The unemployment rate in Louisville just increased by one today as Louisville fired head coach Steve Kragthorpe. This should come as no surprise seeing how Louisville finished the season with a 4-8 record after taking a beating against Rutgers 34-14 this past weekend. Kragthorpe lead the team to its worst season in over a decade and had a paltry 15-21 record in his three seasons after taking control upon the departure of Bobby Petrino in 2007. Kragthorpe may not...
The Matador is considering changing this site to the Vols’ police blotter as Tennessee continues to deal with its delinquent players. Another star 2009 recruit fell on the wrong side of the law and was arrested for shoplifting before the Memphis game. Freshman defensive back Nyshier Oliver rounds up the forth criminal (for the month of November) on Kiffin’s team roster (you already know about the other three convicts). Now everyone has pregame rituals. For example, I like to wear the same socks from my...
Our legal montra is pretty simple: innocent until proven guilty. I guess this did not apply to the Vols’ Nu’Keese Richardson and Mike Edwards who were both permanently dismissed from the team for their attempted armed robbery charges. Meanwhile, safety Janzen Jackson is barred from team activities while the school awaits further information. This is by no way saying the players were not involved in any incident, but at the very least the players should all be treated like...
Nu’Keese Richardson was a top prospect recruited by the nation’s elite programs. He was wined and dined, and given everything a top recruit should receive during his recruiting heyday. It seems though, the same suitors that went after Richardson aren’t doing much to help him out as he was sitting behind bars since Thursday for his arrest for attempted armed robbery. After a lengthy delay and much after DB Mike Edwards and Safety Janzen Jackson were released, Richardson was...
Lane Kiffin will need to keep his mouth shut from this point on after three of his freshman players were arrested for attempted armed robbery this morning. The three players who found themselves handcuffed were top recruit wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson, starting safety Janzen Jackson and defensive back Mike Edwards. Also along for the ride was Marie Montmarquet (not affiliated with the program). The accused were stalking their pray at a Pilot gas station on the Strip near Tennessee’s...
Everyone knows about Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy being the front-runners in this years Heisman race, but Alabama’s Mark Ingram has quietly compiled some impressive stats for the #1 ranked Crimson Tide. The 5’10, 212 lb. sophomore from Flint, MI, already has 905 yards and 8 touchdowns. He has also caught 3 passes out of the backfield for touchdowns. Ingram garnered SEC offensive player of the week honors after torching South Carolina’s defense for 246 yards on the ground and a...
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Georgia RB Caleb King fractured his jaw and suffered a concussion in last Saturday’s loss to the LSU Tigers. At first, the severity of his injury was either not known or overlooked as King continued to play after taking the injury causing hit. In fact, coach Mark Richt will play King this Saturday against Tennessee if he gets a medical clearance. Both Richt and Meyer (Meyer wants Tebow to play against LSU) are anxious...
In an act of poor sportsmanship, a Tennessee assistant coach rudely rips a sign out of fan’s hand.
