QB Denard Robinson, who sprained his right throwing shoulder during a 38-28 loss to Iowa this Saturday, is expected to be healthy for the Wolverines when they face Penn State on October 30th. Coach Rich Rodriguez confirmed that there is no QB controversy and Robinson is still the starter and will play if healthy. For Michigan fans, this may not be a good thing with Michigan 0-2 in conference play. When the shifty Robinson went down early in the 3rd...
When head coach Tim Brewster arrived at Minnesota back in 2007 to replace Glen Mason, Gopher fans had high expectations and even set their eyes on the Rose Bowl. However, Brewster’s brief tenure at Minnesota was far from rosy. In 4 seasons, Brewster went a disappointing 15-30 with a paltry 6-21 record in Big Ten play. Last Saturday, the Gophers lost 28-17 to Purdue marking the sixth straight defeat for Brewster and company. Minnesota had enough and cut bait by...
The first half of the season has been a blink of an eye for most programs; however, it has been a drawn-out yawner for Nittany Lions fans. With a sputtering offense (ranked 107th in scoring) and virtually no ground game (ranked 85th in rushing), the Nittany Lions are welcoming a much needed bye week. After opening the first half of the season with a disappointing 3-3 record and posting its first consecutive 20 point losses since the 1980’s, there...
Sadly, Iowa defensive coordinator Norm Parker had his right foot amputated last month due to complications from his battle with diabetes. Though he has been hospitalized since September, head coach Kirk Ferentz is anxiously waiting for Parker’s return to spur an Iowa defensive that ranks 4th in the nation allowing only 242.2 yards per game. Ferentz is more than confident that Parker will be back coaching prior to the end of the season and Parker wants nothing more but to...
As evidenced last night during MNF, shag-a-licous Tom Brady hates Michigan State. The former Wolverine, who lead the Patriots to a dominating 41-14 rout over the Dolphins, did not want back-up Brian Hoyerto see any substantive playing time despite the Patriots sealing the victory midway through the 4th quarter late last night. Hoyer, one of Sparty’s QB career leaders in several offensive categories, was itching for playing time, but after every Miami possession change, Brady trotted back on the...
Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio must really want to beat the #11 Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday. After being hospitalized following a mild heart attack on September 19th, the head coach doesn’t want to miss a beat despite better judgment. He is expected to be coaching the team from the press box as the undefeated Spartans (4-0) open Big Ten conference play this Saturday. Dantonio, 54, stated, “I’m going to ease back into this much like anybody would after any injury.”...
Michigan State Spartans TE Dion Sims is staring down the barrel of felony burglary charges for his involvement of a crime ring that netted over $158,000.00 from the sale of stolen laptop computers. According to Wayne County prosecutors, the Detroit native is accused of receiving and concealing stolen property, a felony that is punishable up to 10 years. Sims, 19, and at least 9 other individuals (not football players) allegedly stole over 104 laptop computers and then sold them...
Iowa suffered two losses this past Saturday in Tucson, Arizona. As if losing 31-24 to the Arizona Wildcats wasn’t enough, the Hawkeyes also lost starting RB Jewel Hampton for the rest of the season, after he tore his ACL in the second half. With only one other bonafied RB on the roster in Adam Robinson, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz is scrambling to find replacements: “We’ve got Adam, and anyone else that wants to volunteer.” Hampton’s career at Iowa has...
