Despite what happens off the field, if you win 21 games in two seasons, fans will support you wholeheartedly, at least if you are Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino. Ever since the infamous motorcycle accident in which Petrino was anything but truthful, the university placed him on administrative leave causing a stir amongst the Razorback Nation. So much so, loyal fans have cried out to save Petrino’s job. As the facts surrounding the motorcycle accident and inappropriate relationship with...
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson fired correctional officer Rodricus Hurst for releasing truthful information about a player arrest that embarrassed the Mississippi State football program. Earlier this year, a reporter contacted Lee Country Jail once word got out that 22-year-old star MSU wide receiver Chad Bumphis was in jail for his involvement in a physical altercation during a friend’s birthday party at a Tupelo bar. Hurst told a North Mississippi Daily Journal reporter that Bumphis was arrested but released on...
For generations of kids who grew up rooting for their parents’ alma maters, the dulcet tones of the school’s radio man piped into the living room or the car and became synonymous with college game day.

Maryland fans went from elation, with the signing of five-star recruit Stefon Diggs, to dejection, with QB Danny O’Brien and two other players announcing their intentions of transferring from the program. The 2010 ACC Rookie of the Year announced on Monday that he would not be returning to the team. His departure is a significant loss to the already short-handed Terps. The Terps, coming off a two-win season, will now have only one experienced QB under center. QB C.J....
Former BYU defensive lineman and Washington Redskin alum Jason Buck can “no longer stand by while Barack Obama…destroys the fabric of our government.” With Buck’s strong statements bashing the administration’s lavish spending, the All-American linebacker announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District to tackle Obama’s free spending. Buck wants a leaner government that is “pro-family and fiscally sound.” Buck will have to face-off against a litany of fellow conservatives for the GOP nomination....
Now that the dust has settled, it is clear that Penn State’s acquisition of New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien will prove to be a good move for a scandal-ravaged university. For the first time in nearly half a century there will be no Paterno on the Penn State sidelines. This move is exactly what Penn State needed to do in taking that monumental leap in rebranding itself after a horrific past few months. Though several former players...
It is no wonder that the Washington Huskies fired three defensive coaches after the defense yielded an embarrassing 777 yards of total offense and 67 points in an 11-point loss to Baylor in Thursday’s Alamo Bowl. Earlier today, the school officially announced the termination of defensive coordinator Nick Holt, linebacker coach Mike Cox and secondary coach Jeff Mills. The news should not come to any surprise as Washington boasted one of the worst defenses in school history allowing 453.3...
Though there was a sparse crowd of 25,042 at RFK for the 2011 Military Bowl, the Air Force Falcons and Toledo Rockets did not disappoint with their back-and-forth scoring between two high powered offenses. Toledo secured its 42-41 victory in an instant classic after Air Force failed in a 2-point conversion gamble with :52 seconds remaining in the game. The Mountain West’s Air Force Falcons and Mid-American Conference’s Toledo Rockets are two of the most high-scoring offenses in the...
