Buffalo’s all-time leading rusher James Starks‘ career is over for the Bulls. The senior Doak Walker candidate RB suffered a labral tear in his shoulder that will require season ending surgery. This is not only disheartening for Buffalo fans but for fans of college football alike.

The NCAA is at it again. The almighty organization is investigating whether or not a chartered fishing trip made by ‘Bama football players, Julio Jones and RB Mark Ingram, was in violation since it was paid for by Athens, GA business owner, Curtis Anderson.

Georgia coach Mark Richt said, “Richard is playing with a lot of energy, good stamina, and he goes hard,” Richt said Friday. “We hope...
Troy defensive back Jorrick Calvin has been ruled academically ineligible for the 2009 football season. Calvin was a solid and consistent contributor on last season’s Sun Belt conference championship team. The senior JUCO transfer accumulated 76 tackles and scored two touchdowns on special teams. He also intercepted two passes, recovered three fumbles, and had nine pass break-ups. The loss of his presence on defense will definitely be felt. Unless Calvin is able to win an unlikely appeal, he will be watching Troy’s games from a distance.
