Tim Tebow will be a Success regardless of Senior Bowl performance
Everyone should really stop jumping on me every time I get something wrong.
How come no one calls me when I get things right? Which I might add, does happen a lot.
Tim Tebow an A-List Person of the Year 2009 nominee on AroDrive.com, for reasons best known to him (Tebow) he has decided to attend the [...]
Lane Kiffin; like him or hate him, he’s here to Stay.
Whether the word is arrogant, loud, rude, talented or obnoxious, they all seem to work when describing former Tennessee football coach, and now the newest coach of Southern California, Lane Kiffin.
But the word that springs to my mind when describing the coach is simply: Why?
What has Kiffin done at any point of his coaching career [...]
The Pete Carroll hire in Seattle reeks of desperation
I more than understand the competitor in individuals, believing we can do anything and do it well at any level.
Rick Pitino, Nick Saban and even Pete Carroll has made this move in the past (making the change from College to the Pros) and have failed dreadfully.
All 3 coaches (Rick Pitino, Nick Saban and Pete Carroll) [...]
Mark Ingram Not Deserving of the Heisman
There was no real big surprise on Saturday Night at the Heisman Trophy presentation, we all knew Mark Ingram was a lock in to win and he did win.
I must say ESPN really need to do something about the presentation show, that was really boring, I fell asleep at least twice during the 60 minutes [...]
Brian Kelly is Notre Dame’s new head Coach
On Wednesday, the hot name involved with the vacancy seemed to be current Connecticut coach, Randy Edsall. Even though Irish officials were in contact with Edsall, he was plan B for Jack Swarbrick in case Kelly decided to back out and return to the Bearcats.
According to several media outlets and ESPN, Brian Kelly has informed [...]
Who Should Win the Heisman?
Stanford running back Toby Gerhart might be favorite to win the Heisman this year. Been on the phone the last 2 days speaking with voters and all I hear is”Because his season best exemplifies what one should want from the player deemed the best in college football”.
Gerhart excelled statistically, rushing for more yards (1,736) and [...]
Meyer decision to Suspend Dunlap is Wrong
There’s no doubt Carlos Dunlap deserved to be punished for he’s DUI arrest (Dunlap, 20, was arrested at 3:25 a.m. Tuesday by Gainesville Police Officer Robert Rogers at the signal light at Southwest Second Avenue and Southwest 34th Street.), but does the whole team deserve to be punished too? as Urban Meyer has suspended Dunlap [...]
Bowden, A Giant Humbled
Bobby Bowden is a legend in sports, not just College Football or in Florida State University a program he turned into a national powerhouse over 34 years—which included an unprecedented streak of 14 straight years with Top Five finishes.
Now he’s been forced out of the Job he dedicated he’s life to for 34. Yes [...]
Young Responsible for Resurgence in Tennessee
It’s funny how everyone likes to jump on bandwagon when things are good and then over criticize when they are rough.
When the titans were 0 and 4 I called for the Titans to replace Kerry Collins with Vince Young, because the major issue they were facing was Collins inability to avoid sacks. Got lots of [...]
The Heisman Race just got Complicated
A crowded and indistinct Heisman Trophy race did not get much clearer this weekend.
Big games by the brand name candidates — Texas’s Colt McCoy and Florida’s Tim Tebow — were matched by another amazing performance from Stanford’s Toby Gerhart, while Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Clemson’s C. J. Spiller each had a less impressive showing.
And don’t [...]
Weis rides into the Sunset after a Thriller
So it seems, the era of Charlie Weis comes to an end in a thriller against Stanford that Weis went out trading playbook pages with Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh in a 45-38 defeat that neither assured nor hastened Weis’ firing.
Weis rolled into town at the beginning of he’s career at Notre Dame with such fan fare, [...]
Charlie Weis just placed the last nailed on he’s own coffin
As it has for many Saturdays these last few weeks, the morning-after fallout started in South Bend and radiated outward.
Florida? Oklahoma? Cincinnati? Really, none of us can move on until Notre Dame makes “The Move.” You can only hope that Charlie Weis doesn’t hang in the public square for too long. The man is owed [...]
The Heisman Race much clearer
The Heisman Trophy will be presented four weeks from tonight. As the race gets serious, here’s a look at how the contenders did or are doing today. Keep your eye on Toby Gerhart, Stanford’s senior running back, who has put up big numbers in recent weeks.
