Ndamukong Suh is the first defensive player to win AP Player of the Year Honors. The beast of a defensive end from Nebraska edged out Stanford’s Toby Gerhart for the award. Suh has been a dominant force throughout the year and he put on a Heisman worthy performance in the Big XII championship game against Texas. Suh led the ‘Huskers with 12 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks and was invited to New York as a Heisman finalist as a...
“If I died here winning the national championship, that would be a pretty good death,” he said. “Does that tell you how much it means to me?” These were the words spoken by Villanova head coach Andy Talley shortly after winning the FCS National Championship. Andy Talley’s been at Villanova for 25 years and he made his first championship appearance a memorable one.

The most wonderful time of the year is here. It’s the moment that we’ve all waited 4 months for. The 2009/2010 college football bowl season begins today at 4:30PM with Fresno State and Wyoming meeting up in Albuquerque for the New Mexico Bowl. Fresno St. brings a 8-4 record into the game while Wyoming limps in after going 6-6 in the regular season. However, Cowboy fans are just happy to be there as Wyoming hasn’t been to a bowl since...
Cal’s star RB Jahvid Best will not play in the team’s Poinsetta Bowl game. Best suffered a frightening concussion in early November and hasn’t played a down of football since. This has been a disappointing end of the season for the one time Heisman hopeful. Before suffering the injury, Best had rushed for 864 yards and 16 TDs. This is probably the wisest move by Cal’s coaching staff. Best is a junior and has not yet mentioned his intentions...

Times, McKnight has been driving a 2006 Land Rover for the past few weeks which has raised a few heads. Records indicate that the SUV is registered to Santa Monica businessman Scott Schenter.

USF coach Jim Leavitt is in the news again for one of his infamous choke jobs. This time it is not on the football field, but rather, the locker room. According to plaintiff Joel Miller and several witnesses, Leavitt struck Miller twice in the face while grabbing his neck. If true, these charges may be enough to send South Florida’s only coach packing. This story has taken more twists than a General Hospital episode since being reported yesterday. Miller and...
“Spent most of the morning on the phone with recruits,” Kelly wrote. “House got egged last night and the sign on the lawn wasn’t a FOR SALE sign.” This precious message was twitted to former Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly’s Twitter account earlier today. Apparently, some disgruntled Bearcat fans took their frustration over Kelly’s departure to Notre Dame out on his home with a few cartons of eggs. One can’t help but wonder if WR Mardy Gilyard helped lead the charge....
