Eric LeGrand Rises Tall

In true inspirational fashion, Rutgers defensive lineman Eric LeGrand tweeted pictures of himself standing upright with his mother earlier this week. When LeGrand fractured his C3 and C4 vertebrae back in October, being paralyzed from the neck down, doctors thought he would never come off ventilators let alone walk again. LeGrand quickly defied the odds by being removed from ventilators shortly after the paralyzing hit and is now standing tall. With sheer faith and uncanny determination, LeGrand is sending...

The Big (East) Debacle

The Big East continues to sink further into the depths of irrelevance and the calls for the conference to lose its automatic qualifying bid grow louder and louder. As we are well into the college football season, there is no Big East team in the Top 25. The conference has failed miserably in its non-conference play boasting a combined record of 19-14, average at best. However, when you consider 9 out of the 19 wins came against DI-AA teams,...

Kragthorpe gets the boot

The unemployment rate in Louisville just increased by one today as Louisville fired head coach Steve Kragthorpe. This should come as no surprise seeing how Louisville finished the season with a 4-8 record after taking a beating against Rutgers 34-14 this past weekend. Kragthorpe lead the team to its worst season in over a decade and had a paltry 15-21 record in his three seasons after taking control upon the departure of Bobby Petrino in 2007. Kragthorpe may not...

Rutgers’ next two games are against Howard and Texas Southern, both of which will be...

Darrell Givens, a star Maryland  high school cornerback and Rutgers recruit,  is still awaiting word from Rutgers officials about his admission to the New Jersey school. The issue delaying the admissions process is with Givens’s high school transcripts from Friendly (MD) HS.  Givens had initially signed a letter of intent to play for Penn State earlier this year but the school withdrew its offer earlier this week, which was a surprise to him. Givens’s high school coach, Doug Lamb,...
