Cinderella was dancing in this years College Football Playoffs but Alabama was the clock that struck midnight. The Cincinnati Bearcats were the first Group of Five school to make the CFB Playoffs since their inception in 2014. Alabama, on the other hand, has been a mainstay in the playoffs as they've only missed one in that same time. Cincinnati's defense did an excellent job of containing the Crimson Tide a majority of the game but ultimately was undone by their offense. Cincinnati could only manage 218 total yards and scored zero touchdowns in the game. Quarterback Desmond Ridder completed 17-of-32 passes for only 144 passing yards for an average of 4.5 passing yards per completion. Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr. had an outstanding game, rushing for a Crimson Tide Bowl record 204 rushing yards. The Heisman Trophy winner, Bryce Young, also contributed with three passing touchdowns. While the Bearcat would have preferred the victory, was this a great moral win for non-Power 5 school?

Welcome in Slumpbusters! The Heisman race in 2021 had a lengthy list of preseason hopefuls but only one made it to the end. Bryce Young a week after securing another SEC Championship for Alabama was given the most prestigious award in College Football. Young set a SEC Championship record for passing yards in the win against a Georgia defense that had given up just over 40 points all season. Young threw for over 4,322 yards with 43 touchdowns and the second best QBR in the nation at 88.9. Other players that were invited to the ceremony included Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett and Michigan pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson. Young, a sophomore, has an opportunity to defend his Heisman as he is not yet eligible to enter the NFL Draft after this season. #RollTide #BryceYoung #Alabama The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is over and it is the Baylor Bears cutting down the nets. Baylor led by a 22-point effort from Jared Butler and a fantastic defensive performance stopped Gonzaga. Gonzaga, after surviving UCLA on a Jalen Suggs OT buzzer-beater, could not preserve their perfect season. The National Title is Baylor Universities first in the history of their men's basketball program. Would you have preferred perfection or happy to set the championship end up in Waco? #Baylor #Gonzaga #NCAA #MarchMadness #NCAAMensBasketball #BaylorBears Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo is once again under scrutiny over his confrontation with player, Gabe Brown. This isn't the first time that Izzo has been accused of taking things too far. In 2019 his verbal exchange with Aaron Henry went viral on all the daily talk circuits. Is there really an issue with the way Izzo coaches his players? What does it mean players like Draymond Green so adamantly defend him? Enjoy my reaction to the confrontation! #TomIzzo #MichiganState #Spartans #NCAA #NCAAMensTournament #MarchMadness This NCAA Men's Basketball tournament may be one of the most fun viewing experiences in years. The Loyola - Chicago Ramblers made Sister Jean proud with a big time upset over top-seed and in-state rival, the Illinois Fighting Illini. Meanwhile, Oral Roberts followed up beating the Buckeyes with a victory over Florida to advance to the Sweet 16. Is this the most shocking March Madness in years? How far can the Ramblers and Golden Eagles advance? Will Cameron Krutwig star in the next Super Troopers? Enjoy my thoughts! #LoyolaChicago #MarchMadness #OralRoberts #Florida #MarchMadness #NCAA #NCAAMensBasketball Texas is in fact not back and may never come back from this devastating upset. The 14-seeded Abilene Christian Wildcats defeated the Texas Longhorns 53-52. Texas, the Big-12 champions, outshot ACU from the field but failed to receive their first NCAA Tournament victory under Shaka Smart. Smart, the former Virginia Commonwealth head coach, is now 0-3 in six seasons as the Longhorns coach. Is it time for Texas to move on? Is Abilene Christian the next big Cinderella story? Is March Madness madder than its ever been before? #MarchMadness #Texas #Hookem #NCAAM #NCAA #NCAAMensBasketball #Longhorns March Madness is back and in a big way. Thee Ohio State Buckeyes officially became the ninth no. 2 seed to be beaten by a no. 15 seed. Oral Roberts overcame a +16 Vegas betting line to bust brackets across the country. Is your bracket still perfect or in the garbage? How are Ohio State fans feeling after this humiliating defeat? Are the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles the next Cinderella to dance in the NCAA Men's basketball tournament? #MarchMadness #NCAA #NCAAMensBasketball #OhioState #OralRoberts #NCAAM EA made a shocking announcement for gamers everywhere, the NCAA Football series will return to shelves for next generation consoles. Our resident gamer, the Fantasy Aristotle gives his thoughts on the return of the once retired franchise. How does NCAA Football affect the sport of college football as a whole given players rights to their name and likeness? Is there a football mode greater than mascot mode? What will NCAAF look like on next gen? #VideoGames #EA #ElectronicArts #NCAAF #CFB #CollegeFootball #NCAA Tennessee Football has a rough season and they are having a rougher off-season. The University of Tennessee fired head coach Jeremy Pruitt and several coaches for reportedly breaking several NCAA rules. On the Dan Patrick Show this week it was alleged Pruitt and his Vols staff stuffed McDonald's bags full of cash to bride recruits. What should the NCAA do? How much trouble is the Tennessee Volunteers football program facing? #TennesseeFootball #UniversityofTennessee #JeremyPruitt #Vols #TennesseeVols #TennesseeVolunteers #NCAAF #CollegeFootball Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide have won another national title beating Ohio State soundly in the CFB National Title Game.
