Watching a college football game at Notre Dame Stadium is a must for any college football fan. The stadium is rich in tradition and filled with pageantry. From the Irish Guard to the fans dancing an Irish jig when the band plays “Rakes of Mallow,” Notre Dame Stadium is more of an experience than anything else. However, the 80,795 fans are not necessarily the loudest in the country and ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick wants that to change—specifically in...
During a radio interview, former Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor told Pittsburgh’s SportsRadio 93.7 The Fan that he feels badly about the current state of the Buckeyes.

Tennessee’s bowl hopes (3-2) took a hit this weekend after QB Tyler Bray suffered a broken right thumb in Saturday’s loss to SEC rival Georgia 20-12. Bray broke his thumb late in the fourth quarter when his hand hit a defender’s helmet during a throw. Bray’s injury will sideline the gunslinger for at least six-weeks creating a void at the quarterback position. The Volunteers, who have yet to win a conference game, will miss Bray’s stellar services as he...

During the fourth quarter of the Oregon Ducks conference game against Cal, RB LaMichael James suffered a gruesome elbow fracture as he tried to recover a goal line fumble early in the fourth quarter. The picture isn’t pretty and his elbow is certainly bent in a horrific way but James popped it back in while on the field. James did say that he suffered the exact same injury in high school and played the next week. He is confident in...
It is no wonder freshman running back Colin Ferring has yet to see playing time on the field or was not recruited by a BCS school—he has no speed or agility. This past weekend the freshman Waukon native decided to get drunk and make bad decisions. After a hard night of drinking, Ferring scampered onto campus and stole a Coe College utility vehicle. As Ferring and five of his cohorts were joyriding in the stolen John Deere Gator, police officers initiated a routine...
