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...
New Mexico coach Mike Locksley has tensions high in Albuquerque this season, and I’m not just talking about on the gridiron either. The first year head coach was issued a verbal reprimand after getting into a fight with his assistant coach. Locksley and WR coach J.B. Gerald had gotten riled up during a coaches meeting when Locksley grabbed Gerald’s collar and punched him the the mouth. Gerald told police what had happened and that Locksley had split his lip. New Mexico...

Say what you want about Conference -USA, but the Houston Cougars are kicking some tail and taking names. The Cougars beat Texas Tech 29-28 in a late-night thriller yesterday in Houston. Case Keenum led Houston to a 4th quarter surge that was enough to secure the victory. Head Coach Kevin Sumlin is in his second year as coach but he’s compiled a very impressive resume so far, not including yesterday’s win vs. Texas Tech, and a Sept. 26th road...
Baylor starting QB Robert Griffin will miss the rest of the season with an isolated tear in his knee.

Griffin went down during the first quarter of Baylor’s game after he was stopped on a fourth down play. Griffin had a phenomenal freshman campaign for the Bears last year and earned Big XII Offensive Player of the Year by the conference’s coaches....
In an act of poor sportsmanship, a Tennessee assistant coach rudely rips a sign out of fan’s hand.
Georgia fans are being asked by school officials to make a better effort to clean up after themselves following home football games. According to UGA president Michael Adams, tailgaters left behind 70 tons of trash following Georgia’s Sept. 12th game against South Carolina. That’s right, SEVENTY tons. Some fans even used the lawns as toilets by going both number 1 and 2 on campus grounds. That’s expected behavior for UGA VII, but certainly not for adults. These disgusting antics were met...
