scenarios)
Thanksgiving weekend has always been my favorite week of pure college football, long before I became a Golden Bear fan. The weather still has the last crisps of fall before the cold winter months set in. And the most beautiful part is that only one team (Ohio State) has secured a BCS bid. We have […]
Who Could Our Bowl Opponents Be? (Sun and Elsewhere)
We covered the Emerald possibilities yesterday–onto the other prospects, examining mainly the complexity of the Sun Bowl choice. Most of these possibilities are burning alive with Oregon’s predictable collapse in the desert. Better pencil in San Francisco, but this is just in case. You can vote in the sidebar for the conference you’d like to […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 12
Welcome to the calm before the storm. A relatively light week in college football, which probably means the #1 and #2 teams both go down again (hey look, I’m half-right so far!). December can’t come quickly enough for BCS opportunists. Cal-UW is at 12:30 on ABC, but here’s what else is on tap. Thursday Oregon […]
Who Could Our Bowl Opponents Be (Emerald)?
Well, guess what. After bashing the conference for weeks, it looks like I’ll be watching ACC football these next two weeks. What goes around comes around I guess. Here are the likelihood of bowls, in order: Emerald Bowl (most likely), Sun Bowl (possible), Las Vegas (doubtful), Holiday Bowl (pipe dream). If Ragnarok is correct, by […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 11
This isn’t exactly the highest profile week for college football–the real meat is still a week or two away. College Gameday can’t really find a compelling matchup, so they’re taking a quickie to Williams College and watching them battle Amherst. Lord, even the Division III schools get high end coverage in New England. Sickening. Here […]
The Cougars Growl–A Look Into Washington State
[metacafe 99814] People might recognize my laxness in posting of late. I assure you if Cal takes care of business Saturday night, they will grow more frequent by next week. I’m not neglecting this on purpose, but some detoxing from Cal football is just plain healthy after the worst October in half a decade. As […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 10
Took me awhile to re-construct this chaos. After the most uneventful week of the year with high powered matchups (and no major upsets outside of UConn), we’re back to some good ol’ fashioned scrumfests. Two huge battles for conference supremacy will be the highlights, with the rest slowly falling by the wayside. As a college […]
And It Begins Again (Action Jackson Preview, Week 9)
Other than the obviously important matchup (7 PM PST on FSN, available in HD if you’re not aware), it is looking like the most pivotal week of the year for the big fish left in the pond. Here is the TV Coverage (including coverage maps for the ABC local games) And Announcing Coverage, for those […]
