It is no surprise the general public does not think highly of our federal government. During the midst of record unemployment, North and South Korea in a stand-off, TSA taking the body search too far, and a never ending war in Afghanistan, long sitting Nevada Senator Harry Reid (D) decided to take the Senate floor on Monday to praise Nevada on their stunning victory over Boise State. It is clear, Nevada’s win was one for the ages, but the...
When Alabama and Auburn were warming-up prior to the Iron Bowl, one Alabama fan took taunting to an entire new level. The staffer in charge of the pregame music over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address system played songs aimed at Newton such as “Take the Money and Run” and “Son of a Preacher Man.” Alabama has strict policy on all music and videos played before, during, and after the game. Since those two songs were not cleared by school...
With the ousting of Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins earlier this month, the Buffaloes have been scouring the country to find a replacement for a depleted football team and program. A name that continuously comes to the forefront is former Colorado head coach Bill McCartney. McCartney, who is now 70 years-old successfully coached Colorado from 1982 to 1994 amassing a 93-55-5 overall record. He won Colorado’s first and only national championship in 1990 with three Big 8 titles, three...
The BCS storm cleared last night as No. 4 Boise State blew a 24-7 lead falling to No. 19 Nevada with Kyle Brotzman missing an OT field goal stunning the Broncos 34-31. As Nevada stormed the field in ecstasy, the Boise State sideline was in disappointment knowing their BCS Championship birth or even a BCS bid has ended. Meanwhile, the Ducks put on a second half clinic scoring 34 second half points punching their BCS birth ticket with a...
In the aftermath of a tumultuous week for Nebraska, Bo Pelini, and QB Taylor Martinez, it looks like sophomore QB Cody Green will get the start for Nebraska’s season finale against Colorado for the Big 12 North championship. Pelini cited turf toe in Martinez’ left foot and a sore right ankle that will keep the shifty QB sidelined for the must win Colorado game. This will be Green’s second start of the season (4th career start) who is coming...
USC back-up QB Mitch Mustain cannot get confirmation from the team that he will start this week when the Fighting Irish travel to tinseltown for a classic college football rivalry. Starting QB Matt Barkley, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the first half of USC’s embarrassing loss to Oregon State last week, is listed as the starter despite being on crutches and in street clothes all this week. Even if Barkley does not practice this week, coach Kiffin...
When one thinks of Thanksgiving, turkey, cranberries, stuffing, and grandma’s sweet potato pie all come to mind, but for the Oregon Ducks, there will be no traditional holiday fare this season. The Ducks, who are ready to book their tickets to Glendale, have a rare Friday night game playing host to #17 Arizona. Coach Kelly has the team on a strict schedule and diet which does not include a turkey meal. But not all is lost, as Kelly found...
Most label football players as jocks who have a free pass in the classroom, but University of Alabama QB Greg McElroy is nothing of the sort. McElroy is as much an athlete as an academic. Over a year ago, McElroy began the tedious application for a Rhodes Scholarship (a prestigious international award which is only given to 32 U.S. applicants per year). Unfortunately, McElroy found out this weekend that he was not selected as one of the two among...
