Well, my favorite time of year has arrived: college football season. This Labor Day weekend, pigskins will fly and pom-poms will shake. As beautiful as the Texas Hill Country is, the high plains of West Texas are where I’d dearly love to be right now. Alas, I will have to settle for watching my alma […]

As longtime Ricochetti are well aware, I am a big fan of Washington State Cougars head football coach Mike Leach, who coached my Texas Tech Red Raiders from 2000 to 2009. I even wrote a post about him a few years ago. Thus, imagine my joy when I learned that the Old Pirate endorsed Donald […]

This week features an early-edition college football open thread because my Texas Tech Red Raiders are facing off against the Texas Longhorns in Austin this Thanksgiving evening. It’s been seven years since the Raiders last beat the Horns on an epic catch by Michael Crabtree, arguably the signature win of the Mike Leach era: Preview Open

For the second week in a row, I’m running late with my college football post.  Anyway, here are a few games of interest this weekend. In the Big Ten, the No. 12 Michigan Wolverines are leading the Penn State Nittany Lions 21-16 midway through the fourth quarter.  Later today, the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes […]

Due to the furor caused by the recent depredations committed in Gay Paree by the violent, insane adherents of the “Religion of Peace,” I got distracted and forgot to post my usual college football thread early this morning.  Here it is. In the Big Ten, the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes are leading the Illinois […]

We are now two-and-a-half months into the season, and on this Veterans Day weekend a number of key games should bring some clarity to the playoff picture. What might well be this weekend’s biggest matchup is in the Atlantic Coast Conference, where the No. 16 Florida State Seminoles face a difficult game on the road against […]

Most of this week’s college football games will be played on Halloween, and more than a few should offer a good fright to viewers.  Out west, Mike Leach and the Washington State Cougars take on the visiting No. 8 Stanford Cardinal in what has become an unlikely battle for Pac-12 North supremacy.  Y’all know who […]

Apologies for the delay in posting this week’s college football thread, but it’s been an unusually busy few days at the LaRoche estate in the Texas Hill Country. As it happens, my Texas Tech Red Raiders have already played today, defeating the Kansas Jayhawks 30-20 on the road in Lawrence.  It was a game filled […]

Disaster.  That’s the only word that can adequately describe the results of Texas Tech’s 63-35 beatdown last week at the hands of Baylor.  This week, the Red Raiders are hoping for some redemption as they host the Iowa State Cyclones, traditionally one of the weaker teams in the Big 12 Conference.  But given Texas Tech’s […]

Well, I won’t mince words: last week sucked.  My Texas Tech Red Raiders lost a 55-52 heartbreaker at home in Lubbock to the TCU Horned Frogs, the final score coming on a luckily-tipped pass.  The officiating was lousy (though in retrospect, not determinative of the game’s final outcome), something that has become a hallmark of […]

The fourth week of the college football season is now upon us, and at noon (Eastern) today on ABC is a fascinating matchup featuring the No. 22 BYU Cougars heading to Ann Arbor to face Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines.  The Cougars are seeking to bounce back from last week’s heartbreaking loss on the road […]
