With exactly 11 months to go, I have no leads on any nominations to any 30 under 30 list, and I'm running out of time. These awards are handed out for just about everything, and I track my various failures daily. Despite having no experience in the field, not seeing Erik Buchinger in last week's Coldwell Banker 30 Under 30 Real Estate Professionals hurt to a degree you will never fully understand. The Forbes 30 Under 30 list might be the first of its kind and if it's not, it's certainly the most popular. I'm fairly confident I'll be snubbed once again, but that's okay because I'm far more interested in a blog I've never heard of ranking a list of

NOTE: This page is no longer being updated on this site and can be found here on The Gunslinger Buzz. Subscribe for a look inside the future quarterback room of your favorite college football team. As it continues to evolve to be a year-round sport, here are some of the college football key dates moving forward. When is 2022 National Signing Day? The Class of 2022 National Signing Day period has passed. Prospects can still sign an athletic aid agreement after that date without a National Letter of Intent, which is a binding contract for the school and player, while an athletic aid agreement without the NLI is a binding contract for the school but not the player in most cases. When is the
Top 5 best college football podcasts
With tons of change in a short period of time, it's never been easier to get lost as a college football fan. Thankfully, coverage on the internet continues to get better with plenty of ways to stay updated on the most important storylines. As it shifts into a sport that needs to be followed year-round, I'm here to help as I narrowed down the list of the 5 best college football podcasts going. Just like the coaches and players, you need to be preparing for the season right now. I found each one of my favorite college football podcasts in previous offseasons, and trust me - you will not be at your best as a fan in November if you're not
My national championship game day experience
In the fall of 2020, I turned on the TV and observed Wisconsin's Graham Mertz play the quarterback position better than just about anyone I've ever seen at the college level to open up a Big Ten season in late October. Much has changed since then including the return of packed college football stadiums as the Wisconsin Badgers shined in front of a crowd of zero that night in Madison. Through 28 years of life, I've come to realize there is no greater collaboration than college football and its fans, and the only thing that comes close is Double Stuf Oreo's and milk when executed correctly. As I watched Mertz throw his fifth touchdown pass to tie the program's single-game record in
Sizzling Hot Picks against the Spread – First Four edition
Just a short time ago, we struck gold in a new era when sports betting strategies were being introduced to the American public as the legalization boom spread across the country. Just like anybody interested in the rapidly growing industry, I sought out the most important statistics and best methods to do the impossible - make money betting on sports. Picking the more experienced roster wasn't the answer, and neither was siding with the team that had more rest days in between games. With so much information available to the betting public and sportsbooks sniffing out the successful strategies to minimize their impact, I needed to think outside the box to find my edge. After a few trial runs, I finally found
Best names of the 2022 NCAA Tournament
While you're researching college hoops to figure out what KenPom is or determining whether senior guard play is the key to a Final Four run, I've been putting in the time identifying the best names of the 2022 NCAA Tournament. This is a sport that featured some of the best names you will ever see with examples like Diamond Stone, God's Gift Achiuwa and McWisdom Badejo. Yes, those three came right off the top of my head. Elite sports names mean that much to me. After taking a look at the rosters of all 68 teams in the field, I found enough gems to put together first team, second team and honorable mention selections. Some quality names that were snubbed this time
College football coaching carousel tracker – 2021-2022
The 2021-2022 college football coaching carousel will be remembered forever as one of the craziest silly seasons in the sport's history with some of the premier programs in the country hiring and firing new head coaches and stealing them from other top programs. With the importance of having a coach lined up prior to the Early Signing Period, schools are making changes earlier and earlier during the season to save what is left of the first recruiting class. College football saw a tamed down coaching carousel last season when many administrators had more things to worry about than who will lead the football team into the future, but that certainly wasn't the case during this cycle. A year after 17 programs
Sizzling hot picks against the spread – Bet on love
Each week of the 2021 college football season, I will request betting advice for the five biggest games of the upcoming Saturday from people I match with through dating apps in with a season-long competition against myself. We did a version of this in the past before Vegas likely shut down what will go down as the most successful sports betting + online dating collaboration to ever exist. The pics were hot, but the picks were even hotter as my dating app matches correctly picked six consecutive bowl games against the spread before our reign of terror over the sportsbooks ended. Professional sports bettors have access to all the same numbers, spreadsheets and data, but this is an untapped market we're
My Illinois football game day experience at Memorial Stadium
A couple days before the game, I noticed the tickets were cheap and with a free Saturday, why not take a quick five-hour road trip to watch the first college football game of the season between Illinois and Nebraska? It was the first Big Ten game that allowed fans in attendance since 2019 and the first full-capacity game since LSU capped off a 15-0 national championship season with Joe Burrow under center. Most importantly, it was the first game since my hero Bret Bielema returned to the Big Ten. The only regret came in the seconds following the 4:45 a.m. wakeup call. I didn't have any idea of what to expect from the pregame scene and while the lack of beers
