It pays to Discover

In a world of financial disarray and questionable banking practices, Discover Financial Services has agreed to be the title sponsor of the former FedEx Orange Bowl in hopes of raising brand recognition. The named sponsorship will last through 2014 and will include the 2013 BCS National Championship Game. As it stands, Discover’s market share in the credit industry is stuck in single digits, but with millions of college football fans hooked on the bowl season, Discover hopes to make a windfall. The new...

Pouncey to freshman: “shut up and play”

In a post practice interview, Florida’s OL Mike Pouncey, in a jokingly but spirited way, displayed his fondness of arrogant freshman. In perhaps a motivational tool, he is asking the freshman to zip their mouths and show why they were the top class when they take the field. This year’s recruiting class was arguably #1 in the nation, and with that title, there comes a bit of unwarranted cockiness. As Pouncey pointed out in his interview, all the freshman may have been...

Corp, who is no stranger to QB battles, ousted sophomore John Laub in a tremendous QB competition. Corp, a red-shirt junior, transferred to Richmond after two seasons under Pete Carroll. It was anticipated that Corp would be the starter come 2009, but then-freshman Matt Barkley beat out Corp (who suffered a leg injury during preseason)....

Evan Royster: PSU’s dark horse Heisman candidate

Penn State’s Evan Royster passed up on the NFL draft to play one more season under legendary coach Joe Paterno. The senior tailback returns to the Nittany Lions as the most dangerous weapon on offense. The 6’1”, 213 pound speedster and visionary amassed 2,918 yards in just 3 years and is only 481 yards shy of breaking Curt Warner’s (3,398 yards) school record. As the senior leader puts on the pads one final time, he has a legitimate shot...

Buffs opt for QB Hansen over Hawkins’ son

In a long-overdue move, Colorado Coach Dan Hawkins finally demoted his son and former starter Cody Hawkins to 2nd string.

There is promise in the offense as ND is absolutely stacked and loaded at the...

Gamecocks Probed

When Steve Spurrier isn’t taking jabs at Tennessee, he is busy figuring out how to deal with the NCAA breathing down his team’s back. Last night, it looks like the remaining South Carolina football players who were residing in meager accommodations were told to settle their bills, if any, and move out of the Whitney Hotel. Since the coach’s stern directive, several players were seen packing their bags and moving out of the posh Columbia roadhouse. The Whitney is known...
