With word spreading of Bush possibly being stripped of his 2005 Heisman Trophy and Coach Mack Brown advocating last week that the award should go to his former star QB, Vince Young’s mother is putting a stop to all the speculation. Felicia Young, an apparent PR rep for Vince, told Fox 26 in Houston that we don’t want it. “We’re not interested in having no honor and no glory out of somebody else they are trying to tear down, no,” Felicia...
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...
Maxpreps star and 6’8″ junior Connor Duffy from Kingsway Regional High School in South Jersey has a problem most teens never worry about, the size of his shoes. Duffy is in need of a new pair of cleats as the season opens on September 10th against Delsea. The problem is, the 300 pound brick wall wears size 22 canoes. No local cobbler sells anything bigger than size 18. The offensive lineman’s mother contacted Nike, Under Armor, Adidas, and every...

One team’s burden is another team’s treasure. Former Texas DB Marcus Davis has enrolled in classes at the University of Oregon and will more than likely be playing for the Ducks in 2011. Davis was suspended after being charged with possession of a controlled substance and driving while intoxicated in November of last year. He was never able to get back into the good graces of Texas coach Mack Brown and decided to transfer and take his chances elsewhere....
The Pac-10 has invited the Utah Utes to become the newest member of the future Pac-12, and sources are reporting that Utah will happily accept. Utah officals are holding a press conference tomorrow and Pac-10 officials will be in attendance. If you are a member of the Ute Nation this is undoubtedly great news. This move makes Utah an instant player in the BCS picture and gives the program national exposure. This bodes well for program revenue and recruiting, something that...
Texas RB Vondrell McGee has been suspended for one game with the possibility of more depending on the outcome of his pending DWI case. The 5’10 senior from Longview, Texas, was pulled over at 3:07 am Sunday morning by an Austin police officer who observed him driving without his headlights on. Upon being pulled over, McGee blew a 0.12, the legal limit in the state of Texas is 0.08. He was arrested on the scene and taken in on a...
Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez stole the headlines in the Huskers’ Red-White game on Saturday afternoon. The redshirt freshman QB filled in for injured starting QB Zac Lee. Lee underwent off-season elbow surgery on his throwing arm in early January which sidelined him for all of Nebraska’s spring practice. Husker faithful assumed that Lee would still have the starting job secured by the time of his return but it now looks as if a full blown QB competition is underway in Lincoln, NE....
