Virgina Tech football received a crushing blow this past week. No, no members of the football team were arrested, but rather, head coach Frank Beamer tore his bicep after falling while exiting Va. Tech’s private plane upon landing at a stop on the team’s Orange and Maroon tour. Beamer, ever the good sport, laughed off the incident: “It just chucked me,” said Beamer, laughing. “I thought I was being careful and the next thing that hit was my shoulder...
Things are getting a little hairy for the Beaver football team. Gas prices in Corvallis, Oregon, apparently are so high that folks are resorting to stealing golf carts for their mode of transportation. Brennan Olander, a 6’1, 276 lb. defensive tackle was arrested along with former Oregon State football players QB Lyle Moevao, and LB Keaton Kristick. The three men stole the golf cart from the Oregon State athletic offices and used it for three days before flipping it...
Phil Steele is arguably the most obsessive college football fan ever. Each summer, thousands of college football fans anxiously await for Steele’s College Football Preview magazine. This year’s edition is set to hit newsstands on June 8, 2010. Much to the delight of TCU fans, their heralded QB Andy Dalton will grace the cover of the Texas issue (Steele issues regional and national covers). TCU’s Dalton was the 2009 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year. He led the...
Head coach Bobby Petrino has a penchant for changing jobs frequently. In 2006, he up and left Louisville to coach the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Without even giving the Falcons one year, he bolted Atlanta and headed to Arkansas to take over Houston Nutt’s Razorbacks. Now there is question of whether or not Petrino is going to stick around Arkansas. Earlier today, Petrino’s 8,000 square foot 6 bedroom and 6 baths East Fayetteville mansion was on the market. This startled...
Former Penn State WR and NFL first round pick O.J. McDuffie has $11.5 million reasons to smile. The ex-Dolphin’s star WR won his medical malpractice lawsuit against former team doctor John Uribe after two weeks of trial. Back in 1999, McDuffie suffered a big toe injury. Though his MRI revealed he had a serious toe injury, Dr. Uribe (if I can still call him doctor) and other team doctors said the exam was inconclusive and the workhorse needed to go back...
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to deal with another off-the-field incident. This time Coach Dan Hawkins had no choice but to suspend one of his players for an unfortunate act. Junior LB Brandon Gouin was suspended from the team for providing alcohol to minors. What makes this story disturbing was he was supplying high school kids with booze. Apparently, Gouin purchased four kegs of Rolling Rock beer for the 200 or so students, one being his brother, attending Boulder High’s...
SC’s Matt Barkley is having his right hand reexamined today after injuring it in Saturday’s spring game. During the 3rd quarter, Barkley struck DT Jurrell Casey’s helmet on his follow through. As a precautionary measure, Barkley was immediately taken out of the game to rest and ice his injured hand. Sheriff Lane Kiffin was displeased with the injury and tossed Casey out of the game for his aggressive play. Though we do not know the extent of Barkley’s injury, it...
