Nothing like killing the kids right after Christmas vacation and the kids aren't in good shape yet. And then not coming back to check on them for the first two days they are in the hospital. Ferentz got an ear full from parents.

I'm sure his coaches tried to downplay the situation and tell him everything was fine. Not an excuse, but wouldn't surprise me if he was told it was an overreaction. Since he has a son on the team, I would expect that he would have reacted more like a parent than coach if he had known all the information.
lol i knew he was up to no good with that mustache
That got a former Big Brother participant four years in jail I do believe....not sure if a good lawyer can get you out of jail time for that
WTF is with Clemson cleaning up on Signing Day???
According to Jeremy Crabtree, UVA in at #19 now......WOW
I think clemson is the new 'it' school to hang around for 3 years and jump to the NFL *see Bowers and Jamie Harper who are leaving this year after accomplishing nothing as a team*. Makes for exciting signing days and some big plays and good hype pre-season but very un-satisfying where it counts...i have seen this before, FSU was this type of school in Bowdens last 5 years or so.
Breakdown of 2011 #NU Recruiting Class by state: Texas - 5; Neb. - 4, Florida & Ohio - 2; Ala.a, Cali., Illin., Kan., Mass., S.C. - 1 each.
And most thought the jump to the Big Ten would hurt our Texas recruiting. Over time it might, and then again it might not.
That's a cute puppy and that would be cool.
Does anything good ever come out of social media? Other than "I got in touch with (some asswipe you've survived 20 years without speaking to)." This is hilarious. What a d-bag.

Just read an article on ESPN by Ivan Maisel and this was the most interesting blurb to me.
Big East expansion update -- the league is in a holding pattern until original member Villanova decides whether to exercise its open invitation to move up from FCS. The school is expected to make a decision no later than its trustees meeting in April. Central Florida is the next leading candidate. There has been considerable talk that South Florida is working against adding UCF to the league. Whether or not USF is that shortsighted, it won't matter. USF has but one vote and the rest of the league will do what's best for the league.
This is directed towards South Florida

TCU declines offer to play Wisconsin - I know it's all about the money any more and everyone wants a home and home, but step up and play the game.

Is a Rose Bowl rematch brewing between Wisconsin and TCU for the 2011 season opener?
It's not going to happen, but both schools were contacted about the idea.
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said on a Madison, Wis., sports radio station Wednesday that he was approached about playing host to TCU on Sept. 3.
"I was contacted probably a week, maybe a week and a half after the bowl game about the opportunity to play TCU in our opener," Bielema said on the show. "It was something that was going to be broadcast and made a big deal. It took me all of about point-five seconds to say, 'Yes.' "
TCU defeated Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, vaulting the undefeated Horned Frogs to a No. 2 final ranking in The Associated Press and USA Today top 25 polls (they remained No. 3 in the final BCS standings).
"I would definitely love the challenge to play them again," Bielema said on the show. "And really, I thought it would be a great sell with our folks. Unfortunately, TCU wasn't as excited about the matchup."
TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte on Wednesday confirmed that a third party approached him about playing the Sept. 3 season opener at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium. Del Conte also confirmed that he declined the offer.
However, he said his lack of interest in the game had little to do with a lack of excitement at the prospect of playing the Badgers again, but rather that the one-time meeting would not produce a return game in Fort Worth.
"We already have Baylor for our opening game," Del Conte said. "A team supposedly Wisconsin played last year doesn't want to go back there. A third party was shopping the game around to other teams. I have no interest in playing a one-[time] game."
A source said UNLV, which played host to Wisconsin for the 2010 season opener, wants to get out of its scheduled Sept,. 3 game against Wisconsin.
Del Conte said plans for a potential home-and-home series were never discussed.
"It was a very quick conversation with a third party," Del Conte said. "I want to be clear: I never spoke to the Wisconsin athletic director or football coach."
Now, had Ohio State -- whose president, E. Gordon Gee, famously had chided non-BCS conference teams such as TCU for playing schedules littered with the "Little Sisters of the Poor" -- been the Big Ten team seeking a late schedule change, Del Conte said he would have been all ears.
"Oh yeah," he said, "of course."

If I were TCU, I wouldn't take that Wisconsin deal either. Big teams have no problems Non-AQ's, as long as it's a 1-off in their house. Kinda punk-ish. Play home and home.
