The Razobacks’ Anthony Oden, the younger brother of Portland Trailblazers Greg Oden, drank a little too much moonshine during the 4th of July festivities. Oden was arrested and booked at the Washington County Detention Center for DUI, careless driving and driving without a license in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The 20 year old was booked early Sunday morning and released that afternoon on a $1,055 bond. His court date is scheduled for August 9th. The 6’8 380 pound sophomore played sparingly...
Marshall Faulk is pretty flippant about NCAA regulations. He understands Reggie Bush’s perspective with respect to cash payments to athletes but doesn’t see why coaches aren’t held accountable for violations. In an article by Jim Moore, Faulk stated that he would have had no problem taking money while in school if it was offered to him. “Were you ever offered anything in college?” I asked. “Nah, I went to San Diego State,” Faulk said. “Other than good weather, they...
Since former Crimson Tide safety Justin Woodall didn’t get drafted or signed by any NFL team in 2010, he is moving on to baseball. The 2 year starter saw the 2010 NFL draft pass him by and the Chicago Bears did not sign him as a free agent when he attended mini-camp.

Times is reporting that USC’s running backs coach Todd McNair is “no longer part of the staff.” McNair has been a staple on the USC sidelines as the running backs coach for the last six seasons. He played an integral part in USC’s sanctions and was ultimately forbidden by the NCAA and the university from contacting recruits going forward. Rather...
Two sport athlete Kyle Parker is scheduled to visit the Colorado Rockies this weekend to layout his future plans. As it stands, Parker has two options: return to Clemson to play football with the Tigers or sign on the dotted line and go pro in baseball. Last year Clemson went 9-5 and beat Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. During that year, Parker had an impressive run passing for 2,526 yards, the fifth highest total for a freshman in...
The single hottest coaching seat in college football burns in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Head coach Rich Rodriguez enters his 3rd and perhaps final season as the Maize and Blue commander-in-chief. Unfortunately, it has not been all glitz and glamour for a coach who took the West Virginia Mountaineers to their greatest success in school history.
