The first part of this Iowa news series received such a warm reception by Hawkeye Nation, hopefully part two promises more of the same. Apparently, Hawkeye football in Iowa is more popular than corn subsidies. Iowans from Sioux City to Waterloo either left comments or shot-off emails, sticking up for their head coach, with some using a few choice words to do so. Nonetheless, I would not expect any different from any true college football fan in coming to the aid and defense of their...
When the Florida Gators take the field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on September 4th against Miami Ohio, a new quarterback will lead the offense for the first time in three years. Gator legacy John Brantley will finally get his chance to etch his mark in the annals of Gator history. Brantley has one of college football’s toughest job in years, replacing all-everything Gator and college football legend, Tim Tebow. If the past is any indicator of the future, Gator fans...
Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford will not play this Saturday against conference foe Kansas. Bradford, who has already missed three games this season, aggravated his already sprained shoulder during the first quarter of last Saturday’s Red River Shootout. Bradford left the game after the injury and never returned to action. No timetable is set for Bradford’s return but he’s expected to see several doctors this week and get opinions of the injury. This season has been very unfortunate for Bradford as...
Sooner LB Ryan Reynolds has filed the proper paperwork with the NCAA for a medical hardship. The senior tore his ACL in last year’s game against Texas and missed the rest of the season because of it. Reynolds will not hear back from the NCAA until after the season is over, but optimism abounds in Norman. Former OU QB received a medical hardship after sustaining the same injury and missing around the same amount of time as Reynolds. Reynolds has...
TE Jermaine Gresham will miss Saturday’s season opener against the 20th rank BYU Cougars according to the Oklahoman. The senior Mackey Award candidate injured his knee this week in practice but school officials are keeping a tight lid on the severity of the injury. The Sooners will turn to either James Hanna or Trent Ratterree to fill in for Greshman this Saturday. Greshman surprised many by coming back to Oklahoma for his senior season as he was a sure bet to...
According to the Oklahoman, Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray left Friday’s practice with an apparent left hamstring injury. The 6’1, 214 lb. junior has had an astounding career as a Sooner, but it has been injury plagued. Murray missed 3 games in 2007 after dislocating his kneecap, and he also missed 3 games in 2008 after suffering an injury to his hamstring. He did not play in last year’s BCS Championship game against Florida. Before the injury last year he...
OU has a long tradition of producing winning teams and top NFL prospects. The Sooners have 7 claimed national titles, 42 conference crowns, and 5 Heisman winners. When you think Oklahoma Sooners, you think success. However, a scar in this tradition-rich program is the player’s history of criminal behavior. Just recently, Justin Chaisson was charged with assaulting his 17 year old girlfriend with a screwdriver, coercing by force, assaulting with a deadly weapon, coercing with a deadly weapon and...
