When Dwight Smith arrived at TCU, nobody thought he would ever be able to play football for them. One year later, he may not only the most underrated player in college football, but also one of the best running backs in the entire NCAA. Smith had a very interesting journey through high school. He started out in Texas, moved to California in his junior year to live with his dad, and then back to Texas for ...

With the news today that Purdue forward Robbie Hummel is most likely lost for the year with a knee injury (Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com, among others, is reporting that doctors believe Hummel tore his ACL in last night's 59-58 win over Minnesota), the Boilermakers are left to pick up the pieces of a once-promising season. Purdue enters the home stretch of the regular season sitting atop the Big Ten standings at 12-3, looking forward to a ...

It's never too early to start looking around for football news, right? Man I miss it already. Anyways, with a new coaching staff taking over the ranks at the University of Kansas, every position is up for grabs. Over the course of the offseason, I'd like to piece together an individual, player-by-player slideshow for every available position, ranking those individuals in order from whom I predict will have the least impact in 2010 to the fellows ...

  College of Charleston (19-9, 13-3) at Wofford (21-8, 13-3) 7 P.M. Thursday night's game between the College of Charleston and Wofford will not only decide the South Division title, the winner will also claim a punched ticket to the NIT, which is awarded to the school that finishes league play with the best conference record. For the first time since the 2005-06 season, we'll have a team not named Davidson crowned as the South Division champion. For ...

It has been 15 years since the Arkansas Razorbacks have won an SEC West title in basketball. That feels like a lifetime for a program with a tradition of winning championships. This season, the Razorbacks were expected to be at the bottom of the SEC West. Most experts picked the Hogs fifth in the division. Less than a week ago, the Hogs were in the drivers seat with the SEC Western Division lead and heading into road ...

Larry Burton (Panama City Beach, Fl) Everybody knows that Alabama will be returning a Heisman Trophy winning running back this year. It's no longer a surprise that his immediate backup, Trent Richardson, may wind up winning one of his own some day. And to risk a flag for piling on, Alabama will also unleash Eddie Lacy this fall and let a few other dazzling backs loose on defenses. That's what everybody is expecting. What they aren't ready ...

There has been a lot of talk about the possible expansion of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship from its current 65 team bracket to as many as 96 teams. Many are just fine with the current bracket (myself included), but a bracket expansion at some point seems likely.  There appears to be a willing market for additional tournament games and most coaches are more than happy to increase their chances of making the tournament. The ...

Boca Raton—A tight-mouthed Jim Delany was asked about Big Ten expansion on Colin Cowherd's "The Herd" radio show this morning and offered little except to say, "In three to four months we'll have an idea what the next step will be, if any." Delany has been the conference's chief exec since 1989 and was responsible for the bringing on board of then-independent Penn State to increase membership from 10 to 11 teams. Cowherd tried to get ...

There's a gun battle brewing in Lubbock. Two gun slingers ready to prove they can lead the 2010 Texas Tech football team to the top of the Big XII conference. Both have shown they're capable of big time performances. New head coach Tommy Tuberville has already expressed that both players will be on a level playing field and both players will have an equal shot at winning the starting job. That could very well spell bad news ...

This story was originally posted here. Michael C. Wright has reported via Twitter that Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will opt out of performing any physical drills in the 2010 NFL Combine. Tebow is reportedly on site and will partake in interviews and all regular tests, but will not be available for any drills. This is an interesting decision, as Tebow has already withdrawn his name from the list of quarterbacks who would throw at the Combine, joining Colt ...
