Sadly, Iowa defensive coordinator Norm Parker had his right foot amputated last month due to complications from his battle with diabetes. Though he has been hospitalized since September, head coach Kirk Ferentz is anxiously waiting for Parker’s return to spur an Iowa defensive that ranks 4th in the nation allowing only 242.2 yards per game. Ferentz is more than confident that Parker will be back coaching prior to the end of the season and Parker wants nothing more but to...
The Big East continues to sink further into the depths of irrelevance and the calls for the conference to lose its automatic qualifying bid grow louder and louder. As we are well into the college football season, there is no Big East team in the Top 25. The conference has failed miserably in its non-conference play boasting a combined record of 19-14, average at best. However, when you consider 9 out of the 19 wins came against DI-AA teams,...
On January 3, 2007, Nick Saban agreed to become Alabama’s 27th head coach. Both the Tide and Saban were the butt of many jokes across the nation. College football fans from Eugene, OR, to West Palm Beach, FL, were placing bets on how long it would be before Saban left the Crimson Tide for greener pastures elsewhere. Thirty-eight wins later, it looks as if Saban and Alabama are having the last laugh. For a conference that prides itself on being the...

The former Wolverine, who lead the Patriots to a dominating 41-14 rout over the Dolphins, did not want back-up Brian Hoyerto see any substantive playing time despite the Patriots sealing the victory midway through the 4th quarter late last night. Hoyer, one of Sparty’s QB career leaders in several offensive categories, was itching for playing time, but after every Miami possession change, Brady trotted back on the...
Life is not getting any easier for Coach Butch Davis and the Chapel Hill faithful, with NCAA infractions looming, player suspensions, and a 2-2 record, the university is reporting that defensive tackle Greg Elleby will miss the remainder of the season due to injury. Elleby tore his ACL and MCL in his left knee this past weekend during UNC’s 42-17 win over ECU. The Tabor City, NC native is expected to go under the knife this week with the...
The last time the Colorado Buffaloes had reason to celebrate, George W. Bush was in office and the Buffs knocked off #21 West Virginia in an edge-of-your-seat 17-14 overtime victory. Fast forward to 2010, the Colorado nation now has something to cheer about after a strong non-conference showing going 3-1 with one setback at the hands of Cal 52-7. The eyes of excitement were apparent by the ecstatic fans rushing Folsum Field after the Buffs upset Georgia 29-27 this past...
