Tom Brady hates Michigan State

As evidenced last night during MNF, shag-a-licous Tom Brady hates Michigan State. 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...

“A” is for Awful

The barbershop talk this morning is all about the disappointing week 2 in the ACC. To start, #13 Virginia Tech and Coach Beamer were a complete embarrassment being shocked and upset by James Madison University 16-21 in hostile Lane Stadium. The Hokies showed no signs of discipline turning over the ball 3 times and QB Tyrod Taylor was unable to garner any offense during the upset. Kansas quickly turned last week’s upset loss to North Dakota State into a...

Bret Bielema: worth the price of admission?

It’s time for Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema to make a move or to move on. Ever since the Iowa grad took over for Barry Alvarez, his Badger teams have been derailed from any major bowl or conference title. In his first season, he came out strong with a 12-1 record and won the Capital One Bowl 17-14 over Arkansas (’06). Wisconsin figured they landed a gem for a head coach, but his highly regarded teams quickly faltered (9 wins in ’07...

Jacory Harris is all thumbs up

Six months after surgery, Miami’s QB Jacory Harris is still recovering from the torn ligament damage sustained last season in his throwing hand. A confident Harris spoke to the media yesterday and reiterated that he will be ready for the September 2nd season opener despite missing all of spring practice and only throwing on a limited reps basis. Fortunately for the Canes, Miami opens the season with Florida A&M, a game in which Harris will not even see the...

Seantrel Henderson is going to Miami

Seantrel Henderson and LeBron James have something in common, they are both moving to Miami this summer. As the best high school player in the 2010 recruiting class, Henderson was heavily recruited by top programs but ultimately committed to USC on Kiffin’s assurance that the school would not face heavy penalties for violating NCAA rules. In the aftermath of the NCAA’s investigation and sanctions, Henderson immediately requested a release from USC to seek alternative programs. Early reports indicated it...

Kiffin releases top prospect Seantrel Henderson

Lane Kiffin did the right thing today by releasing Seantrel Henderson from his national letter of intent with USC. During the recruiting process, the highly sought after high school star had reservations about signing with USC because of the NCAA’s pending investigation during the Carroll days. Henderson was told that USC would not face harsh penalties which ultimately led to his signing with the Trojans. As we all know, the gauntlet fell on Troy which caused Henderson to get...

Duck Tales

One team’s burden is another team’s treasure. Former Texas DB Marcus Davis has enrolled in classes at the University of Oregon and will more than likely be playing for the Ducks in 2011. Davis was suspended after being charged with possession of a controlled substance and driving while intoxicated in November of last year. He was never able to get back into the good graces of Texas coach Mack Brown and decided to transfer and take his chances elsewhere....
