Stick with Lee, Les

Disgraced LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson wants his starting job back from Jarrett Lee, his replacement. Jefferson, a senior, was reinstated to the football program last week after suspension for his involvement in a mid-August fight. He had originally been charged with felony second-degree battery, but a Louisiana grand jury reduced his charge to simple battery, a misdemeanor, thus clearing the way for his return. Jefferson has been LSU’s starting signal-caller since November 2008, his true freshman season in Baton Rouge....

Under Saban, The Tide Has Turned

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...

Redemption comes for Auburn’s Newton

After his arrest in Gainesville, FL, in November 2008 on charges in connection with a stolen laptop, Cam Newton’s career as a Division 1 athlete seemed to come to an end. As the legal system played its course, it was learned that Newton had indeed purchased the laptop from a seller he believed was legitimate. However, with his name and reputation tarnished, Newton and his family decided it best to part ways with the University of Florida and transfer from the school. In January 2009, Netwon enrolled at Blinn...

Friedgen feeling the pressure as Terps head into ACC play

Carrying an impressive 3-1 record, the Maryland Terrapins will host ACC foe Duke this Saturday at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in College Park, MD. Saturday’s game against Duke will be Maryland’s first conference game of the season. Although the season is very young, the lack of a presence of a truly dominate team in the conference makes the race for the ACC seem wide open this year. Expectations in College Park, and among Maryland alumni are high for the Terps...

Meyer vs. Saban, Act III

All eyes will be on Tuscaloosa, AL, this Saturday night when #7 Florida takes on #1 Alabama. There will be no shortage of storylines as these two schools’ bitter rivalry has become renewed over the past five seasons. The last time these two teams met was on December 5, 2009, in Atlanta, GA, for the SEC Championship game and a chance to play in the BCS National Championship. Alabama (#2) handily beat Florida (#1), 32-13, in route to their...

Rainey to Ex: “Time to Die”

The Florida Gators have enough problems with their on the field issues, but off the field is another story. Starting WR Chris Rainey may have not fully recovered from last weeks concussion as he did an incredibly stupid thing last night. He was arrested for aggravated stalking, a third-degree felony in Florida. The alleged victim is Chris Rainey’s ex-girlfriend of 3 years. The incident arose when Rainey’s ex, who happened to fall asleep, wasn’t answering any of his phone calls...

Rev. Jones’ fiery message causes concern for the Gators

For those who will be in attendance for Saturday’s Florida game, please be advised that there will be tight security in light of the Rev. Terry Jones planning to burn copies of the Koran at his Gainesville church. This is Rev. Jones’ idiotic way of memorializing the 9th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks-he dubbed the international burn the Koran day. The Rev. Jones has already received over 100 death threats, but that does not seem to bother the narrow...

Is Kirk Ferentz the most overrated coach in college football? Pt. 2

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...
