College Football’s Human Highlight Reels in 2010 (with video)
With the 2010 NFL Draft now in the history books, the College Football world officially bids farewell to some of its human highlight reel players of the past several years.
Peace out Tim Tebow, and goodbye Dexter McCluster.
Sayonara C.J. Spiller, and see you later Dez Bryant (although it’s been a while anyway).
We will miss you Golden Tate, and it was fun while it lasted Armanti Edwards.
It may seem sad, but these former college football play-makers must ...
Two UNLV Players Look To Make Their Mark On the Atlanta Falcons In 2010
The Atlanta Falcons must have liked what they saw at UNLV's Pro Day.
The Falcons drafted former UNLV center Joe Hawley in the fourth round and then reached out to his former teammate, undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver, Ryan Wolfe.
Even though Wolfe was undrafted, he may have the chance to make the bigger impact on the Falcons right away.
Of the wide receivers on the Falcons roster, only Roddy White (11) had more that two touchdowns ...
Logan Gray a question mark: Is Mark Richt officially on the hot seat at Georgia?
There is a buzz about the state of the University of Georgia’s football program, and the buzz is not a positive one.
This offseason has seen the dismissal of two of the Bulldogs' potential starters for 2010, the indefinite suspension of a walk-on player, and maybe one of the most lackluster recruiting classes in the Mark Richt era. As if all of this was not enough, the Bulldogs may be down to one scholarship quarterback in ...
Why Michigan Basketball Isn’t As Bad As You Think
Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims are gone. The Detroit duo that gave Michigan fans reason for hope and carried Michigan to the NCAA Tournament is off to greener pastures.
It's time to move on.
While many agree that Michigan basketball is in a tough place right now, I still have reason for optimism. While I think it's a stretch, I don't think it's totally unrealistic that Michigan could find itself back in the NCAA Tournament next season. ...
The Road to Repeating: Alabama Crimson Tide Has Long Haul Ahead
Alabama's football program has a long road ahead of them to repeat as National Champs. Aside from losing key players, I foresee potential dangers around the corner.
The Crimson Tide looked great in the A-day game, and seem to have most of the kinks worked out; but almost every team on the 2010 football schedule has 'Bama in their sights. By my count, Alabama should have at least seven games circled on ...
Crimson Alert: 10 Under the Radar Players Who Could Shine for Alabama in 2010
Following a 2010 BCS National Championship, and another top five recruiting class, Nick Saban is obviously not lacking in the talent department.
Alabama's explosive offense will be led by Heisman winning running back Mark Ingram and his "partner in crime" Trent Richardson. The Crimson Tide also have a dynamic receiver in Julio Jones, who is almost impossible to bring down if he catches the ball.
Although Alabama's defense will only be returning one starter from last season(Mark ...
2010 NFL Draft: 12 Big Steals from the Big 12
Aside from His Holiness, Tim Tebow, the story of the 2010 NFL Draft had to be the marquee talent produced by the Big 12.
The conference produced the first four picks of the draft and five of the first six. Nine picks in the first round hailed from Big 12 schools, the most of any conference.
However, not all of the conference's best got scooped up Thursday night. Plenty of quality Big 12 prospects waited until late ...
Soundtracking the Pac-10: Previewing the 2010 Season In Style
The 2010 season is nearly upon us. Spring games are right around the corner, and teams are making their last minute adjustments before the real deal starts.
That means prediction time. "Experts" are letting out predictions, magazines are working as we speak, and here at BleacherReport (though the draft steals our thunder), we're hard at work too.
Instead of a traditional preview I decided to spice it up...by soundtracking the Pac-10 teams.
This means we got ...
Craig Roh Has Big Shoes to Fill for the University of Michigan
Last season Michigan fans were introduced to Craig Roh, a 238-pound outside linebacker from Scottsdale, Arizona's Chaparral High School. This season they will be introduced to a bigger, tougher, and just-as-fast version of Craig Roh. He plays at 250 pounds right now, but his speed is still prevalent.
"It's Barwis’ training. It’s the training where you gain the weight, but it’s good weight, it’s muscle," Roh said. He explained the method, saying, "Your force is still going up—force ...
Without Evan Turner, Ohio State Buckeyes’ Big Men Are Key to Success
The Ohio State men's basketball team's identity will have changed drastically from last season to this upcoming season. Last season they spent the majority of the time in a four-guard set with Kyle Madsen and Dallas Lauderdale rotating at the center position. Evan Turner was the star of the show, and the Buckeyes lived and died by jump shots.
The Buckeyes go into next season with some depth at the post position, something they haven’t had ...
