Scheduled to attend: RB – Daniel Lasco, The Woodlands Lasco looks like he would be a solid pickup as an all-purpose/3rd down back. Nice quickness and burst. WR – Hakeem Flowers, Greenville (SC) Wade Hampton Flowers has a nice offer list but one has to wonder why neither South Carolina or Clemson have pulled the trigger yet. OL – Garrett Greenlea Best in-state tackle. Link to ESPN video. OL ...

I was lucky enough to score tickets to the USA vs. Switzerland Mens hockey quarterfinal game, so I shot a few pictures to help share the experience. There were many U.S. fans in attendance, but for some reason the crowd was slightly dominated with chants that sounded close enough to "Go Swiss!" by thousands of red and white sweaters in the building. Ah ha - the Canadians are not here to support Team USA, not after Sunday's ...

"He ain't heavy. He's my brother." So would say many players on Alabama's national champion football team.  He, of course, is Terrence Cody, the Crimson Tide's All-American defensive tackle who kept Alabama's undefeated season alive all by himself with a crucial block of a last-second field goal in the Tide's game against Tennessee. Cody's generally good-natured persona and size have made him popular both with his teammates and on a national level.  His ...

  Expansion is currently the talk of the college football world, as the Pac—10 and Big 10 are both looking to expand. Even though BYU and Utah seem like a natural fit to both jump to the Pac—10, the rumors have all pointed to little or no interest in considering BYU as a candidate for expansion. And interestingly enough, it's not about BYU's ability to compete in athletics. The Pac—10 has made a big deal out of ...

  Sometimes sports are like a Wes Craven-like remake of a family winning a lottery, only to have consistent misfortune plague the lives of everybody involved.   And although Matt Painter is not a coach wielding a ghostly mask or a finely-sharpened blade, he is the brains behind the basketball operation taking place at Purdue. Ranked in the top five in the nation, the Boilermakers looked like a sure-shot Final Four team.   That was until star player Robbie Hummel—one ...

  The season-ending ACL injury of third-ranked Purdue's star junior Mr. Everything, Robbie Hummel, was the last thing Boilermaker coach Matt Painter thought would get in his team's way of a Big Ten title. Hummel dropped to the floor in excruciating pain Wednesday night, after tweaking his knee on a routine drive to the rack in the first half of Purdue's 59-58 win over Minnesota. Nevermind the fact that Painter is hosting the ever so dangerous No.14 ...

The Northeast Conference may be one of the lowest mid-major conferences in all of college basketball, but you have to give them credit, they sure make things interesting. The conference has gotten little publicity, other than a dominant Robert Morris club poised to make it's second straight regular season title. However, as is usually the case, nothing will be decided until the last day. The Northeast conference is rather unique in the sense that the conference tournament ...

Basketball prep D.J. Haley of Palmdale High School (Palmdale, California) will make his official visit to Drake University Saturday for the Bulldogs' game against Evansville University—the unforeseen danger of the Missouri Valley Conference down the stretch. The 4:05 p.m. game is also Senior Day at the Knapp Center. Josh Young, Adam Templeton, Bill Eaddy, and Craig Stanley will hopefully prepare a show for both fans and Haley to enjoy.  Haley need look no further than Drake for his ...

Boca Raton—On the day Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany told ESPN's Colin Cowherd that nothing will be determined about a possible expansion for three or four months, it becomes increasingly clear that Texas and Notre Dame are the only schools that make sense. Adam Rittenberg, ESPN's Big Ten beat writer, reported that Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez told him that the Big Ten hired a search firm to explore expansion.  This is about as much as ...

It seems that without a season or nation signing day, all of Bleacher Report has taken to making pointless lists. So, I am jumping on the BANDwagon and listing some of the countries best marching bands. As an expert on the subject, I have taken to listing them, but not ranking them, as the various styles make no one the best, but there are a few national standouts. And because of the vast number of ...
