CFB Annual Previews: The Sporting News

June 5 – June 12, 2006

Each summer, like the arrival of cicadas in August, periodicals like The Sporting News, Athlon Sports, Phil Steele’s, and others try to make sense out of an otherwise senseless endeavor – predicting what team will finish where, and (believe it or not) why.  Almost all of these annuals claim they’re better than the rest.  And why not?  They still sell out the stocks each summer.  What’s a little friendly competition between sports magazines?

I’m not sure whether I’m alone on this, but I really don’t believe I buy these football annuals for the sake of getting a better grasp on the upcoming college football season.  I enjoy the almost comical differences in each annual.

The discrepancies continue on and on each preseason.  Some of the annuals get lucky (Phil Steele’s PSU rank was the highest of all), some get unlucky (Athlon Sports’ was the lowest).  But one thing always remains the same; anything can happen.

Most Boring Time of the Year – Until Now!

May 22 – June 4, 2006

If you’re like me, you can agree that the entire month of May is time to relax, do some spring cleaning, prepare for that upcoming Memorial Day barbeque, and sit out on the lawn chair drinking in the fact that there is absolutely NOTHING going on in the world of college football.

Finally, May is now over and we are all ready to explode like it’s the last day of school.  What do we get to quench our thirst for football?  We get inundated with the perennial flood of “trust-us-we-know-what-will-happen-this-year” magazines hitting the shelves this week.  Yes, it’s the month of preseason college football annuals, and no one is more excited than I am.

No Stranger to Losing
Written by Chris Checchio   
Saturday, 03 June 2006

I have to start off by saying it is nice to know what being “healthy” feels like again after spending last week confined in bed with a 102-degree fever and the flu.  Dining on nothing but Gatorade and chicken noodle soup is not what it is all cracked up to be.  Now I have regained my full cognitive thought giving me the ability to author articles that feature not only my opinion, but statements I deem to be unequivocally correct.  Since this is my first article and we are just beginning to get to know each other, I figured I would touch on the teams I grew up watching…lose.
