As easy as it was to be a Trojan fan during the Reggie Bush days, the true loyalists are being put to the test. Last night, USC got trounced by Oregon State 36-7. To make matters work, the Trojans’ beloved starter QB Matt Barkley injured his left ankle on the final offensive play of the first half for the Trojans. He was helped off the field, but eventually was carted to the locker room and was deemed finished for...

Because watching Illinois and Northwestern play at historical Wrigley Field isn’t interesting enough, it looks like the powers-that-be are adding an additional twist to the game by utilizing only one end zone. Since a football field really isn’t designed to fit inside a baseball field, there is some safety concerns at Wrigley’s east end zone. The end zone in question is only feet away from the heavily padded right field wall which presents a potential hazard for players. Being this...
The hits just keep on coming for UCLA. During the 3rd quarter of last night’s loss to conference foe Washington, UCLA’s QB Richard Brehaut was leveled by safety Nate Williams after Brehaut was coming in for a slide. The play resulted in a helmet-to-helmet personal foul, but more importantly it ended the night for Brehaut. Brehuat tried to continue but he was suffering from concussion like symptoms that caused the team doctor to bench the dazed QB and forced Rick...
We all love Joe Paterno, I mean who doesn’t? But it’s kind of absurd and not to mention a waste of monumental time and money, that the U.S. House of Representatives will yield precious time out of their busy schedule to pass a resolution congratulating Penn State football Coach Joe Paterno on his 400th victory. The interesting part of H RES 1715 was not the speech but rather the vote. The final tally was 417-3. The question remains, who are...
If you don’t recall the name Mitchell Cozad it’s probably because he has been incarcerated since 2007 for second degree assault of former University of Northern Colorado starting punter Rafael Mendoza. Back in 2006, Cozad was the second string punter for UNC. He begged and pleaded for the starting job, but his inability to actually punt the ball impeded his dream. Coaches were constantly on him to improve his punting and to work harder. Being taught to fight for...
If you don’t recall the name Michael Barrett, his name became infamous after his arrest and sentence for stalking famed sportscaster Erin Andrews and posting nude photos of her on the web. Apparently, the unscrupulous Barrett has a history of stalking unsuspecting women and is facing more legal action. Earlier this week, a civil suit was filed against Barrett for inter alia stalking and posting nude photos of a woman he supervised while at the Combined Insurance Company of...
Apparently an intoxicated fan was looking for a little fame during the Fresno State v. Nevada game. At first, he seems like the star of the video, but watch the security guard steal the show.
