    Apparently Arkansas State is doing a psuedo Hard Knocks style video series for this upcoming season. I don't know exactly how it will develop but the first "episode" is definitely interesting to watch as a fan.

    Man. That's damn cool and VERY well done. You've got to be absolutely giddy, Tommy, with that type of hype brewing at Arkansas State.

    Please continue to post these when they come out as I'm definitely watching them.

    Arkansas State had 6115 attend our spring game this year. That may not sound like a lot but previous years we had maybe 1000 max, it's a, big turnout. Added that we charged $5 plus you had to buy bbq if you wanted, it's definitely a success. All previous years they didn't charge admission and gave away free hot dogs and drinks.

    Awesome! I figured the excitement of having Gus as the new head coach would create a lot of buzz. WVU is expecting a record crowd for them this year. Wish I was able to make the 120 mile trek to the stadium to watch.

    So I just saw that Kyle Prater transferred to Northwestern. Not sure when this happened but I remember this kid in the Army game a couple of years ago and just dominated. I think he redshirted his Freshman year so should be a SO this year.

    happened back in january.

    only reason why he didnt play more at was because of a lack of consistancy and was frequently injured (foot). he could make the incredible one handed catch in double coverage in the back of the endzone, but couldnt handle a ball thrown on a quick slant with the db playing off coverage. he'd whiff occasionally on his blocking assignments too.

    Yeah, but he's young. And there is a lot of talent in the USC receiving corps these past two years if I'm not mistaken.

    not anymore. a lot of the receivers transferred in order for to get down to 75 scholarship players, as part of the sanctions. they had, i think, 9 or 10 scholarship receivers last year; this year, they'll have 7, 2 of which are gonna be true freshmen (with one of those freshmen being a rb/wr hybrid), 1 redshirted last year, another hasnt played a down yet in his career as a junior. only woods, lee, and farmer have seen the field out of the 7.

    i'm looking forward to seeing what a healthy george farmer brings to the table, especially since he's faster than oregon's deanthony thomas.

    Alabama's $30,000 BCS championship trophy was accidentally shattered this weekend. Here is all that is left



    TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A piece of history from the University of Alabama's championship run was shattered on Saturday afternoon following the Crimson Tide's annual A-Day scrimmage.

    The Coaches' Trophy from this season's BCS national title was accidentally knocked off its podium and shattered by a player's father whose foot got caught on a rug that sits beneath the trophy display. The Waterford Crystal trophy was on display in the Mal Moore Athletic Facility halls, home to coach Nick Saban's office and other athletic personnel.

    The handmade trophy sculpted in Ireland is valued at $30,000. The university previously had two such trophies, one at the Paul W. Bryant Museum and the other at the athletic facility. A university spokesman confirmed that they will immediately begin the process of replacing the trophy.

    The crystal football has been a fragile piece in recent years. In 2008, Florida had its broken when then-recruit Orson Charles fumbled the ball away. In 2004, Florida State had a pair of trophies stolen from a glass case outside of Bobby Bowden's office during renovation of the building.

    Charlie Green, trophy manager for the American Football Coaches Association, said he uses adhesive tape to secure the ball when it's toured around the country and advises universities to take the same precautions when displaying it.

    "It's pretty fragile, I guess," Green said. "It only weighs about eight pounds so I can see where if it gets bumped it would roll off."

    I wouldn't think so, first of all. But secondly, I don't think Arkansas is likely to hire a coach for a single year. Nor do I think they'll stick with an interim.

    apparently arky contacted pete carrol, who quickly turned down the offer.

    good for pete. i loved him as USC's coach, and he's awesome as the seahawks coach.

    40-60% of oregon's football team smokes weed according to one current quack football player.

    the zero's responce

    amazing on how little punishment there is if someone is caught. 1st offense is counceling, 2nd offense is a behavior modification contract, 3rd offense is half season suspension, and 4th is loss of scholarship and booted from the team.

    as a USC and Hawaii fan, i like the disciplinarian coaches that both teams have (USC with Ed Orgeron) and have had (Hawaii's Tommy Heffernan) in the past. i know that USC's first offense is a 1 game suspension, 2nd offense is that the player is dismissed from the team (but still has the ability to come back if he shows he responsibility- kinda like the behavior mod contract). 3rd offense is you're gone with no chance of rejoining. hawaii's was similar in the 3 strikes and you're gone philosphy, but didnt dismiss players from the program after the second offense.

    I love FIU and Arky St. now because of OD's. I actually like Memphis a little more now, especially since we don't play them in anything anymore.
