There were three college football games that were on my must-watch list during the Thanksgiving weekend. All three of the games were Pac-12 games. One of the games was Stanford versus Notre Dame, which was the last college football game to be televised by the Pac-12 television network. The Civil War Game in Oregon, although […]

I watched two games on Saturday. The first game was Oregon versus Washington. The second game was Notre Dame versus USC. The Oregon loss to Washington didn’t bother me, although I was rooting for Oregon. The bittersweet moment was watching a game knowing that this would be the last football season for the Pac 12 […]

I have followed Notre Dame football from the time that you might get four televised games and you would have to listen to the next six on the radio. The second team I follow is Oregon. My son roomed with an […]

Hard to believe he didn’t win the Mackey Award for the best tight end at some point in his three years at Notre Dame. I suppose sportswriters and coaches have their own biases and axes to grind. He will probably go very early in the first round of the NFL draft. At 265 pounds and […]

Last week ND played in the snow. This Saturday they go to Los Angeles to play USC. The rivalry began in 1926 and is considered one of the fiercest in college football.

The Epidemic of Fans Threatening Athletes

 

It was a simple nine-yard play.

On the 49ers second possession, Raheem Mostert carried the ball for nine yards, then noticed something didn’t feel right. He went right off the field. Diagnosis: chipped cartilage in his knee. He opted for cartilage repair surgery, which ended his season at four snaps.

First off, “In these uncertain times.” Now that that’s out of the way, what risk is being mitigated by the powers that be in college football?
