Alabama fans were understandably frustrated during the Crimson Tide’s 45-31 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners Thursday in the Sugar Bowl.

David Baker, a partner in the Union Village development in Henderson, has been named president and executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
A chilling wind will sweep across the field in Philadelphia, dropping temperatures into the teens, and history indicates the elements are the best defense against New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
This is how much quarterback Caleb Herring meant to UNLV. Now that his playing days are over for the Rebels, they’re not ready to let him go.
In a scathing article posted Thursday, former Minnesota punter Chris Kluwe wrote that coach Mike Priefer made several anti-gay comments in objection to Kluwe’s outspoken support of a gay marriage amendment in Minnesota.
Players coming in, coaches going out, accusations of bigotry, network drama and catastrophic weather. It’s just another start to the year for the NFL.
UNLV couldn’t have played much better defense in the first half, holding North Texas to seven points as the teams took a tie game into halftime. But North Texas moved the ball in the second half and kept UNLV’s defense on the field.
The first tear slid slowly down his right cheek, unhurried in its progress as if every speck of skin should absorb its purpose. The connection between losing and UNLV football was accepted for so long, unfeigned emotion following a defeat had over time become indiscernible.
North Texas didn’t make life easy on UNLV quarterback Caleb Herring, pressuring him throughout its 36-14 win over the Rebels in Wednesday’s Heart of Dallas Bowl.
North Texas took advantage of a tiring UNLV defense to score four touchdowns in the second half and win the Heart of Dallas Bowl 36-14 today before an announced crowd of 38,380 at Cotton Bowl Stadium.
Bill O’Brien is leaving Penn State less than two years after replacing Joe Paterno and returning to the NFL with the Houston Texans to coach the worst team in the league.
North Texas head coach Dan McCarney is 60, and in a 14-month span in 2012 and 2013, he suffered a major stroke and underwent quadruple bypass surgery but returned to work five days after the latter procedure. That’s him. Tough as nails and a little wacko.
Having a winning season three times in 20 years doesn’t give you much to get excited about. But this season was exciting.
This is UNLV’s first game without a playoff-type feel, the first game that winning or losing won’t have greater effects on the season. Win or lose the Heart of Dallas Bowl, this will be considered a successful season. But the Rebels didn’t come here to lose.
