We at the View From America went to go to "Inception" recently. A quick review: It's one of the best films of the summer. Is Christopher Nolan the new Stephen Spielberg? Probably not. But then again, he's an amazing director. If you haven't been told about the premise to "Inception", it's about a guy who makes his money going into people's dreams and stealing their ideas and selling them on. Now, he has ...

Throughout the last 25 years, the Big Ten has undergone a slow transition from run-oriented, pro-style attacks to exciting spread offenses. The metamorphosis has produced impressive statistics by a number of quarterbacks in recent years, including Troy Smith, Drew Stanton, and even the enigmatic Juice Williams. But long before the new breed of athletic, versatile signal-callers emerged throughout the Big Ten, Drew Brees, Kerry Collins, and Elvis Grbac took to the air and tallied big numbers while ...

One of the most entertaining aspects of college football is the constant influx of new talent. A sport constantly in transition, the most common storyline in college football at the beginning of each season is which unproven players will ultimately prove adequate in replacing former stars lost to the professional ranks. This season in particular, college football will be without some of the best players that it has ever hosted—Heisman winner Tim Tebow, and winningest ...

The beginning of college football season is right around the corner. For Buckeye fans, the question is where will Ohio State be ranked? In my opinion, OSU should be ranked No.1. Last season was a great season for the Buckeyes, and since  they have had time to improve on their talents, this season should only be better. In addition to having time to improve on their abilities, the Buckeyes have managed to keep many of their star players, ...

The Connecticut Huskies will be having high expectations from Jr. All-Big East RB Jordan Todman in 2010 especially with the departure of the second half of last season's dual-threat RB Andre Dixon. Todman proved that he can carry the load as a leading RB last season and collected three 100-yard games in UConn’s final four matches including amassing 162 yards against the Bearcats in Cincinnati. If the Huskies decide to focus their attention on a primary ...

For the most part, a 5-star recruit will go on to have a productive college career, if not achieving the heights anticipated during the recruiting process. But there are always a few that simply don't pan out for ...

Sometimes Greg McElroy looks out of place on the football field. Indeed, if you saw him on the street you wouldn’t guess he was a star QB for the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide.    He is a smart student who makes good grades and received the Paul W. Bryant Award for his academic, athletic, and community achievements.  He also hasn’t lost a football game since middle school.   In Southlake Carroll High School in Texas, McElroy ...

After back-to back 9-4 seasons and a ranking in the Top 25, Mountaineers head coach Bill Stewart will try to remain optimistic as his team finished the 2009 season with a 33-21 loss to Florida State in the Gator Bowl. Defense was key to the team’s success ranking 36th allowing only 25 touchdowns while allowing their opponents an average of 330.0 total yards against them per game. Offensively, the Mountaineers will need some work. They finished ...
