The last time the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl was in 1995. Think about that statement for a second. Most of the students in the 2015 and 2016 classes were not yet born, and the students in the classes of 2013 and 2014 were only toddlers. In 10 of those seasons since the last Super Bowl victory, the...
The Cowboys Draft Preview   Draft day. Two words that fill the nightmares of Cowboys' fans. After not making the playoffs in 2011 and 2012, the Cowboys need to have a strong draft class this year. This draft becomes even more important as memories of the botched drafts of 2008 and 2009 (no players from the '08 or '09 drafts are...
Ahh, after a long twelve months, March Madness has finally returned.  The four days where you research, flip coins and do other wacky and superstitious things to pick your teams.  Whether you take ten minutes or two hours, you always need some background information to fill out your bracket and win within your group.

With 55 career rushing touchdowns, 22 this season, "Optimus Klein," as he is known as by his fans, is a force to be...
He takes the snap in the shotgun formation, drops back three steps and waits for the play to develop. He looks right: no one there, he looks left: no one there, the clock in his head is ticking down. He takes off to the right side, but two Alabama defensive linemen are there.   He cuts back to his left and...
Gazing across his defensive line, Manti Te’o makes eye contact with the opposing quarterback, Landry Jones, sending chills down his spine. Snapping the ball, the center catches a glimpse of the 6’2”, 255 pound-middle-linebacker from the University of Notre Dame clad in his classic, golden helmet and white jersey stitched with a large, navy number five outlined in white....
