As easy as it was to be a Trojan fan during the Reggie Bush days, the true loyalists are being put to the test. Last night, USC got trounced by Oregon State 36-7. To make matters work, the Trojans’ beloved starter QB Matt Barkley injured his left ankle on the final offensive play of the first half for the Trojans. He was helped off the field, but eventually was carted to the locker room and was deemed finished for...
Former Hawaii QB Colt Brennan was seriously injured today in a motor vehicle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Next year’s Chick-fil-A kickoff game will feature Boise State and Georgia. The two teams agreed terms to play in Atlanta on September 3, 2011. The game will be Boise’s second season-opener that the team will play on the road. Boise faced Virgina Tech earlier this season at Landover, MD’s, FedEx Field. Boise was originally scheduled to travel to Oxford, MS, to play the Ole Miss Rebels, but dropped them from the schedule for Georgia. The two schools rescheduled their meeting for the...
Arizona State’s Dennis Erickson will remain the head coach of the Sun Devils next season. When asked about Erickson’s future at ASU on Arizona’s 620 KTAR, school athletic director Lisa Love gave him a strong vote of confidence. “I still support Dennis Erickson you bet I do. You’ve got to allow someone to go through the entire process. I’m impressed, by the way, with the process, the recruiting roster, the level of talent and the stable of redshirts we...
Because watching Illinois and Northwestern play at historical Wrigley Field isn’t interesting enough, it looks like the powers-that-be are adding an additional twist to the game by utilizing only one end zone. Since a football field really isn’t designed to fit inside a baseball field, there is some safety concerns at Wrigley’s east end zone. The end zone in question is only feet away from the heavily padded right field wall which presents a potential hazard for players. Being this...
The hits just keep on coming for UCLA. During the 3rd quarter of last night’s loss to conference foe Washington, UCLA’s QB Richard Brehaut was leveled by safety Nate Williams after Brehaut was coming in for a slide. The play resulted in a helmet-to-helmet personal foul, but more importantly it ended the night for Brehaut. Brehuat tried to continue but he was suffering from concussion like symptoms that caused the team doctor to bench the dazed QB and forced Rick...
We all love Joe Paterno, I mean who doesn’t? But it’s kind of absurd and not to mention a waste of monumental time and money, that the U.S. House of Representatives will yield precious time out of their busy schedule to pass a resolution congratulating Penn State football Coach Joe Paterno on his 400th victory. The interesting part of H RES 1715 was not the speech but rather the vote. The final tally was 417-3. The question remains, who are...
