Halloween is being celebrated a little earlier in State College, Pennsylvania. As Penn State is gearing up for the Michigan Wolverines, the coaching staff provided scout-team QB/WR Evan Lewis with some fake long dreads to help further mimic and simulate Michigan QB Denard Robinson. Some PSU players got a chuckle out of Lewis’s new hair-do, but after watching some videotape and Lewis in action, the defense is not laughing one bit at Robinson’s shiftiness and blazing speed. Robinson leads...
Fayetteville faithful may be without defensive tackle DeQuinta “D.D.” Jones this Saturday as Arkansas hosts Vanderbilt in a conference showdown with significant bowl implications for the Razorbacks. Jones was arrested earlier today and charged with marijuana possession. Fayetteville police pulled over Jones at 12:37 a.m. for failing to have vehicle license lights.

If you can’t beat ‘em, sue ‘em. At least that is the approach taken by a former Rice University football player. On Monday, The Owls’ Joseph Agnew sued the NCAA over its policy of limiting athletic scholarships to one-year renewable rewards. The background is quite simple.

When you are about to be executed for committing a heinous crime, the State generally grants you a few last requests most particularly with food and last words. Some people choose ribs smothered with onions, others go for a six pack of Dr. Pepper, but for this man, Jeffrey Landrigan, who was executed last night in Arizona for the brutal murder of Chester Dean Dyer, he wanted to dine on some fried okra, french fries, steak, and some strawberry...
Life is not getting any easier for the UCLA Bruins. After an embarrassing defeat against Oregon last Thursday, the school just announced two offensive players have been suspended for one game. Wide receiver Ricky Marvray and offensive tackle Sean Sheller will both miss Saturday’s game against Arizona for violating team rules. The suspension comes down as the two Bruins tested positive in their latest drug screen test. What’s even more disturbing is this is their third failed drug test...
It’s not like Colorado is threatening to win the Big 12 or get a BCS bowl invite anytime soon, but Buff fans should be concerned that their prized QB, Tyler Hansen, will miss the rest of the regular season because of a ruptured spleen. The junior was injured in the second quarter of the Texas Tech game in which they actually kept it close in a 27-24 losing effort. During the second quarter, Hansen was hit hard on an option...
