The Pac-10 has invited the Utah Utes to become the newest member of the future Pac-12, and sources are reporting that Utah will happily accept. Utah officals are holding a press conference tomorrow and Pac-10 officials will be in attendance. If you are a member of the Ute Nation this is undoubtedly great news. This move makes Utah an instant player in the BCS picture and gives the program national exposure. This bodes well for program revenue and recruiting, something that...
The ghost of Barry Switzer seems to be cursing athletes in Norman, Oklahoma. Switzer’s ghost continues to haunt left tackle Donald Stephenson. Stephenson, who was slated to be in the starting rotation for 2010, was picked-up this past weekend for an outstanding municipal warrant. With his second arrest in less than one year, his days on the playing field could be in jeopardy. At approximately 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 10th, Stephenson was pulled over on East Norman Street for failing...
Two Harbaughs will be roaming the sidelines during Stanford’s Sun Bowl appearance against the Oklahoma Sooners. Jack Harbaugh, father of Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh, was hired as an interim running backs coach for the Cardinal for their bowl game. Stanford was left without a running backs coach after Willie Taggart bolted for the head coaching gig at Western Kentucky. Rather than have to rearrange things from within the coaching staff, Jim Harbaugh gave a call to his old...
As the bowl line-up was recently announced, two teams received a back handed compliment. #6 Boise State and #3 TCU both landed BCS bids, but much to their dismay, they did not get the marquee match-up as they hoped. Unfortunately, they will be playing each other in this year’s Fiesta Bowl. When TCU and Boise State both received bids, the school’s erupted with enthusiasm. But seconds later, the crowds suddenly became disenchanted when it was announced that the Horned...

Though he was very limited at practice, he was able to perform basic throwing drills from 5 to 10 yards. Coach Bob Stoops does not want to speak on a time table for Bradford’s return, but the Sooners favorable schedule may allow just enough time for Bradford to...
The hits just keep coming for the Oklahoma Sooners. All Big XII tight end Jermaine Gresham’s career as a member of the Sooner football team is over. Gresham will undergo season ending arthroscopic surgery on his right knee that will take at least 5 months to heal. He injured his knee during practice two weeks ago and missed OU’s season opener loss against the BYU Cougars. Gresham turned down potential millions by not entering this year’s NFL draft and decided to return to OU...
Not only did BYU shock the #3 Oklahoma Sooners 14-13, but this crushing blow could prove to be worse as Sam Bradford went down in the second quarter when BYU defender Coleby Clawson leveled him. The clean hit caused Bradford to sprain his throwing shoulder and sidelined him for the remainder of the game. The Sooners, without their Heisman Trophy winner, proved to be very anemic on offense. Back-up QB Landry Jones stepped in but could not drive the...
