Raising Arizona

Arizona coach Mike Stoops believes in second chances. Former Texas receiver Dan Buckner is going to the University of Arizona to continue his collegiate football career. Buckner was dismissed from the Texas football program after being arrested on trespassing and resisting arrest charges on January 13th.

College Football’s Hypocrisy

In a college football world where we expect loyalty and commitment to teams from our student athletes, college football coaches are able to pick up and leave on a whim without any penalty. The double standard is glaring. This young off-season has seen more coaching twists from L.A. to Knoxville, than a One Tree Hill episode. Former Cincy coach Brian Kelly started the snowball effect which is now infull speed. Kelly had taken the Bearcats to a school best 12-0 season record and...

Don’t Call It A Comeback

He’s back. Not even six months removed from live saving re-constructive throat surgery, USC’s Stafon Johnson will take the field for the first time since his injury in the 2010 Senior Bowl. Johnson suffered a horrific injury on October 14th, 2009, as the result of a weight lifting accident in which his larynx was crushed and his vocal chord was detached.  Doctors said that if Johnson wasn’t in such peak physical shape, the accident could have killed him. Johnson hasn’t played...

Best To Sit For Cal’s Bowl Game

Cal’s star RB Jahvid Best will not play in the team’s Poinsetta Bowl game. Best suffered a frightening concussion in early November and hasn’t played a down of football since. This has been a disappointing end of the season for the one time Heisman hopeful. Before suffering the injury, Best had rushed for 864 yards and 16 TDs. This is probably the wisest move by Cal’s coaching staff. Best is a junior and has not yet mentioned his intentions...

2010 Rose Bowl

The 2010 Rose Bowl (Oregon vs. Ohio State) has Mr. Miles excited for all sorts of reasons. First and foremost, I would like to see nothing more than Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli get his bell rung one good time by the Buckeye‘s defense. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching Oregon and I’ve been impressed with the job that first year coach Chip Kelly has done. But if I have to watch Masoli jump around one more time after...
