The OFD 2010 Bowl Preview Part III- The Big Finish
I have to get this last bowl preview post up before I get too busy. In a couple of hours we will be kicking off our Sun Bowl pre-party and tomorrow will be a full day of Notre Dame vs. Miami Sun Bowl mania. When I emerge from the glorious haze on Saturday morning only 13 bowl games will stand...
Dressed To Impress: Examining the New Uniforms of 2010
A few weeks ago I took a look at this year’s new Nike Pro Combat uniforms burning corneas and exploding HD televisions all over the nation. Needless to say, I thought this year’s crop from Nike (with some exceptions, e.g. Oregon State) was a giant puddle of pathetic design on par with the...

The special treatment for the Rose Bowl to preserve a Pac-10 vs Big Ten matchup even when a Big Ten or Pac-10 team plays in the BCS Championship Game ends in 2010. This has the potential to be interesting. The two best Rose Bowls of the decade were the two that Texas played in following the 2004...
OFD 2009 Preseason Preview- Big Ten
