We all love to see the embarrassing “Not Top 10″ plays where a player, say, picks up a football and runs it into the wrong endzone. It’s lighthearted fun that no doubt leaves the player feeling a bit sheepish for a little while. But sometimes, sports programs find themselves embroiled in much deeper, much more disgraceful scenarios of their own design. These highly public embarrassments can ruin lives, cost schools thousands or millions of dollars, and leave the entire...
Navy QB Kriss Proctor led the Midshipmen to a 24-17 victory over SMU today despite zero passing yards. In fact, Proctor only threw the ball twice, both being incomplete (he did have one complete pass, but it was to the other team). “I love it,” Proctor joked. “I didn’t complete a pass. I threw a pick. I guess that counts as a completion.” Where Proctor failed in the aerial attack, he more than made up in the ground game....

Official reports noted that at least 15-16 TCU related messages were found in-and-around the stadium. The school is in the process of power washing...

Some shocking news coming out of the SMU camp. Earlier today, back-up defensive lineman Torlan Pittman was indefinitely suspended following sexual assault charges filed against him for raping a woman with his friend back in September 2009. Pittman and former Sam Houston State baseball player, Curtis Weatherford, were both charged for this crime. Apparently, Pittman and Weatherford were at a house party where they met the victim. Reports state the victim was heavily intoxicated and then taken home by...
