Excitement is building day by day as less than a month remains until two-a-days get underway at college campuses across the United States. This is the time of the year when expectations are up for everyone, a time when every team has a chance to be great, and unquestionably, a time when the Kool-Aid drinking is in full-force. In Boise, ID. dreams of crystal footballs being lifted fill the night sky. In Nebraska, corn-shucking production has ...

There are a lot of nicknames for Jacory Harris out there that make the rounds amongst college football fans none too happy about the Canes' steady revival. One that jumps out of me because of both its stunningly unimaginative wordplay and its roots in the truth is “Japicky”. This of course stems from the 17 interceptions thrown over the course of 2009, an average of 1.3 per game. The junior thus ranked second in the ...

Former BYU running back Harvey Unga is hoping to hear his name called during Thursday’s NFL Supplemental Draft. Meanwhile, with fall camp looming about three weeks away, the Cougars are trying to figure out life without Unga. Look for a combination of three players who will try to step up to fill the void left by Harvey at running back in 2010. Bryan Kariya Bryan is the quintessential Bronco Mendenhall-type player.  He’s an unheralded, blue collar, punch-you-in-the-mouth type ...

For the past ten days, I have been on UCLA's campus, fulfilling a contractual obligation to be a faculty advisor for some very talented high school scholars preparing to enter medical school. And like some kind of bizarro world revenge for having a committed Trojan spending time in enemy territory, I silently and painfully watched a slow exodus of players streaming from USC. First there was Seantrel Henderson, a fabulous talent whose physical prowess may not overcome ...

As Duke rests on top of the college basketball world for now, I begin to think about next year. The 2011 Final Four is set to be played in Houston, Texas, but who will be playing there in the semifinals? Every fan is entitled to their opinion, and I am simply sharing my thoughts. The first team that I believe will be playing in Houston next April is Michigan State, who will return for a second ...

I’ll go out on a limb and say cornerbacks aren’t exactly a strong point in the ACC this year. Aside from Harris and Dowling, there just isn’t a strong pool of guys. That's not a knock on my No. 3 guy though; Kenny Okoro from Wake Forest, is the real deal. And he’s only a sophomore. Complete breakdowns available at ACC Blitz.Begin Slideshow

This is not a doomsday article, and it isn't being written by someone on the east coast. I'm writing this article from the USC area, and after spending countless weeks getting tabs on what is going on, I felt it necessary to give Trojans and those who are USC fans a realistic picture of what the upcoming season will hold. Obviously, everyone now knows that USC will not be a part of the 2010 USA Today Coaches ...

Nike and EA Sports have collaborated with Former Florida Gator Tim Tebow to unveil Florida Gators themed EA Sports x Tim Tebow Trainer 1.2 at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

Not long after the creation of the Big 12, I predicted that unless the league were to change its divisions, it would see great disparity in football quality, which would lead to growing dissension that could rupture the conference. Virtually all people who read my warnings assumed I was crazy. After all, they were looking at the Big 12 North, with then top 10 teams Nebraska and Kansas State and recent national champion Colorado. But the big ...
