Anthony “A.J.” Graham was almost certain to never see the college gridiron after his May 26th arrest for armed robbery of three men on their way to a party. Not only did Marshall rescind Graham’s scholarship, but he was looking down the barrel of a 10 year to life prison sentence. His trial was originally scheduled for October 19th; however, Assistant State Attorney Fuchs did not have enough evidence to proceed with the case and Graham had a strong...
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to take hits. This time, WR Markques Simas (So. 6’2, 215 lbs.) has been suspended by the team. Simas is quick with great hands. He is projected to be the go-to guy this season as the WR position is extremely thin and inexperienced. Coach Dan Hawkins states the suspension is for violation of team rules. As of now, Simas will miss the first two games of the season against in-state rival Colorado State and then...
The Texas Longhorns are opening up camp today without two strong reserve players due to injuries. RDT Michael “The Big Cat” Wilcoxon (So. 6’3, 285 lbs.) from Aledo, Texas, who played in only 6 games last season has continuous chronic medical issues and is no longer able to suit up. He was projected to back of Kheeston Randall (So. 6’5, 275 lbs.). TE Josh Marshall (So. 6’4, 235 lbs.), who missed all of last season with shoulder injury, is...
DePauw, not to be confused with DePaul, is looking for a new head coach. The Tigers’ Matt Walker decided to hang-up his whistle and resigned as head football coach this past Friday.

Robby Long has been named interim head football coach, but no successor was named to coach the baseball team. DePauw was 8-2 last season and ended the year winning its...
Ole Miss is back at it again. Top recruit and signee Darius “Tig” Barksdale (6’0, 190 lbs.) was arrested for DUI and driving without a license yesterday morning (August 6th) in Batesville, Mississippi. He was initially pulled over when the Batesville police were searching for a stolen vehicle. When pulled over, the police automatically smelled the alcohol permeating through the Mississippi air. When asked about the vehicle, he claimed he was borrowing his friend’s car. Not satisfied with the answer and with the detection of...
Yesterday, Houston Coach Kevin Sumlin reported for duty as the Houston Cougars officially began its 2009 season. Last season, Houston was 8-5, this season they are gunning for the C-USA championship. The team can get there because of one person, QB Case Keenum. By season’s end, gun-slinger Keenum will be a household name outside of Houston. He led the nation in offense with 5,241 yards; 2nd in passing with 5020 yards; and, third in passing TDs with 44....
Appalachian State‘s QB Aramanti Edwards was a blade away from winning the coveted Darwin Award. Edwards, who was mowing his lawn at his off-campus residence, somehow got his right foot caught in the mower causing injuries. He was immediately treated and released from Watauga Medical Center. The injury is not life threatening but will require him to stay off his foot and miss two to four weeks of practice. Coach Jerry Moore is hopeful that Edwards will have fully recovered...
The Gainsville Sun reports this morning that the University will ban smoking throughout the campus next July. However, the ban comes early for Ben Hill Griffen Stadium and its fans. There will be absolutely no smoking at any athletic facility come this season. As one overly confident fan proclaims, “the only smoking will be Florida smoking its opponents!”
