As SC tries to salvage their disappointing 2009 campaign, there is some good news coming out of Los Angeles. WR Damian Williams, who missed the blowout loss to Stanford with an ankle sprain, has been practicing with the team and all signs are pointing to his return. Pete Carroll will not officially announce his status until later in the week when SC faces UCLA. The Trojans are in bad need of an offensive spark and Williams in the line-up...
For those of you who were sitting in the southwest end of Arizona Stadium on Saturday, you probably got a good shot of some idiot Arizona fan who tagged Oregon cheerleader Katelynn Johnson in the head with a bottle causing her to collapse. As a result, she suffered a concussion and was transported to a nearby hospital. After the game, Arizona coach Mike Stoops contacted Oregon’s AD to express his concerns over Johnson and called the incident “disturbing.” One...
At this point, details are still sketchy but word is coming out of South Bend that our golden boy Jimmy Clausen was in an altercation outside C.J.’s Pub late Saturday night after the double overtime loss to UConn.

If he had to do it again, coach said he wouldn’t have recruited...
The Big 10 regular season has just about come to an end but it certainly left an interesting dilemma for the BCS bowl committee. Basically, the Big 10 has three eligible teams for two BCS bids. Ohio State clinched the first bid with its automatic BCS Rose Bowl birth by winning the Big 10. This leaves Iowa and Penn State as the two remaining teams for one precious at-large birth. Iowa is currently ranked 11th and Penn State is ranked 13th after both completing their regular season...
For the Northeastern University fan faithful, it’s hard to say this, but the school is dropping its football program citing financial difficulties. After 74 years of gridiron battle, the bean counters cannot justify running the program as its just too expensive and there is not enough return on its investment. The Huskies just concluded a 3-8 season with a thrilling final victory over the Rhode Island Rams this past weekend. Unfortunately for the Huskies, this was their 6th consecutive losing season....
As Rich Rodriguez kicked off the 2009 season, all signs were pointing to the Wolverines climbing back to the promised land of elite status. However, after midway through the season, the Wolverines did a 180 and headed straight down for a crash landing and the fans are getting frustrated. In two seasons, RichRod has amassed an 8-15 (3-12 in the Big Ten) record. This is unacceptable for a program with such prestige, but don’t fret fans, RichRod is here...
This has been a rough season for The Matador going 5-5 on his weekly picks. It’s going to change as we inch closer to the regular season’s end. The lock of the week is Penn State (-3) over Michigan State. Penn State has all the drive in the world to win this game big. The Nittany Lions undeservedly have the opportunity to get a BCS at-large bid with a victory. Since Ohio State locked up the Rose Bowl, two...
