Are You Really Surprised??

Well it looks as if another University is (allegedly) guilty of breaking the rules again, what a surprise…Should it also come to anyone’s surprise that the school coming under all the heat this time is Miami? I’m running out of things to say about this recent epidemic plaguing college sports; which is also slowly changing …

Sleepers in 2011 (SEC)

This Kentucky squad fits the description of a sleeper better than any other team I’ve discussed thus far. Second-year head coach Joker Phillips has room to improve after his Wildcats posted a so-so season in 2010, which was capped off with a trip to the BBVA Compass Bowl. It’s not always easy to take a …

Sleepers in 2011 (Big Twelve)

The Baylor Bears make my watch list because despite capping off 2010 with a Bowl trip there’s still some doubt whether or not this team can be consistent in the future.  I mean, let’s just be for real here, before last season the Bears hadn’t gone bowling since Snoop Doggy Dogg’s hit single, “Gin and …

Sleepers in 2011 (Big Ten)

Last year, this squad was on the verge of doing something great in the Big Ten before the team got hit with injuries. In the first 6 games of ’10, Purdue went 4-2; however, the second-half was pretty abysmal as the Boilermakers dropped the last six of its games. I believe the return of QB …

Sleepers in 2011 (ACC)

One sleeper team to watch out for in the ACC will be the Virginia Cavaliers. Sure, posting a 1-7 conference record last season might have you thinking the exact opposite from me, but I believe this team is headed in the right direction. Despite the dismal record, there were several bright spots for Virginia in …

5 Names to Remember in 2011: SEC

1)   Auburn: Sophomore Running Back Michael DyerNow while I think Auburn’s a long shot to repeat as National Champions in 2011, I do believe the key to the Tiger’s success will be through its rushing attack. Last season, the Tigers had the 5thbest rushing average per game (284.8), and despite losing Mr. All-Everything Cam Newton, to …

5 Names to Remember in 2011: Big Twelve

1)    Baylor: Junior Quarterback Robert GriffinBaylor is beginning to make some noise in the Big 12, and one of the reasons why is because of its playmaker Robert Griffin. The pieces are starting to come together for Head Coach Art Briles but he knows that everything revolves around his star quarterback. Griffin has become a …

5 Names to Remember in 2011: Big Ten

1)    Illinois: Sophomore Quarterback Nathan ScheelhaaseLuckily for Ron Zook there wasn’t much of a drop-off at the QB position after Juice Williams’ departure at the end of the ’10 season. In fact, there was no drop-off at all. Statistically, Scheelhaase performed better in his first season as a starter, than Williams did in his final …
