When you think political action committee (PAC), you usually don’t think BCS. In an effort to establish a post-season championship game, a group of young professionals (mostly attorneys) and die-hard college football fans started the Playoff PAC to raise funds for candidates who support a playoff system. We all know the BCS, at its current state, is full of flaws and a paper champion rather than a true champion is crowned king. Hopefully, with the money raised, it will further bolster...
Greetings fellow gamblers. Last week’s lock failed me as Air Force failed to cover taking me to a terrible 1-2 for the year. It’s ok though because we have a lot of games left to make up for lost money. This week’s lock comes to you on a Friday. The Pittsburgh Panthers (3-1) are traveling to Kentucky to face off against Louisville (1-2) and are favored by 6. Now as you know, Dave Wannstedt is all about defense and Lousiville isn’t...
In 1961, Ernest “Ernie” Davis became the first African-American to win the Heisman Memorial Trophy. 48 years later, Syracuse finally decides to honor Davis by naming the Carrier Dome’s field the “Ernie Davis Legends Field.” A dedication ceremony will take place during the halftime show of the West Virginia game on October 10th. Although Davis never played in the Carrier Dome (because it wasn’t opened until 1979), the school wants fans and players to always remember one of the...
So here it is, Blount’s official apology: By LeGarrette Blount | University running back Though the incident at Boise State happened before the start of classes, there probably are few members of our University community who are unaware of the images and media reports of my regrettable actions following the Oregon-Boise State football game. There is no justification for my behavior — not the “heat of the moment,” not the “agony of defeat,” and definitely not anything said or...
It is clear the times are changing. Yesterday, Kentucky’s head coach Rich Brooks went through a serious surgical procedure to remove skin cancer from his lower leg. Rather than having the AD or the University release an official statement, Brooks decided to inform the world in an unconventional way, through a tweet: Had a skin cancer cut out of my lower leg. Old age is not much fun. Planed tomorrow’s practice and we will have most of our guys back.about 21 hours...
As my readers are aware, this site is 100% dedicated to college football, but every now and then, I will break the plane and touch base on other sports. So with that, a well deserved round of applause goes out to star basketball player Kevin Laue (rhymes with “pow”). Kevin Laue is a 6’11 center from Pleasanton, California. He is about to embark on a difficult journey of playing D-1 NCAA basketball for Manhattan College. Not only does he have...
Minnesota Golden Gopher goes nuts on a Saturday night. LB Gary Tinsley apparently decided to work on his “swing a wooden board routine” during a huge drunken brawl involving at least 15 -20 people. As a result, he was arrested Sunday morning by university police. The Startribune.com states Tinsley was cited for underage drinking and fleeing from police on foot after the huge fight in Dinkytown. The school did not issue a statement as to any disciplinary actions for Tinsley. But let’s hope the team...
Bad news for you Iowa State fans. Yesterday, WR Darius Reynolds broke his leg in practice–fracturing his fibula. Reynolds will be out of commission for at least one month. This is a significant loss to an injury prone Cyclones team that doesn’t have much talent to begin with. Basically, Reynolds, as a juco transfer and 1st year starter, is the 2nd leading receiver on the team. As a top receiver, he has only amassed 13 receptions for 72 yards. As of now, there is no word regarding Reynolds’...
