Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach has been suspended by the university and will not coach the Red Raiders in their Alamo Bowl match-up against Michigan State amid accusations that Leach abused Tech WR Adam James. A source close to the family said James sustained a concussion on Dec. 16, was examined on Dec. 17 and told not to practice due to a concussion and an elevated heart rate. The source said Leach called a trainer and directed him...
Ndamukong Suh is the first defensive player to win AP Player of the Year Honors. The beast of a defensive end from Nebraska edged out Stanford’s Toby Gerhart for the award. Suh has been a dominant force throughout the year and he put on a Heisman worthy performance in the Big XII championship game against Texas. Suh led the ‘Huskers with 12 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks and was invited to New York as a Heisman finalist as a...
Not only is Mack Brown headed to Pasadena for the 2010 BCS National Championship, he’s also just been made the highest paid D1 college football coach. Texas awarded Brown with a $2 million dollar raise fresh after a Big XII championship win over Nebraska. Brown will be receiving $5M anually for the rest of his time at Texas. Life is good for Brown these days. $5 mil in Austin, Texas is like a fridge full of food in Somalia,...
Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford will not play this Saturday against conference foe Kansas. Bradford, who has already missed three games this season, aggravated his already sprained shoulder during the first quarter of last Saturday’s Red River Shootout. Bradford left the game after the injury and never returned to action. No timetable is set for Bradford’s return but he’s expected to see several doctors this week and get opinions of the injury. This season has been very unfortunate for Bradford as...

Reynolds will not hear back from the NCAA until after the season is over, but optimism abounds in Norman. Former OU QB received a medical hardship after sustaining the same injury and missing around the same amount of time as Reynolds. Reynolds has...
Florida’s Tim Tebow may not be the only concussed QB to sit out on Saturday. Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts suffered a concussion last week in Tech’s game against New Mexico which earned him an overnight stay in a Lubbock hospital. Unlike the secrecy surrounding Tebow, TT coach Mike Leach has made it know that Potts will sit this week as a precautionary measure. TT will turn to former walk-on Steven Sheffield to lead the offense. Sheffield come off the...
Oklahoma’s season hasn’t quite gone as planned. It’s only the fifth week of the season and they’ve been without their Heisman Trophy winner QB since week 1, their All-American TE’s season has been cut short because of injury, and now they’re going to be without their leading WR for possibly a month. Ryan Broyles suffered a fractured shoulder blade early in OU’s Saturday night primetime showdown with Miami, and he’s going to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks. Throw in...
Texas Texas coach Mike Leach is making some changes in Lubbock. No, Texas Tech isn’t making coaching adjustment on the football field, but rather with his players’s twitter accounts. Leach has banned members of the Red Raider football team from twittering. The change in his policy comes after TT linebacker Marlon Williams twitted that he wondered why he was expected to be on time for a team meeting when his linebacker coach himself was running late. Leach and company...
