Peyton Manning leads symphony in performance of ‘Rocky Top’

You’ve seen Peyton Manning dancing to Tennessee Volunteers anthem “Rocky Top” at Denver Broncos practice. But have you seen him lead the Colorado Symphony in a rendition?

Now if only Peyton could do something about that guy playing “Sweet Home Alabama” at Tennessee practice ...

An early National Signing Day is probably coming. We broke down what that means for you and your school, as well as potential winners and losers.

Army-Navy isn’t budging. The College Football Playoff changes plans for the service academy classic, not the other way around.

Educational television. Spencer Hall analyzes Rose’s football strategies from The Golden Girls.
