Last year was one that Andre Dixon wish never happened.  The only problem is after an All Big East year in 2007, his performance fell off a cliff.  He suffered an ankle injury early on in the season, and fell behind first-round draft-pick Donald Problem.  After suffering through all that while dealing with legal problems, Dixon probably hopes 2009 is a return to the numbers he put up in 2007.  Andre Dixon was suspended from the ...

264 catches. 3,080 receiving yards. 30 touchdowns. Those are the offensive totals that left along with former Tiger receivers Jeremy Maclin, Chase Coffman, and Tommy Saunders after the 2008 season. More pertinently, those numbers resemble the enormous task that awaits the current gang of Missouri receivers and tight ends for 2009. Suffice it to say that no logical fan expects those gaudy stats to be replicated by a unit that features only two seniors—both of which sat ...

Twas a week before kickoff and all through the land College football fanatics were way out of hand Eight months had transpired with no gridiron action The pause weighed heavy for some of this faction   The tease of predictions, commentary, and rankings Made the length of this hiatus even more everlasting But then came June, then July, finally August! Did it seem as if this summer was the longest?   To ease the suffering and to pass the time We sat at our desks with ...

There are certain teams that you grow up with, whether they're in the college ranks or whether it's a professional team, and not only do you stick with that team, but that team sticks to you. Growing up in California's Central Valley, you have to drive quite a ways to get the chance to see a professional sports team.  Three hours north to San Francisco to check out the Giants, A's or 49ers.  The same amount of ...

The backup quarterback picture at Missouri has just become a whole lot clearer, only not in the fashion head coach Gary Pinkel would have hoped. According to a press released by the university Friday morning, true freshman quarterback Blaine Dalton has been dismissed from the football program following his second arrest in less than four months. Dalton, 18, was arrested early this morning by university police on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, the Columbia Daily Tribune reported, ...

On November 21, 2009 Bo Pelini and Kansas State new/old head coach Bill Snyder will have a chance to renew acquaintances back in Lincoln. Pelini and Snyder both say that the 2003 coup d'etat is water under the bridge and I believe that it probably is.  But, we will see. Unfortunately, for Snyder he will not be bringing a KSU team to Lincoln with anything close to the talent level of his 2003 unit. No El Roberson, long ...

The decision over whether Pete Carroll should start true freshman Matt Barkley or redshirt sophomore Aaron Corp at quarterback was rendered yesterday when Carroll announced that Matt Barkley had won the competition.Opinions about whether this was the right move or not fall on both sides of the spectrum.However, I wanted to look at this from another perspective:Where the hell is Mitch Mustain in all of this?You remember Mitch Mustain, right? One of the most highly touted ...

The North Carolina Tar Heels entered the 2008-'09 basketball season as the clear cut favorites, just coasting along on their path to the first weekend in April. This years Tar Heel team doesn't have it so easy. Roy Williams and company will enter the 2009-'10 season as the reigning national champions, and with that target on their back there will be plenty of teams looking to take a shot at the kings of college basketball. North Carolina ...

As I was pondering the upcoming college football season I began thinking about all the things that make this game so special. You’ve got things you cannot find at the professional level, such as marching bands, male cheerleaders, and real mascots.   The more I thought, the more I began to realize how fun the game of college football really is. Each fan has a unique perspective, a favorite team, and the team they love to hate.   The ...
