The Matador is a bit perplexed why the media is all over the Michigan punch. If you haven’t seen the video yet, please watch. I’m positive you will not see any punch at first glance. The media is trying to hype this up as the second coming of the Blount Punch. The Matador is trying to cool it down. Rodriguez’s comment on Jonas Mouton’s alleged punch was quite simple, basically he didn’t see LB Mouton punch ND’s Eric Olsen. In...
First, Quentin Castille was dismissed for violating team rules, now, Nebraska RB Collins Okafor has decided to part ways from the program. On Wednesday, coach Bo Pelini informed the media that Okafor left the team on his own accord. It is presumed, that Okafor left because he was deep in the depth chart behind junior fan favorite Roy Helu an frosh sensation Rex Burkhead. Okafor did not speak of his intentions, but for Pelini, this is his second back...
Dr. Bob takes a look at the Georgia Tech v. Miami match-up: Miami has had some time to come down from the high of their thrilling 38-34 win at Florida State on opening week and the Hurricanes’ sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris looks like he’s made huge strides as a passer based on his 21 for 34 for 386 yards performance in that win. Harris could post some good number tonight too against a questionable Georgia Tech secondary that was...
First, Lopina gets demoted straight to the bench. Now, star wide receiver Jeshua Anderson is trading in his football cleats for his track spikes. Anderson was one of the bright spots on the somewhat anemic Cougars’ offense. Anderson boasted 4 receptions for 66 yards. Not Heisman material, but something Wulff could work with. The good news is, you haven’t heard or seen the last of Anderson. Anderson is no Usain Bolt, but the junior is a two time NCAA...
The Matador is sad to report that NCAA president Myles Brand has passed away at age 67 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Our deepest condolences to the Brand family.
Head Coach Dan Mullen just announced he is reinstating JUCO transfer DE Maurice Langston just in time for the road game against Vanderbilt. If you don’t recall, Langston was suspended for a February arrest for possession of a controlled substance, marijuana (one pound to be exact), with the intent to distribute. Rather than a long drown out criminal suit, the State and Langston reached a plea agreement in which Langston was sentenced to five years probation for misdemeanor possession...
Spectators at USF home football games this season will notice a larger than normal law enforcement presence. No, there’s no free donut promotion for USF football game attendees. Rather, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, the Tampa Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, all will be working in sweet harmony to ensure that underage spectators are not partaking in any drinking festivities or having someone else purchase the refreshment for them. Oh yea, forget the fake IDs too...
