Over the past few weeks I have enjoyed the majority of the articles at [B/R Bleacher Report College Football](http://bleacherreport.com/college-football) with one exception: waiting for pages to load seems to become a major hassle. But I figured a way around that issue that may not have occurred to you, so here’s how I solved the problem.

- Open a Notepad new file.
- Do a “Select All” and “Copy” of the “first page” of the article
- “Paste” it into Notepad
- Strip away the parts you aren’t interested in
- You lose the pictures, but the reading is much faster

Do you know of an even simpler solution to reading there?

The Best Coach in the History of Every College Football Team

Might be worth further reading.

Applying the OP trick, I find:

Some of those names I might argue with, but many of them I had never heard of.

This way, I spent a few minutes to decide that maybe paging through them one by one might be a rewarding expenditure of my time. Maybe not, but at least I now have a clue.
