"Not everybody’s the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever." You would think whoever said that quote has a warped view of life and is pretty uneducated, wouldn't you? Maybe it's just a line from a gangsta rap song? Hold on to your Buck nuts, football fan...Terrelle Pryor said this in response to why he liked Michael Vick. Are you kidding me? I would expect that response from a Michael Vick-- before he was busted for torturing dogs, of course--but not from the Ohio State Buckeyes' sophomore quarterback. Their field general. Classy stuff there, Terrelle. You pay a tribute to him with your eyeblack in the game against Navy. And after the game, when asked about why you like Vick, you come up with this ...

There's just something stinking like three day-old Limberger cheese in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A handful of current and former players have made some dramatic allegations about how Michigan is handling its football program. The allegations include the student-athletes being required to spend more than twenty hours a week during the season for football activities, often more than the allotted four hours per day, and having more than eight hours of mandatory workouts during the off-season, sometimes exceeding that threshold two or three times. The big question of course, is why did Michigan only go 3-9 with all of this extra training involved? Seriously, if Rich Rodriguez suddenly morphed into this giant ogre with goals far higher than every other elite football program, then why did he stink ...

One of the more controversial topics in college football-- the clause that puts a non-BCS conference team in the Rose Bowl if one of the bowl's league champions goes to the National Championship Game--just got more controversial.At Pac-10 Media Day, I had the chance to talk to David Davis, former President of the Tournament of Roses ('04-'05), who clarified that "clause." First of all, that clause has been around "for awhile," and that it was only recently publicized. Moreover, every BCS Bowl "will eventually" have the same clause as the one currently used for the Rose Bowl. It makes sense, if you think about it. Kevin Ash, Chief Administrative Officer for the Rose Bowl Game explained the clause this way: Starting in the 2011 game, the Rose Bowl will receive a non-BCS team if the following ...

The SEC is a tough act to follow. In every sense of the word. While Les Miles, Steve Spurrier, Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were entertaining the starving world of college football writers at SEC Media Days, Jim Tressel of Ohio State was lulling them to sleep. We had no Vote-Gate, no compelling probes into whether or not Terrelle Pryor was still a virgin, and we certainly didn't have a Commish proclaiming its conference in the "Golden Age" of athletics. We did however, have Joe Pa refer to Twitter as "Tweedle-dee." We also got a good dose of Paterno talking up his non-conference schedule like it was worthy of the Pittsburgh Steelers. When asked about the perceived softness of the Nittany Lions' schedule-- ranked around the bottom 25% of FBS -- Paterno said "We scheduled ... |
