Maxpreps star and 6’8″ junior Connor Duffy from Kingsway Regional High School in South Jersey has a problem most teens never worry about, the size of his shoes. Duffy is in need of a new pair of cleats as the season opens on September 10th against Delsea. The problem is, the 300 pound brick wall wears size 22 canoes. No local cobbler sells anything bigger than size 18. The offensive lineman’s mother contacted Nike, Under Armor, Adidas, and every...
There is a lot of hype over in Boise that the Broncos will be in the national championship mix come season’s end. Unfortunately, hype is not real and neither is Boise State’s shot at traveling to Glendale, Arizona in January. All the prognosticators have Boise State ranked up there with Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, but you should think otherwise. There is no denying the Broncos’ recent success as Chris Petersen has led the Blue and Orange to a...
As Nebraska prepares for its last season in the Big 12, head coach Bo Pelini is keeping a tight wrap around the progress of preseason. To limit distractions, yesterday Pelini announced that practices will be closed to the media until the weekend. He did not give any particular reason but one can suspect he wants to exit the conference with a bang and doesn’t want the next couple of days leaked to the public. He also suggested that he was...
It’s time for Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema to make a move or to move on. Ever since the Iowa grad took over for Barry Alvarez, his Badger teams have been derailed from any major bowl or conference title. In his first season, he came out strong with a 12-1 record and won the Capital One Bowl 17-14 over Arkansas (’06). Wisconsin figured they landed a gem for a head coach, but his highly regarded teams quickly faltered (9 wins in ’07...
Former Clemson QB Willy Korn transferred to Marshall with the hopes of competing for the starting job. However, after 10 days of practice coach Doc Holliday decided to move the triggerman to safety. The position switch came to a shock to Korn who played exceptionally well during preseason practice protecting the ball and throwing accurately. Korn was displeased with the move and decided it was best to find a new home where he would have a shot at fulfilling...
UConn defensive end Marcus Campbell is out for the season after tearing his ACL in practice this weekend. This is a major setback for the talented DE who missed the entire 2009 season because of academic reasons. When Campbell first arrived in Storrs, he had a promising ’07-’08 campaign amassing 24 tackles, 2 sacks, and 4.5 tackles for a loss. The end was supposed to anchor the Huskies defense in 2010 as he had a strong spring practice and...
As preseason football comes to full swing in Stillwater, Coach Mike Gundy is easing the noose around the neck of Victor Johnson. Despite being charged last month with driving while intoxicated and then possession of marijuana, Coach Gundy is allowing his free safety to return to the field in a limited capacity. The Waco, Texas native was not expected to see the field until the disposition of his criminal cases. However, after the loss of safety Daytawion Lowe and...
There is much debate as to who is the best team in the nation, but there is absolutely no controversy when labeling the worst team in the BCS. This illustrious honor goes to the Washington State Cougars. Folks over at Pullman were blanketed in conference play last year and haven’t won a road game since George Bush was in office. Thank the lord Jesus they did manage one win last season in an OT miracle over Southern Methodist University....
