Just kidding. But they are changing their uniforms. The new jerseys, designed by Nike, promise to be lighter and tighter than the past ones. There are subtle changes in style, but nothing major. Don’t worry, Michigan will still wear the famed helmets they stole from Princeton so many years ago.
Princeton, the original, albeit less famous version of this helmet design.
Georgia Tech, known here in Atlanta as the North Avenue Trade School, decides to pre-empt the NCAA and recommend a year of probation for itself, the first time the school would face probation in its long history. The fuss largely focuses on Tech’s use of academically ineligible players in the period of time between 2000-2004, and seems to be the result of sloppiness, rather than deliberate negligence on the part of the school. It’s enough to make a Tech fan miss George O’Leary, Ph.D, MSN, MPH, MBA (references available on request…)
The indefatigable Pete Fiutak previews the Memphis Tigers here, including their wunderkind running back and Heisman dark horse DeAngelo Williams.
Tony McDaniel, all 6-7, 295 pounds of him, gets a felony assault indictment for punching a man in the face during a pickup basketball game in January and breaking his face in four places. (Let’s put that on the ever-growing list of injuries we’d never want to experience, along with a prolapsed rectum, any kind of compound fracture, and a paper cut on the eyeball.) We know Phil Fulmer won’t do anything to upset his players, including advising them not to beat people, steal things, or cheat on exams. But Phil’s missing a real myth-making opportunity here: how redneck cool would it be if he went all Buford Pusser in “Walking Tall” with the discipline thing and walked around campus with a big stick, beating the tar out of rules violators in front of horrified student witnesses. You know he could do it-the man could steal a car in broad daylight in downtown Knoxville without a peep from the owner or bystanders. The kids would love it, and it would give us an excuse to go rent the original for the fifty-eighth time.
See? Phil even looks like Joe Don Baker. It would be perfect, guys.
The Maurice Clarett saga is over, as far as the NCAA is concerned. They have formally ended the investigation of Ohio State regarding allegations of booster misconduct, finding nothing to support or substantiate Clarett’s claims of shennanigans in Columbus. This means Ohio State won’t face sanctions or have to give up its 2002 national championship. The Evil Sweater Vest must be thrilled, especially since ESPN will now have to clumsily backtrack on two and a half years of negative reporting on the Buckeyes. Can this somehow lead to Chris Berman getting fired? We can only dream.
Jim Tressel thanking the Lord for exoneration, and begging for him to smite Bristol, Connecticut.
Kentucky is a team that has never had depth as an advantage so Wildcat fans must be disappointed by coach Rich Brook’s announcement that three of last years freshman class will not return to the team in 2005. Two of the three were redshirted defensive players, but the list also included Kentucky’s third leading receiver and special teams dynamo Lonell Dewalt.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
