Several years ago, I met Bill Curry for the first time. It was a snowy December night in Boone, N.C. as Appalachian State prepared for a semifinal playoff appearance against Furman in 2005. Curry, a survivor of many cold, winter days, playing center for the Green Bay Packers, was bundled up in a parka, as he compared the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field with that of Kidd Brewer Stadium. Curry, who was there to broadcast a college football game in a few days for ESPN, ...

Just a week away from the Big South Conference sending its first automatic qualifier to the FCS playoffs, the league is preparing for the possibility of three teams tying for the top spot.

In the Philadelphia area alone, just a short commute from CSN headquarters, you have two ...
BALTIMORE, Md. — For those of us who cover the Football Championship Subdivision, Saturday's are not enough. There is something special about covering a game on a Thursday night that gets you gets you a little more revved up for the games to come on Saturday. I am sitting in the press box of Hughes Stadium, on the campus of Morgan State University (4-5, 3-3) for the Bears' game with No. 15-ranked South Carolina State 7-2, 5-1) tonight. This quaint facility ...
