    Chris Williams on VSiN with Tim Murray

    On Monday, our own Chris Williams hosted VSiN College Football Betting Podcast’s Tim Murray and then was a guest on Murray’s podcast. I think many of us may undervalue the quality of Chris’s contributions. We may be too familiar with him and he is often so casual and goofy. However, he really...

    Ames Pet Shelter

    A few weeks ago, Grant Mahoney gave the last five minutes of the "Kickin' It" podcast to talk about pets, including the new and improved Ames Pet Shelter. He is a great advocate for humane treatment of animals. However, he didn't emphasize that there is still a need for donations to finish...

    I just took a work assignment in Springfield, MO during the week preceding the Iowa State football game with Arkansas State in Jonesboro, AR. So, that means that I can drive and haul some tailgate gear. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone else who might be interested in joining me...

    Niang being Niang

    I turned on the Atlanta/Miami NBA game expecting to see Niang take some spot up threes. And just as I started missing his incredible ability to handle the ball and find the basket, he made a few vintage Niang moves and shots. Now I have to watch the rest of the game.

    Tirana Albania

    I’m in Tirana, Albania for a conference and a bunch of wrestlers from Azerbaijan have just checked in to our hotel. Is this a big deal? I’m not very familiar with international wrestling.

    Incompletion at end of Virginia Tech/Miami game

    Calling you CFB rules experts. I watched the end of the Virginia Tech/Miami game and still don't know why they ruled it an incompletion. Did he not have control of the ball? Did he touch out-of-bounds? Was he out-of-bounds because he was touching someone else who was out-of-bounds? Was...

    Kicking’ It: Campbell mad at Flora?

    Just heard Grant and Jeff suggest that Campbell might be mad with Aiden Flora. Why? IMHO, if Campbell didn’t want to run up the score, he shouldn’t call a play that is designed for advancing the ball. Further, if he expected a walk on to fall down and not try to score a touchdown, that’s abusive!
