Redemption comes for Auburn’s Newton

After his arrest in Gainesville, FL, in November 2008 on charges in connection with a stolen laptop, Cam Newton’s career as a Division 1 athlete seemed to come to an end. As the legal system played its course, it was learned that Newton had indeed purchased the laptop from a seller he believed was legitimate. However, with his name and reputation tarnished, Newton and his family decided it best to part ways with the University of Florida and transfer from the school. In January 2009, Netwon enrolled at Blinn...

Is Kirk Ferentz the most overrated coach in college football? Pt. 2

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...

A Michigan legend steps down

A Michigan legend is stepping down from the Wolverines’ front office. Lloyd Carr announced yesterday that  he is retiring as the school’s athletic director effective September 1, 2010. Carr put in over 30 years of service in Ann Arbor, but was most notably recognized for his success as a head coach winning five Big 10 titles and one national championship (’97). He compiled a 122-40 record during his tenure. In 2008, after a thrilling Capital One Bowl victory over the...

It’s win or go home for Rich Rodriguez

The single hottest coaching seat in college football burns in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Head coach Rich Rodriguez enters his 3rd and perhaps final season as the Maize and Blue commander-in-chief. Unfortunately, it has not been all glitz and glamour for a coach who took the West Virginia Mountaineers to their greatest success in school history. If the 2009 season is any indication of what is to come, Rodriguez better pack his bags and update his resume. Last season, he...

The Cardinals nab top recruit Damer Dorsey who was unable to gain admittance to the University of Michigan

Dorsey agreed and signed a letter of intent with U of...

Increase the Peace

Not much is going on around the college football world except for Michigan being out of compliance with NCAA rules, Oregon dealing with another potential player loss, and Derek Dooley making bank as Tennessee’s new coach. With that being said, it looks like I’ve found the perfect tool for USC (the university of spoiled children) to lure recruits to Tinseltown. We have all been intrigued by National Geographic’s documentaries on gang life and prison life, but now you can...

Mallett breaks foot, will miss spring practice

QB Ryan Mallett’s road to gridiron fame just hit another bump. This time, a broken bone in his left foot is sidelining the gunslinger during spring practice. As a top prospect in 2007, Mallett was supposed to shine for Michigan’s Lloyd Carr and did show signs of greatness while backing up then future NFLer Chad Henne. However, after Carr retired and Rich Rodriguez stepped in and introduced his spread offense to the maize and blue, Mallett quickly left the...
