It appears a dozen or so Tulane football players may have the H1N1 virus (more commonly known as the swine flu). The players are being told to stay in their apartment or dorm and the team will treat them there. Two players have already been tested positive. Since the effected players have minor like symptoms, they should bounce back and be on the field shortly as soon as they are cleared by the team’s physician, Greg Stewart.
Notes on Notre Dame. ‘Cuse optimistic about future and anticipates big crowds. Florida State and Oklahoma do get along. Florida State must release papers. Everyone needs a little Irish pride. This Buds for you Mr. Hokie Fan and Tigers Fan. JoePa on the recruiting trail. Countdown to football frustration. Mr. Decker is not welcome here. Well played Zook.
In an effort to create a more Singapore type atmosphere, Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer is implementing the no potty-mouth rule while on the job. This means coaches and staff cannot say any vulgar or profane words in front of other coaches, staff, and especially players during meetings, practices, workouts, etc. It’s not enough for his staff to say, “yes sir, I accept your dumba$$ rule,” rather he is going to levy fines. The fines can range anywhere from $10, $20,...

Former LSU and starting Jacksonville State QB Ryan Perrilloux has been suspended for the home opener against Georgia Tech. The team issued a statement saying Perrilloux was suspended for violating team rules (as if we haven’t heard that before). Though the exact infraction remains a mystery, we do know that Perrilloux had prior problems at LSU for skipping classes, failed drug tests, missing meetings, and arriving late to workouts. He was a headache for the coaching staff at LSU,...
The 3rd string QB spot may have just opened up at Kansas State. Freshman QB Joseph Kassanavoid was arrested last night for misdemeanor battery charges. Coincidentally, a 21 year old female, Ashleigh Brooke Mitchell, was also arrested at that same address. This seems to be eerily familiar to the Upshaw incident. Lt. Michael Quintanar of the Riley County Police Department would not release any other details regarding the arrests. K-State’s athletic director did not comment as to Kassanavoid’s future...
If you live in the state of Iowa, you best hit your beer distributors ASAP. Bud Light has released its unsanctioned promotional cans of red and gold for Iowa State (in Ames) and black and gold for the University of Iowa (in Iowa City). The cans are being released coincidentally at the same time students are returning back to school. The beauty of these cans is that there is no mention of school name or logo. Neither school promotes the idea as both...
Arkansas Razorback WR Lucas Miller broke his collar bone during yesterday’s practice. He is scheduled to have surgery today. If all goes well, he will be out for 4-6 weeks, but should see some playing time shortly after the season opener. Miller is a 5th year senior, who originally walked-on as a red-shirt freshman. He has moved up the ranks of the depth chart and had a solid reserve role last season with 30 receptions for 490 yards and 2 TDs.
