Michigan gambles by adding Appalachian State in 2014

Seven years ago, Michigan was the laughing stock of college football after Appalachian State, Division 1-AA powerhouse, blocked a game winning field-goal stunning, not to mention embarrassing, the Wolverines in a 32-34 upset.  The shock waves are still present in Ann Arbor, and to exact revenge, Michigan’s AD David Brandon agreed to reschedule a date with Appalachian State for the 2014 season opener.  In Montgomery Burns fashion, Brandon cracked his knuckles and announced to the Wolverine Nation that “we look...

Redemption comes for Auburn’s Newton

After his arrest in Gainesville, FL, in November 2008 on charges in connection with a stolen laptop, Cam Newton’s career as a Division 1 athlete seemed to come to an end. As the legal system played its course, it was learned that Newton had indeed purchased the laptop from a seller he believed was legitimate. However, with his name and reputation tarnished, Newton and his family decided it best to part ways with the University of Florida and transfer from the school. In January 2009, Netwon enrolled at Blinn...

Is Kirk Ferentz the most overrated coach in college football? Pt. 2

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...

Heavy turbulence lies ahead

As Rich Rodriguez kicked off the 2009 season, all signs were pointing to the Wolverines climbing back to the promised land of elite status. However, after midway through the season, the Wolverines did a 180 and headed straight down for a crash landing and the fans are getting frustrated. In two seasons, RichRod has amassed an 8-15 (3-12 in the Big Ten) record. This is unacceptable for a program with such prestige, but don’t fret fans, RichRod is here...

Florida State will cover

It’s week 8 and The Matador is 4-3 on his weekly picks. Last weekend, Penn State was a huge victor over the slumping Wolverines. This week’s lock should provide the same financial reward. Florida State (-7.0) will cover easily over NC State. The Wolfpack (3-4) have lost their last two games to Duke and BC by an average of 26.5 points. Meanwhile, the ‘Noles have the #1 offense in the ACC and Ponder is putting up Heisman type numbers...

Drug deal goes up in Flames

Early The Matador reported WR Justin Feagin was kicked off the Wolverines for violating team rules. We have now learned that the violation stems from a cocaine deal gone bad. Basically, Feagin was going to arrange for a shipment of cocaine to be sent to fellow student T.J. Burke for $600.00. Burke paid the money to Feagin, but the shipment of cocaine never arrived and Feagin refused to return the money. As time passed, Burke got upset. One drunken night,...
