The first part of this Iowa news series received such a warm reception by Hawkeye Nation, hopefully part two promises more of the same. Apparently, Hawkeye football in Iowa is more popular than corn subsidies. Iowans from Sioux City to Waterloo either left comments or shot-off emails, sticking up for their head coach, with some using a few choice words to do so. Nonetheless, I would not expect any different from any true college football fan in coming to the aid and defense of their...
Three years removed from winning his first and only BCS National Championship, LSU skipper Les Miles could be entering his last season as head coach of the Tigers. Miles assumed head coaching duties on January 3, 2005, when current Alabama head coach Nick Saban bolted Baton Rouge to try his hand in the NFL. Miles got off to a red-hot start by going 11-2 in his first season as head coach and earned a trip to Atlanta to represent...
Former Ohio State WR Duron Carter (son of NFL great Chris Carter) is headed to Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, KS. Carter, a freshman last season, played in ten games for the Buckeyes and accumulated 176 yards and 1 touchdown on 13 receptions. While Carter produced sporadically on the field, his production in the classroom slipped. He was ruled academically ineligible for Ohio State’s 2010 Citi Rose Bowl Game matchup against the Oregon Ducks and missed all of OSU’s...
Braxton Miller, arguably the best QB recruit in the 2011 class, announced this week that he’s headed to Ohio State. The 6’2, 185 lb signal caller from Huber Heights, Ohio, was heavily sought after by Florida, Georgia, Notre Dame, and a plethora of other elite Division 1 programs. Some recruiting experts are calling Miller the best QB recruit the Buckeyes have had in the past 10 years. While current Ohio State trigger man Terrelle Pryor was the most hyped...
NCAA football’s governing body just approved rule changes earlier today that will take effect starting in 2011 to include no eye black messages, no wedge blocking, and no major taunting. We first reported the proposed rule change back in February, but now it’s official. Players wearing eye black will be forbidden to write any messages on their glare blocking accessories. While eye black has always been a part of football, the trend of writing messages on them really took off...
College football’s best dressed coach gave a historic interview to a Columbus Ohio magazine that caters to the city’s gay residents. The Columbus Outlook interviewed Ohio State’s Jim Tressel last month where the coach suggested that he’d openly accept any gay player to the Ohio State Buckeye football family.”We try to tell our guys that an authentic you is the best you,” Tressel told the magazine. “That’s truly what freedom means, and the beauty of living in America. People...
Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee yesterday. Pryor is expected to recover quickly and should be at 100% by the start of OSU’s spring practice on April 11th. A week before the 2010 Rose Bowl, Pryor revealed that he suffered ligament damage in one of his knees but claimed that the injury wasn’t significant enough to keep him sidelined. The two year starter from Jeanette, PA enters his third season as the Buckeyes’ signal caller.
