In the past five years, only one program among all the 119 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision has produced two undefeated seasons: Utah. And yet in the past half-decade, the Utes have not signed a single player from the annual Rivals.com 100 list.
He would be 32 years old.
There’s still time.
Back in the mid-1990s Gary Barnett led Northwestern to its first Rose Bowl appearance since, well, Chicago was considered northwestern. At the time, Barnett was relatively young and unquestionably dynamic, and so he became a coveted attraction on the banquet circuit.
If this game takes its name from the Spanish word for “celebration”, how come everyone at the Fiesta Bowl looks so glum? Why did Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, when requested to bring 30 players to media day on Friday, opt not to include his starting quarterback among the two-and-a-half dozen Buckeyes? And why do we get the feeling that if Texas players were to send “Wish U Were Here” postcards to their Oklahoma counterparts, the sentiment would not be congenial?
USC coach Pete Carroll has a keen sense of humor, so here is an idea for him: On the morning of the Rose Bowl, have the staff at the Trojans’ team hotel deliver a wake-up call to his players in the form of Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You, Babe.”
David Tyree's helmet-assisted catch. Tiger Woods' victory at the U.S. Open (on one good leg) and Rafael Nadal's epic Wimbledon final win against Roger Federer. Usain Bolt's three world records, and Michael Phelps' eight gold medals.

We cannot do much to accommodate that third quality at the moment, but we will proceed with a ranking of all 34 bowl games. And beware of women in Iowa jerseys who wander into the men's room.
At last year’s Holiday Bowl, Bevo was rendered grounded beef.
The message struck me like a slap in the face.
The Longhorns drew the short straw. The Sooners staked their claim.
To anyone who ever subscribed to the adage, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”, welcome to the Big 12 South. This is the division where last impressions may come first, where the first to lose may be the last to be in first.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Two questions for you to begin: 1) How many of the 119 teams that play in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) have more pure talent than Notre Dame? and 2) How many of those 119 teams play a better brand of football than Notre Dame?
