Daniel “Boom” Herron Becomes the Man
Over the past two weeks, Daniel “Boom” Herron has emerged as the go-to-guy for the Ohio State Buckeye offense. It all started after halftime in the Wisconsin game. Herron, after only four carries in the first half for 36 yards, anchored the Buckeyes’ first touchdown drive of the game with 6 carries for 32 yards, including an impressive 13 yard touchdown burst. After a Badger … [Read more...] about Daniel “Boom” Herron Becomes the Man
Notre Dame QB Dayne Crist Out for Season, Patella Tendon Rupture
The injury bug has certainly been biting Notre Dame this season. And today it bit starting quarterback Dayne Crist again. Last week, in a loss to Navy, ND was without their top three weapons on offense: Theo Riddick, Kyle Rudolph and Michael Floyd. This week they lost Crist, their starting QB, early in their home game versus Tulsa. He's out for the season with a ruptured … [Read more...] about Notre Dame QB Dayne Crist Out for Season, Patella Tendon Rupture
Troy Smith to Start for the 49ers!
This Sunday, Troy Smith will take the first snap for the San Francisco 49ers against the Broncos---in London, of all places, which is either fate or simply a very bizarre place to play a football game. After starting QB Alex Smith separated his shoulder, 49ers head coach Mike Singletary (more evidence of the hand of fate) bypassed second-string QB in favor of the third-string … [Read more...] about Troy Smith to Start for the 49ers!
Will Notre Dame Tragedy Cost Brian Kelly his Job?
Of the two generalized groups of people calling for Coach Brian Kelly's dismissal at Notre Dame, I think one group has a valid case, while the other does not. Negligence within the coaching staff chain of command precipitated the tragic death of Notre Dame student Declan Sullivan. He was needlessly put in a recklessly grave situation, and heads will roll because of it. If … [Read more...] about Will Notre Dame Tragedy Cost Brian Kelly his Job?
Is Time Running Out on the San Antonio Spurs?
The San Antonio Spurs dynasty just continues to chug along. However, it appears as if the train seems to be run losing fuel. Their nucleus of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, and Tony Parker is starting to get up their age but if that core is healthy during the post-season, the Spurs are more than capable of once again making a run in the NBA Western Conference. By: David Kay … [Read more...] about Is Time Running Out on the San Antonio Spurs?
99 in 99: #24 Texas Longhorns
Remember when the Texas Longhorns were 17-0 and the top ranked team in the country last season? I will admit it; I was buying into the hype. They looked like they were going to be a gimme to get to the Final Four with their well-rounded roster. Instead, the Horns ended up losing eight of their final fourteens regular season games and were a one-and-done in the … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #24 Texas Longhorns
99 in 99: #25 San Diego State Aztecs
A bubble team entering the Mountain West Tournament, San Diego State won three games in three days to claim the title and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. This season, there should be no worries about having their bubble burst as the Aztecs should be a Top 25 caliber club. The Sports Bank’s “99 in 99” college basketball preview ranks the 72 power conference and … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #25 San Diego State Aztecs
