When I was twelve I was introduced to a sport I barely knew by my Dad. I was introduced to College Football by my Dad. Ever since then it has stuck with me and it is my most favorite thing. My Dad’s favorite teams are the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan, because he attended both schools. Ever since he left college it was his favorite thing to watch and follow.
It all started watching games on Saturday with my Dad. Primetime College Football games are usually the most thrilling. All the game day hype shifts to primetime every Saturday evening. In the fall of 2012 we had the opportunity to go to Metlife Stadium in New York to see USC take on Syracuse. That game was the first College game I had been to live. The
The Temple Owls had a magical and fun 2015 season that saw them win 10 games, win the AAC East division and go to the Boca Raton Bowl.
This was Tim Tebow’s second favorite game of the year, the Florida/Georgia game. The Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs were both ranked in the top 10, both looking for the tough win. In that game, the gators played more focus and more passion than ever because they wanted this game for Gator Nation. The winner would have a clear path to clinch the SEC Eastern Division and a possible shot at playing the National Championship. After the Bulldogs missed two field goals and failed to recover the onside kick after their first score, the Gators took a 14-3 halftime lead. In the second half, the Bulldogs turned the ball over four times and as a result the Gators took the advantage and turned the game into a 49 to 10 rout. Most of the Georgia
While in 8th grade, my oldest brother would be going to highschool next year. Deciding where to go to High School took a long time for him. He finally decided to go to Rockhurst after a long debate between Miege. Then, 3 years later in 6th grade, my While in 6th grade and my other older brother in 8th grade, he would be going to highschool next year. As well, he decided to go to Rockhurst. At that point, it hit me. I knew that I wanted to go to Rockhurst after seeing both of my brothers get accepted and attend there. During the spring of my 7th grade year, I went to see my oldest brother graduate from Rockhurst. I listened to the commencement speech that one of the seniors had made up, and I knew that at this point I wanted to graduate from Rockhurst like my brother. Hearing all the different
The article “Football Major, Basketball Minor?” by Ben Strauss (2015) asserts that whether athletes in college engaged and focused on general classes more or typically focused only on practicing sports. Ben mentioned that many athletes are spending more time on the practicing sports, and there are vast majorities of athletes in college are majoring in sports instead of learning general knowledges. However, he introduces two arguments from two professors separately, David Pargman and William D. Coplin. They all provided a beneficial ideas for the situation that commonly existed in college. Athletes majoring in sports may learn the knowledge which is about professional sports training skills and they can easily use these skills for future games
The game was on the line, the only problem, I was on the wrong side of the line. November 1, 2015 my football season with my team, the Eureka Jr. Wildcats, had ended the night before in a decisive 52-8 victory in our league championship game, Capping off an undefeated season. Although the outcome of the season had be extremely fun and satisfying my mind was already thinking what next. I soon figured out next was, St. Louis Football University. St. Louis Football University, or STL FBU, is apart a national grid of 50 teams from across the country who compete in annual tournaments to crown a city as champions.
I wrote a couple weeks ago the five pivotal games for Florida which you can read here, (Florida Football: 5 Pivotal games for Gators in 2017). I ranked Tennessee at #5 and didn't think this was a "must-win" football game. As we saw a year ago, losing your first SEC matchup didn’t dictate the rest of the season. Unfortunately, things have changed and I firmly believe this is a "must-win" ballgame.

The multi-billion dollar industry that is the National Football League (NFL), is on the losing side of the constant Tug-of-War between self-interest and mutuality of interest. For decades, the NFL’s only concern was ensuring high revenue and return of profit with little social responsibility. Due to social media and viral videos, however, social responsibility has become a focal point in mass media. Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL, knows this all too well. His undefined authorities overseeing the NFL, particularly pertaining to player “conduct issues”, currently have him under fire. Recently dubbed “The Enforcer” in 2012 by Time Magazine, Roger Goodell has been praised for his
There is possibly one thing my mother loves as much as me, Southern Miss football, and from an early age she passed it down to me. At less than two
My first experience on the UW-Madison campus was during my freshman year of high school, when our marching band attended Band Day at a Badger football game. Recently having come down with a cold, I had almost dreaded attending the game due to the heat, heavy uniforms, and a sore throat. Upon our arrival at Camp Randall, that feeling immediately went away. The atmosphere in the stadium was unlike anything I had felt before. The sea of red and white and the sense of community instantly overwhelmed me to a point where I no longer could be bothered by the heavy uniforms, scorching heat, or scratchy throat. I was sick the next year when the same trip came around, but I knew that just being back at Camp Randall, watching the Varsity Band perform
The Texans won nine games in 2014-15, but just two of those victories came against teams with a record above .500. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who started at quarterback the majority of Houston’s games last season, is suddenly the Jets starting quarterback. Texans head coach Bill O’Brien has yet to name a starting quarterback this season, setting up a battle between Ryan Mallett and recently acquired Brian Hoyer. In his rookie season, 2014 No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney played in just four games and failed to record a sack. Clowney will be expected to show the world why the Texans thought he was worth a No. 1 overall pick, and Houston will attempt to reach the postseason for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
All over social media, especially Twitter, the Missouri State football team announced that they would not play in any further games until the current President Tim Wolfe was to resign or be fired. The situation sounds harsh but the reason for it is there has been racism around the campus and no one is doing a thing about it. This protest has made a huge impact and attention to the school as well as the President. I believe that what they were doing as a team was very powerful. If I were the president I would have done things a little differently.
NCAA Football Game Continued? NCAA Football video games were some of the best games of their time. This was the battle ground for college football fans. When the game was discontinued after the 2014 edition, lovers of the game were stunned. In order to continue the game, EA Sports would have to pay the players and the colleges to be able to produce and sell the game.
It all started when I was about three years old when my good friend Anthony Williams and I became friends when he ran his bike into my sand box. Football has been an event in my life since I was three years old and it still is today. “The key to life is not what life gives to you but what you take from life. It’s not how life treats you but how you treat life. You have a choice in life. You can either thrive or survive.”_ Coach London. Football has made me into the person I am today, hard working, and determined.
My father is a big football fan and even wrote in my baby book that he hoped I would grow up loving the game as much as he does. Well his dream came true as I am a self proclaimed football junkie. A few months prior to my Freshman year of High School I announced I would be
