The Crimson Tide of Alabama has been one of the premiere teams in all of college football from the beginning of the sport. The team has garnered an incredible thirteen recognized national championships, as well as eight of the so-called “consensus” titles, as well as numerous conference championship and bowl game victories. Its winning tradition has made it one of the most recognizable teams in America, and makes it one of the most lucrative recruiting centers for elite college players. For a quarter of a century, one man coached the Crimson Tide to almost half of its total national titles. That man, whose tenure at Alabama stretched from 1957 through the end of 1982, was genially known as Bear Bryant.

The Red Raiders football team is the representative of Texas Tech University – often referred to simply as “Tech” – in the Big Twelve Conference of the NCAAs. Football has been an integral part of the Texas Tech tradition since 1925, with varying degrees of success. Overall, the program has garnered eleven total conference championships in its history, and maintains a positive record of wins and losses. One of the brightest periods in its history occurred during the prior decade, when the Red Raiders had a winning season during each year between 2001 and 2009. Much of the team’s success during that period can be attributed to the coaching of a man who had never suited up for a football game in his life.

In the course of the last half century, there has not been a college football program that has seen more success in terms of wins than the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As one of only seven NCAA football programs to garner 800 or more wins in their history, the Cornhuskers have been a college football power for most of their 119 seasons, holding the fourth highest number of wins in Division 1 football. In addition, they have achieved five national championships, with three of those coming in the last quarter century. Those three national titles were earned under the guidance and tutelage of the legendary Thomas “Tom” Osborne, who coached the Nebraska Cornhuskers between 1973 and 1997.

Philadelphia Phillies’ slugger Ryan Howard has two years remaining on his current contract with the club, but the team had no interest in potentially losing him as a free agent. For that reason, the Phillies have worked out a hefty contract extension with Howard that will pay him an average $25 million a year for the next five years. The deal is the second richest in Major League baseball behind the New York Yankees’ shortstop Alex Rodriguez who pulls down a cool $27.5 million per season.

Well it is another season for the Detroit tigers and that can only mean one thing, another season of so close yet so far. Let’s face it the football team sucks, the basketball team sucks, and the hockey team is barely hanging on. This leaves the hope for a successful sports season in Detroit in the hands of the Tigers, this is as good of an idea as leaving a child with a hammer and anvil. The Tigers are not a bad baseball team, they are just not a good one.

Cub fans all across the country know that when they hear Lou Pinella speak, that there is going to be something interesting that will come out of his mouth.

There is a lot of hope for the team from Austin this year, many people think that this will be the year that they will go back to the College World Series and reclaim their spot in baseball history.
