Oh, sure, hire a fraudulent, no-good sleaze failing to realize the circumstances of becoming the next suspect of a despicable crime. Whether UTEP is desperate or indulgent, athletic director Bob Stull wasn’t thinking, and now is willing to lavish Tim Floyd with a coaching job. In what seemed to be a tragicomedy at USC, it turns out revelations weren’t disastrous enough to influence an athletic director with good sense to avoid hiring an insidious goon. What is so ...

Derek Dooley doesn't consider himself a recruiter, but apparently he knows something about it. Tennessee has been scrutinized lately due to its defections in Bryce Brown and veteran tackle Aaron Douglas, leaving many wondering whether or not more will follow. To answer that question, Tennessee ran out and acquired Greg Clark, Senior DL at Northside Highschool Warner Robins, GA. He is a much needed addition, especially with the announcement that veteran tackle Aaron Douglas would be transferring. Greg ...

College football is a wonderful thing. The fight songs, the student sections, the way the players kill themselves on every play, and the way that championships are decided by BCSkynet, an advanced AI with a goal of frustrating all humans all make is better than the professional alternative (NFL). Wait, how did that last one get in there? That's the only item on my "Ten things I hate about college football" list. Once I get 10, ...

The college football landscape is an every changing animal. However there are many things that stand strong year after year, defense winning championships is one of them. The way that shotgun and hurry-up offenses have evolved has put an extra emphasis on having talent in the defensive backfield. In 2009 there were a number of senior-laden and experienced secondaries that were clear cut top-notch units. For 2010 more than half of the top 20 in pass efficiency defense ...

When I took on this daunting challenge to name the fifty greatest football Trojans of all time, I knew I would have some difficult decisions to make. First, I had to identify those fifty players. Then I had to somehow rank them in a logical order that expressed their place of importance in a hallowed football program. So many wonderful players, each of which had left a stamp of Trojan greatness in the era they played. How ...

Come Saturday, we will watch Michigan State and Butler square off, and Duke and West Virginia battle. But let's not forget about the eye candy on the sidelines. Each one of the four programs will bring their cheerleaders in tow to Indianapolis and the Final four. The quality of the cheerleaders at the four schools vary, but it is a good time to see which cheerleaders will stand out with only three games ...

As I was watching the filmed portion of Notre Dame’s practice last weekend, one player caught my eye after only a few seconds.   He ran quickly and under control, making surgically fast cuts. He caught every ball thrown his way and showed an explosive step once the ball hit his hands.   But what caught my eye the most was the jersey number he was wearing: Number seven.   No it wasn’t the departed Jimmy Clausen, but freshman wide receiver ...

Before everyone sits down for the Final Four, we get an appetizer of another championship, the National Invitational Tournament. Thirty teams have been bounced and now just the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Dayton Flyers remain. No. 4 North Carolina takes on No 3. Dayton at Madison Square Garden Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. Here is a look at what's in store for this atypical NIT championship matchup. Begin Slideshow

We all know about the changes coming next year with the Michigan defense. We also know that Michigan will not be starting a freshman QB for the first time since Chad Henne left. What we don't know is how RR and his staff is going to mix up the offense with three capable QBs on the depth chart for the first time in years. Now, I have to give credit to where credit is due, this ...

Georgia head coach Mark Richt announced yesterday that he will reclaim his seat in many of the offensive meetings that take place on the Georgia complex this season. Tim Tucker of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Richt has made it known to Coach Mike Bobo that he will once again attend the daily hour long quarterback meetings that Bobo runs. While this should not automatically lead us to believe that Richt is unhappy with the way ...
