We’re here to give you a rundown of the college football picks for Week 1 of the new season and which games may have the best available value to attack. While there’s a huge amount of games for opening week, there’s only a few we’re going to touch on here. First off, we’d be foolish not to start things off with the defending champion Alabama Crimson Tide. They’ll take on Michigan in Arlington, Texas in what should be a...
The Rotary Club of Houston announced the 12 semifinalists for the 42nd annual Rotary Lombardi Award (RLA) awarded to the best college football lineman or linebacker. There are eight defensive players and four offensive players who made this year’s cut. The RLA will be awarded on December 7, 2011 at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas.

Houston WR Patrick Edwards is doing what every American does when things turn south, file a lawsuit. The WR filed a civil suit against Marshall, Conference USA, and the game day referee for maintaining an unsafe playing field during their 2008 match-up. During the 3rd quarter, Edwards was running full speed going for a long pass from QB Blake Joseph when all of a sudden CRASH. The freshman stud ran right into a metal service cart that was improperly...
Former Clemson QB Willy Korn transferred to Marshall with the hopes of competing for the starting job. However, after 10 days of practice coach Doc Holliday decided to move the triggerman to safety. The position switch came to a shock to Korn who played exceptionally well during preseason practice protecting the ball and throwing accurately. Korn was displeased with the move and decided it was best to find a new home where he would have a shot at fulfilling...

This time last year, Clemson’s Kyle Parker was a redshirt freshman who was entrenched in a heated quarterback competition with Willy Korn. Fast forward to 2010, Parker is set to enter the 2010 season as Clemson’s #1 QB on the depth chart while Korn has left Clemson for the greener pastures of Marshall. Parker led the Clemson Tigers to an ACC Atlantic division football title last season and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. While Parker demonstrated that he...
Clemson backup QB Willie Korn is leaving the football program for Marshall. Korn, a redshirt sophomore, came to Clemson in 2007 as one of the most prized QB recruits in history. Then-coach Tommy Bowden had so much faith in Korn that he and his coaching staff did not go after another QB in that recruiting class. Unfortunately, Korn’s career at Clemson has been plagued with injuries which left him too far behind on the depth chart. As a result, he has never...
For the first time in college football bowl history, a woman officiated a major college football bowl game. Sarah Thomas was wearing the zebra stripes officiating as a line judge during the Little Caesars Bowl this past Saturday. As Marshall was battling it out against Ohio, Thomas was blolwing her whistle when she saw fit. She was excited to be on the field and showed no signs of distraction even though she felt “a little uncomfortable at first because you...
