The Citadel is generally known for producing distinguished alumni, not harden criminals. This past weekend QB Miguel Starks was charged (along with three others) in connection with an armed robbery in Charleston, South Carolina. Starks, who is only 19 and hails from Atlanta, Georgia, and former teammate LB Reginald Rice, 22, were charged with armed robbery, first degree burglary, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. The twist in this story is that...
We all know everything is bigger and better in Texas and it’s easy to forget that big mouths also come from the South. Texas’ star recruit, Taylor Bible who is still in high school and is actually known to be more of the quiet type, vowed that the Longhorns will win the next four Red River Shootouts and four BCS Titles. That is quite a big prediction for the 6’3 278 pound defensive lineman who plans on enrolling this...
Clemson fans should be a bit concerned heading into spring practice regarding who will take snaps under center. QB Kyle Parker, who led the Tigers to their first ACC title game, may have thrown his last TD pass. Parker is now focusing on baseball as he is a standout outfielder on a team who is ranked as high as #15 in some preseason polls. Currently, Parker is in his third season with the school’s baseball team. Some speculate he...
It’s Friday and the Northeast is getting blanketed by snow and gale force winds. So to all my faithfuls in NYC who trekked into work this morning, today’s links are especially for you. First off, you can rest easy. Former Georgia Bulldog great Knowshon Moreno is cleared from charges for allegedley sucker punching an 18 year old this past Saturday night at the Bourbon Street bar in Athens, Georgia. In the purest form of patriotism, bravery, and unselfishness, Oregon State’s LB David Pa’aluhi is trading...
College football is no doubt a violent game. During the season, there seems to be an injury every week and the most notable injury is the concussion. The good news is the concussion rate seems to be leveling off. The Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention has published its recent findings to prove this point. The study found that the concussion rate dropped from 3.4 per 1,000 football players in 2004 to 2.4 in 2005 and between...
Not much is going on around the college football world except for Michigan being out of compliance with NCAA rules, Oregon dealing with another potential player loss, and Derek Dooley making bank as Tennessee’s new coach. With that being said, it looks like I’ve found the perfect tool for USC (the university of spoiled children) to lure recruits to Tinseltown. We have all been intrigued by National Geographic’s documentaries on gang life and prison life, but now you can...
The buzz around Hollywood, or should I say Allendale, Michigan, is that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is trading in his mic and Kevlar for shoulder pads and cleats. That’s right, 50 Cent is returning to the big screen as a college football player. 50 Cent’s new feature, Things Fall Apart, will be a movie surrounded by his character, a star senior running back, who has been diagnosed with cancer. It has been rumored that 50 Cent is shedding over 65 pounds to portray the cancer laden back....