>>Mark Ingram
There’s a lot to be said of the [...]
Tim Tebow and the Gators rolling into another BCS Championship
Survive and advance.
That is the slogan for the defending national champion Florida Gators.
Style points don’t matter, just winning so they can go into the SEC championship game against Alabama with a chance to play for their third title in four years.
That is how Florida’s players summed up their outlook after South Carolina bowed to the [...]
Is time Pete Carroll rethink he’s Leadership Abilities!
I love Pete Carroll but he got his comeuppance on Saturday. Judging from the picture above that had to a be a long walk back to the locker room…
SC fans had better buckle up. Because of the last 7 seasons of dominance, EVERYONE is going to be lining up to take their shots at us [...]
Just another Nail in Charlie Weis coffin
When Weis was introduced as Notre Dames’ head coach five years ago at his press conference he suggested, “Well, guess what folks you are a 6-5 football team and that’s not good enough.”
Before the Pittsburgh game Weis was on life support. After dropping another game to a ranked opponent it seems the time is nearing [...]
Nick Saban and Alabama clinches SEC West championship
left defenders grasping at his heels and Alabama’s defense was typically immovable. The Crimson Tide is riding that combination to the Southeastern Conference championship game for the second consecutive season.
Jones broke free for a 73-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and No. 3 Alabama locked down No. 9 Louisiana State in a 24-15 victory [...]
Is it Conspiracy or Reality about SEC officiating? We examine the Facts
Mike Slive may fine me for this, but here goes.
How can it come to this? How can college football’s best conference — the best players, the best coaches, the best of everything — continue to be subjected to brutally poor officiating?
Alabama beat LSU 24-15 in the best game of the season to date, and all [...]
Colt McCoy was lights-out in rout of Knights
The Central Florida defense dared Texas to beat them with the pass, especially the deep ball.
The Knights dropped their safeties and used their linebackers in a firm zone or on run blitzes, all in a futile attempt to upset the second-ranked Longhorns Saturday at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Bad, bad plan for Central Florida.
By game’s end, a sellout [...]
Tim Tebow and the Gators continue to struggle on offense
No. 1 Florida didn’t do much to erase all the negative vibes from a rough week for the defending national champions.
Tim Tebow accounted for two touchdowns, Caleb Sturgis kicked two field goals and the Gators beat Vanderbilt 27-3 in a lackluster effort Saturday night at The Swamp.
Florida fans looking for something positive following linebacker Brandon [...]
Time to start looking for Charlie Weis replacements
Notre Dame is a program that prides itself on tradition. Under Charlie Weis, the Irish have developed a new one: Losing at home to Navy.
Two years ago, the Midshipmen came to South Bend and snapped an NCAA-record 43-game losing streak against their annual nemesis. The game marked the low point in an altogether miserable 3-9 [...]
Colt McCoy and the Longhorns ready for BCS national championship
Among his 40 career victories as Texas’ starting quarterback, Colt McCoy has racked up better statistics than he posted in Saturday’s 41-14 victory over Oklahoma State.
He has led the third-ranked Longhorns to victories over more talented teams than the 13th-ranked Cowboys. But he has not added a bigger “W” to his 40-7 career ledger as [...]
Finally an easy one for Charlie Weis and the Fighting Irish
Before Notre Dame raced onto the dome-away-from-home turf Saturday night, a Jumbotron montage announced an unofficial annexation: “Texas Is Our House,” the slogan declared, the place apparently recast as the Loan Star State after the Irish established temporary residency for the weekend.
A decent ovation followed as the Irish raced out for the first of their [...]
Why the Ducks made a fool of Pete Carrol and USC
USC’s usual game-changing defense is missing in action, leaving Trojans looking very much unlike a Pete Carroll team in 47-20 loss at Oregon.
So you think you gave out the good stuff at your house? You should have seen what was happening at USC’s house.
On a chilly, misty Halloween night, Oregon loudly knocked on the gaudy [...]
Tim Tebow was: Amazing?, Invincible?, Unstoppable? won the Heisman on Last Nights Performance vs Georgia.
Not even black helmets could stop Tim Tebow today, as the Gators rolled Georgia 41-17, putting UF six wins away from a fourth National Championship. We can make a statement like that because Florida’s win was a demolition from each unit; from Caleb Sturgis 56 yard field goal to UF’s linebacker corps forcing four turnovers. [...]
