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...
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...

Florida’s Tim Tebow may not be the only concussed QB to sit out on Saturday. Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts suffered a concussion last week in Tech’s game against New Mexico which earned him an overnight stay in a Lubbock hospital.

TT will turn to former walk-on Steven Sheffield to lead the offense. Sheffield come off the...
A top back-up in Florida’s offensive line rotation went down hard during Tuesday’s practice. It looks like OT Matt Patchan in done for the season after tearing his ACL during non-contract drills on Tuesday. Patchan is no stranger to injuries as he suffered a leg injury late last season causing him to miss the last three games of the season. Patchan will obviously have surgery to repair the tear, but his football playing days remain questionable. Additionally, this will be...
Jacksonville.com reports that Florida consistently refuses to play stronger out of conference teams unlike other SEC powerhouses. For example, in 2005, Arkansas played at SoCal and Tennessee played at Cal in 2007 and then at UCLA in 2008. Georgia took the long distance flight to Arizona State last season and this season LSU traveled to Washington. Next season, Alabama is playing a home-and-home against Big 10 powerhouse Penn State. SEC schools are scheduling difficult non-conference BCS opponents, but it...

The severity of the injury is unknown at this point but Debose is scheduled to undergo an MRI which will give the medical staff and coaches of where...
It’s nice to see that 4 out of the top 10 biggest stadiums in the world are college football stadiums- 3 hail from the Big Ten. Aaron Corp is back on the field. The true fan is why we all love college football. In a cost cutting effort, the Pac-10 wants to prohibit schools from housing teams in hotels the night before the game. Tour the Big House. Ex-Husker Castille to play for Northwestern State. Leave your smokes at home and to you...
