Taters & Sauce: The complete side dish rivalry
It's perfect, isn't it? Idaho is known for its potato and Utah is known for its fry sauce. It's a match made in fat guy heaven. via images2.wikia.nocookie.net But of course, those two things aren't the only thing the University of Utah and Boise State have in common. Both have had a pretty...
Dodd thinks Whitt not top-ten non-BCS coach of the past decade
Not that I disagree, since Whittingham has only coached four seasons. However, his list seems to include coaches who have A) started their career after Whittingham and B) haven't done anything remotely close to what Whittingham has accomplished at Utah. Let's first look at his rankings: Top...
Ranking potential BCS busters
Summer offers nothing constructive in the way of college football, unfortunately. Which means we're left with really only possibility and that leads to wonkish and boring speculation. But that's what we're here for, right? To speculate on the upcoming season, even though none of us really have an...
Texas-Ohio State lacks a certain non-BCS quality
Tonight's Fiesta Bowl between Texas and Ohio State is expected to be rather boring and one-sided. Thank goodness How I Met Your Mother is on. Perhaps the Fiesta Bowl would be more exciting if there wasn't a potential national champion Texas squad intent on crushing anything and everything in its...
Let's go fill-in-the-blank! OBNUG's cheering guide
Which teams should Bronco Nation be rooting for this weekend? Beats us. We can't figure it out. There are way too many of them. Help us, Stephen Grettenberg. You're our only hope. On the surface, as Boise State prepares to demolish Idaho, there are not as many exciting weekend games, since the...

Well today, College Football News asked...

You're a successful assistant coach at a solid BCS program, however, your resume isn't nearly good enough to get a dream job.
