Carrying an impressive 3-1 record, the Maryland Terrapins will host ACC foe Duke this Saturday at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in College Park, MD. Saturday’s game against Duke will be Maryland’s first conference game of the season. Although the season is very young, the lack of a presence of a truly dominate team in the conference makes the race for the ACC seem wide open this year. Expectations in College Park, and among Maryland alumni are high for the Terps...
All eyes will be on Tuscaloosa, AL, this Saturday night when #7 Florida takes on #1 Alabama. There will be no shortage of storylines as these two schools’ bitter rivalry has become renewed over the past five seasons. The last time these two teams met was on December 5, 2009, in Atlanta, GA, for the SEC Championship game and a chance to play in the BCS National Championship. Alabama (#2) handily beat Florida (#1), 32-13, in route to their...
There is no denying the success that Coach Urban Meyer has brought to the University of Florida, but behind those sharp Nike Pro Combat Uniforms comes a world of bedlam. Since Meyer took over the reins in 2005, he amassed an impressive .851 winning percentage (57-10) and is a dominate 32-8 in SEC play bringing 2 BCS Championships and one Heisman trophy to Gainesville. What he also brought to the program was a failure to discipline and a failure...
The Florida Gators have enough problems with their on the field issues, but off the field is another story. Starting WR Chris Rainey may have not fully recovered from last weeks concussion as he did an incredibly stupid thing last night. He was arrested for aggravated stalking, a third-degree felony in Florida. The alleged victim is Chris Rainey’s ex-girlfriend of 3 years. The incident arose when Rainey’s ex, who happened to fall asleep, wasn’t answering any of his phone calls...
For those who will be in attendance for Saturday’s Florida game, please be advised that there will be tight security in light of the Rev. Terry Jones planning to burn copies of the Koran at his Gainesville church. This is Rev. Jones’ idiotic way of memorializing the 9th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks-he dubbed the international burn the Koran day. The Rev. Jones has already received over 100 death threats, but that does not seem to bother the narrow...
The first part of this Iowa news series received such a warm reception by Hawkeye Nation, hopefully part two promises more of the same. Apparently, Hawkeye football in Iowa is more popular than corn subsidies. Iowans from Sioux City to Waterloo either left comments or shot-off emails, sticking up for their head coach, with some using a few choice words to do so. Nonetheless, I would not expect any different from any true college football fan in coming to the aid and defense of their...
When the Florida Gators take the field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on September 4th against Miami Ohio, a new quarterback will lead the offense for the first time in three years. Gator legacy John Brantley will finally get his chance to etch his mark in the annals of Gator history. Brantley has one of college football’s toughest job in years, replacing all-everything Gator and college football legend, Tim Tebow. If the past is any indicator of the future, Gator fans...
Three years removed from winning his first and only BCS National Championship, LSU skipper Les Miles could be entering his last season as head coach of the Tigers. Miles assumed head coaching duties on January 3, 2005, when current Alabama head coach Nick Saban bolted Baton Rouge to try his hand in the NFL. Miles got off to a red-hot start by going 11-2 in his first season as head coach and earned a trip to Atlanta to represent...
