Cory McCartney: Boise, Houston and TCU all rank, but who’s the best buster?

This past week, the clock struck midnight for a number of would-be contenders. First Ole Miss fell with a resounding thud on Thursday night, then Cal, Miami and Penn State followed suit on Saturday. But something else happened, too. While these overhyped teams were being exposed, the non-BCS teams were shattering the glass slipper and [...]

Kevin Armstrong: Twitter posts to recruit show negative side of contact with fans

Two weeks ago, Kyrie Irving, one of the nation’s top basketball recruits, co-hosted a video chat room via UStream.tv. while visiting a classmate’s house. For an hour and a half, the two, sitting side-by-side in front of a MacBook Pro, took questions from viewers, ranging from the college-selection process to whether Irving has a girlfriend. [...]

Brant James: Montoya in title contention right on time

Brad Parrott stood amid the threadbare amenities of the small garage and beamed. The banks of laptop computers and data acquisition technology underscored the disparity between the squadron of Ganassi Racing engineers and the handful of part-time/hard-time wannabes massed at Iowa Speedway for this test session in the grass roots ARCA stock series in late [...]

Ross Tucker: Rookie coaches chasing momentum

The Jets have it. So do the Broncos. I’m pretty sure the 49ers still have it, even though they lost on Sunday. And who knows, the Lions may have just started to get it after snapping that 19-game losing streak. I’m talking about momentum, of course, which is a very real thing in the [...]

Stewart Mandel: Boise’s title-game chances, the Thursday night trap, more mail

Loyal Mailbag readers know well I’m not one for speculating about end-of-season BCS scenarios until late October. This season, however, there’s one particular possibility that’s simply too fascinating to ignore. It practically jumps off the page when looking at the current polls.

Jon Wertheim: Date Krumm issues impressive return

1. Move over, Kim Clijsters. The Belgian may have won the U.S. Open but she didn’t even stage the most impressive tennis comeback result this month. Out of the sport since the mid-’90s, Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan returned in full this year and steadily climbed the rankings. On Sunday, a day before her 39th [...]
