Chip Kelly is still mum on the reinstatement of Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount. As you recall, Blount in an act of stupidity and cowardliness, was suspended on opening night after sucker punching Boise State’s DE Byron Hout. Initially, Blount received a season long suspensions, but now that Oregon is starting to gel and is inching its way towards a BCS birth, Kelly is rethinking the severity of the suspension. The reality of the situation is quite simple, if Oregon was...
Wake Forest has to regroup after a heartbreaking loss to Miami 27-28 this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they will have to regroup without the services of QB Riley Skinner. Skinner’s status remains to be seen after suffering a mild concussion late in the Miami game. Here is what the school had to say: Skinner left the game after a hard hit along the Wake Forest sideline with 6:22 remaining in the game and the Demon Deacons holding a 27-21 lead...
UConn’s woes continue. Not only did the team suffer a loss against Rutgers on Saturday, but starting QB Cody Endres suffered a season ending shoulder injury in the first quarter similar to that of Sam Bradford’s. Endres had surgery this morning to repair his damaged shoulder and will shortly begin his road to recovery. Now that Endres is out, it looks like QB Zach Frazer, who lost the starting job when he suffered a knee injury earlier in the...
Amidst all the internet rumors, it has been verified that as of now, Layla Kiffin will not be posing for the famed SI Swimsuit edition. There was a lot a buzz on the internet pointing to the contrary, but Layla did confirm she is not posing and has not even been approached by SI. It’s a shame because Layla would have made a nice cover girl and it’s clear her fan base wants to see what Layla has to...
If there is ever a scenario where losing is the best bet, well here it is. This weekend, San Jose State faces conference rival Boise State. Of course all the San Jose State fans and the rest of the college football world want to see the Spartans upset the Broncos, but I’m not so sure the Spartans’ AD wants that. If San Jose upsets the Broncos, it is an absolute certainty Boise State will not go to a BCS...
It’s week 8 and The Matador is 4-3 on his weekly picks. Last weekend, Penn State was a huge victor over the slumping Wolverines. This week’s lock should provide the same financial reward. Florida State (-7.0) will cover easily over NC State. The Wolfpack (3-4) have lost their last two games to Duke and BC by an average of 26.5 points. Meanwhile, the ‘Noles have the #1 offense in the ACC and Ponder is putting up Heisman type numbers...
Before you ever consider getting a tat, The Matador urges you to really think twice before you get this everlasting artwork. It is unfortunate that Boston College’s RB sophomore Josh Haden didn’t live by my words of wisdom. Haden was a highly touted recruit from Fort Washington, MD (if you recognize his name, it’s because his brother Joe Haden is a star CB at top-ranked Florida). After a long drawn out recruitment process, he selected BC and showed off his...
