Naval Academy torpedoes star back

The service academies clearly play by a different set of standards when it comes to player discipline. Navy’s head coach Ken Niumatalolo dismissed slotback Marcus Curry from the team for violation of team rules. Though Niumatalolo didn’t provide exact details of Curry’s dismissal, his dismissal was linked to his poor academic history, demerits, and most recently his drug use. Earlier this year, Curry violated the school’s drug policy when he tested positive for a controlled substance. Though the official...

Now there is question of whether or not Petrino is going to stick around Arkansas. Earlier today, Petrino’s 8,000 square foot 6 bedroom and 6 baths East Fayetteville mansion was on the market.

To be Blount, a Titan?

In 2009, Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount was set to take the stage at running back for the Ducks and was predicted by experts to be a 2nd, or at worst, a 3rd round draft pick in the 2010 NFL draft.

Blount was immediately suspended from the team and did not return until late in the season and only on...
